    Will game vibe ever work with this? That would be awesome

    I have Andres software, there are several parts that you have to buy though. Sound module, Wings, and Wings for transducers. It can get costly. They do work well though.

    Thanks for the info Zorg. That's an option, but sure isn't cheap.

    Andre´s Software is really worth the money. It works really great and I love my Buttkicker BK-4 with it.
    The Immersion is really there, I feel the flaps moving, the gear locking and gear doors closing…...works all like a charm.

    Well looks like I can try it for free. Still waiting for my sound card to clear customs before I can test anything

    Hi folks

    I have been using BoS plugin v2.0.0.6 with my 5 dof sim for quite a while. All works well. Sway and Surge are swapped, but no problem now I know. Roll rate on Extra 2 I find gives really good feeling with no over the top of a roll problems. Not sure what is on Extra 1, I think it may be Pitch rate. No idea what is on Extra 3, my test servo moves, but I cannot work out what I am seeing.

    My main reason for this post is to ask if there is any chance of having Airspeed available. I use Airspeed to stiffen up my control column at speed, amongst other things.

    Overall, very happy and grateful to have this plugin available.

    Hey Guys!
    I have a PT-Actuator 3-DOF + TL (4 actuators plus the TL actuator). I have been using the same platform for flight as well. The actuators at 150mm 250mm/s stroke

    I've used the Traction Loss actuator as a kind of Yaw/Rudder input, but in level coordinated flight, my rig is still pushed towards the left and not centered.

    Anyone know why it's doing that?

    Which motion software are you using? Simtools or PT-Mover?

    Hi Michael, I am using PT-Mover, not sure what forces are available with simtools currently.

    Check to see if there is an acceleration force or angle rate that you can use rather than Yaw.

    In the plugin's tuning center, theres roll rate, pitch rate, and yaw rate. But in the axis assignments, I set the TL Actuator to the Yaw Axis. The only other axes i can set it to Pitch, Roll, Heave, Yaw, Sway, and Surge, but theres also Extra1 (pitch rate), Extra2 (roll rate), and Extra3 (yaw Rate). Are you saying I should set that actuator assigned to Extra3?

    Yes, use Extra 3. And set a washout value so it will return to center

    That worked. I read some other post I think you wrote on a while back about it. It started to feel jerky so i used 100% smoothing and that helped most of it. Then the recentering feels like its bouncing left/right until it recenters, so I put washout to 100 and gain 1 and i think thats the best i got it to so far. I gotta play with it more but thats definitely what it should be doing. Thank you.

    Do you use roll rate and pitch rate in axis assignments, instead of roll and pitch? I left those under roll and pitch and it felt fine to me.

    Yes, rates rather than just roll pitch

    And does the rate in Tuning Center work like expected. Lower numbers, slower rate, higher numbers means higher rate of movement? Or is it like the regular tuning center values, where smaller values are faster and more stroke movement?

    Sorry, not sure. I use PT Mover

    Ah understood. @yobuddy is that what you recommend I do? Use Extra1 and Extra2, instead of roll and pitch? And how do I interpret the values in tuning center if I do use extra1 and extra2? Higher means more rate of roll/pitch?
