Finally got around to getting my Simshaker to work with FS2020 yesterday. That's a nice help.
For anyone who's having a problem, you need to install a SimConnect.msi.

Just bought the sound module, been using the simshaker wings for a while - any more info on how you sort this?

edit - got the thing running but there seems to be no way to edit strength or turn on/off individual effects as there is in the simshaker wings... If i turn on effects monitor under view i can see which effects are activating and they are turned on all at 50% but can't edit there.

Do I have to edit each soundfile or is there a section I'm missing? Only DCS seems to give the option to adjust individual effects. The g-force effects are driving me bonkers.

double edit - had to refresh SSA to get the generic types to show up, nevermind!

I'm on IVAO tonight doing Gatwick Tower ATC... be flying on there shortly through MSFS and the 32NX mod!
 
no idea what said:
That's awesome. I'd fall to pieces doing that job. I've not even plucked up the courage to fly online with ATC yet!

IVAO Is a good place to start, I do fly on VATSIM when I fancy online ATC (I don't always!) And I'm waiting to get their OBS1 for ATC training but they don't come round often on there.

With online ATC I will always recommend listening in to ATC from an airport stane on IVAO or Vatsim so you get an idea of what to expect. I'll be doing some Gatwick Twitch streams of ATC in the next couple of weeks too. But there's loads of guys that do VATSIM ATC Streams. HazControl is about the best out there. He does mostly center control but does some EGLL Tower too.

I do all my online ATC on IVAO as you can almost learn as you go but having watched countless streams and studied im working toward Aerodrome Controller (I'm an AS3/Advanced Trainee) ATM with view of becoming a Center controller.

But AS3 allows me to open any tower position and control. Gatwick is by far my favorite.

So I have my G2 and my 3080, Vr later this month,
I'm not very hopeful of getting a good experience if I'm honest,
Given how many compromises I have to make in other sims like racing games and Elite Dangerous, I think this game will bring my system to its knees lol,
Will see though :)

I have a G2 and 3090 and VR is mind blowing. Can't emphasise enough how good it is. I presume your 3080 won't be far off my 3090. Can't give too much away but you'll be impressed. Personally I won't ever play it on a monitor again.

I have a G2 but not in the VR alpha(beta?), patiently waiting for the 22nd but I know for a fact my 1080 is going to struggle.

Yes. All I can say is I see a lot of tweaking in our futures ;)

Lucky, I hadn't received my G2 in time to be able to Dxdiag with a VR headset attached which apparently was something they seemed to filter.

Ah well, only just over another week until I can find out just how woeful my 2070S is going to be.
 
I have an Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and on 27/10 bought a Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant.. It has since been delayed three times with the latest delay (due today) now saying it will arrive on 20/01/2021. I don't have a lot of faith that it will arrive on that day however i really hope it does. Is there another throttle in a similar price range to the Honeycomb Bravo that i could buy quicker or should i just wait and hope it arrives. I'm happy to pay a little more for something better if it gets here quicker too.
 
I think it's quite a unique product, in that it combines throttle x 6, trim wheel and controls panel with gear/flaps control.

You could look at getting a combination of saitek and or CH components...

Any idea when the embargo is up for the VR reviews?

I also have a 3090, but use a Quest 2, what sort of FPS do you get in a G2 (I assume with decent settings)? I ask because from my experience, low frame rates are a nightmare in VR.

Lots of people experiencing delays with this, especially if you're ordering through Amazon. I had exactly the same when I ordered my TSA Airbus Quadrant with Amazon, I know of at least 3 or 4 other people saying the same.

It's either a case of wait and see or go elsewhere, I cancelled my order with Amazon and ordered with Aerosoft and got it within a week.
 
Feature discovery episode 9 about VR is live.

Really cool they are using OpenXR, think this must be the first real world use of it!

Sounds like they’ve put quite a lot of effort in already, both in terms of rendering pipeline and UX. Looking forward to getting my hands on this one!
