    Same for sim racing. Feeling the growl of a 60's muscle car, the rumble strips and thump of every shift. Even idling in a F1 car is great. Couple with The Logitech z906 surround sound system adds more immersion. I've had Buttkickers in my home theatre for years and knew I'd be happy, especially with the Hapticonnect telemetry.

    It is a huge upgrade. I use Simshaker for Aviators software with it and I can feel the bumps on the taxiway heading down to the runway. I use it for DCS also and the first time I used it I had it turned up too high. I landed on the Carrier with the F-18 and a picture fell off the wall, lol. You can use the onboard sound on your motherboard. You don't need a separate one.

    I have the exact same setup as you and had the same issues with overheating. The nlr chairs dedicated mount for the buttkicker is the issue, it dampens too much of the vibration. I moved my buttkicker to the middle crossbar infront of the seat itself and since then ive never had it overheat, i even had to turn the buttkicker down.

    There is one big problem using a butkicker, you won't want to fly without it. Your rig is dead, the motors must be off, it's just not on. I use mine mostly with sim racing and if there is a problem with it, amp settings, loose cable, whatever it is, I have no interest in using any sim without it. Great feedback in sim racing, and it doesn't hurt to feel a tiny little kick when the gear locks in fully retracted.

      I've had a ButtKicker gamer plus (attached to Herman Miller Embody) and initially thought it had overheating problems. In reality, it's that you have it kicking too hard and constantly. I get it; the initial phase of owning one has you wanting to constantly feel it, but trust me when I say you want it toned down soon enough. Real pilots can suffer the actual feeling of a plane's constant ricketiness that settles in your bones, that's not my goal for my flight simulation experience. Turn down the volume/power of the vibration effects on whatever effects are happening constantly -- especially full time engine/RPM, and for sim G-effects if you're constantly pulling them and then you'll be fine. The maximum power output of the Buttkicker is very high but it has a far lower sustained output due to heat. If it's firing at high levels, before long it'll quickly overheat and turn off. I know personally that cuting it to a certain threshold you'll discover over time, and it gives plenty and it'll sustain for however long your gaming session is.

    Cool video. I have had my butt kicker for years. My dogs hate it. The vibration scares them and they go running. If it is over heating you need to turn the volume down. I ended up switching to a haptic pad. I like the controls and how that feels more but it makes the chair uncomfortable to sit on the pad so I will most likely be switching back to the butt kicker.
