    Hi Guys

    I have a question which i'm asking on behalf of a friend. Now obviously most of us are using PCs and have PC based motion sims but my friend is running a basic sim rig and uses a PS5 for driving Sims. Does anyone have any experience with wiring up a Butt kicker or similar device to a PS5?

    The PS5 controllers give a really good range of vibration feedback so I assume this might be possible?

    Any help would be great.
    Thanks

    P.S. First time being back on here in a long time so i have a lot of catching up to do.

    The simplest would be to use existing audio, via a loss pass filter, or do you mean managed via SimTools Game Vibe? If the latter then the plugin used would need to have Game Vibe support enabled.
