    Hi,
    I am thinking about buying a buttkicker to add to my sim rig but I dont know much about it.
    Can I install it fairly easy and use together with x-sim?
    My idea is to add vibration of engine and such fx to the experience ... Is it worth? Is it possible?

    Thanks!
    Rafael.

    Correct me if I am wrong but I presume you would simply need to add an axis with the name of your detected device and then add the effect 57 ... ?

    I have no buttkicker ...

    Sorry buddy, I don't have one either.
    Maybe someone with one could help you out more with specifics.
