It looks like a backward compatibility issue. HF8 predecessor Forcefeel, which is actually supported by SimShaker for Aviators, was designed looking back at Gametrix JetSeat KW-908 which featured 8 motors but just 6 channels to control them. Guys intended to provide backward compatibility with existing software. Probably something was messed up. Other SimShaker software pieces address all 8 motors of Forcefeel/HF8.

Now this is more like it! This software is a MUST HAVE for the HF8! So much more detail than the HFS software. It brings this Spitfire to life!! Now all I need is a motion rig hahahaha..... NB When I set this up and on initial start there were no entries in the Generic Piston Engine as shown at 08:29 so I am guessing that you ran this software once in MSFS before actually showing the windows in the video. It works fine once you load an aircraft in and choose the Generic Piston Engine profile. This is magical!

I just finished flying with SSA the first time...and it is WAY better than the software that came with it...even only using 6 of the transducers.

( WHAT HAVE YOU PUT IN YOURS ) I use quest 2 and hyper x headset and change them as to which I'm using. The issue I have is the only way to get the transducers to come through from the sim is to set the mains sound from msfs, is to set it to the transducers; but this then stops me hearing the game sound.

The problem ist that your seating position gets higher and higher… I am at a point where my knees hit the table top when I put my feet on the rudder pedals. Now I‘m thinking about raising my desk by 5cm. Never ending story…

Isn't it possible to use the buttkicker and HF8 together with SSA? Cheers

Yes, but you need to purchase the separate sound module for bass shakers. 30 bucks and worth it.

After a week of use…HF8 works flawlessly, but SSA keeps dropping-out everytime after only a few minutes.

@@SimHangerFS Ok, that worked and I reinstalled Simconnect. But the same thing happens, after about 5-10 minutes it just stops working. So I start HF8 and that works fine. I can sometimes feel SSA turning on and off over HF8, even though I shut it off lol! Frustrating.

The manufacturers software is plain a waste of time. Eg if you crash the plane and need to restart the flight for any reason the whole cumbersome process has to be gone thru again . Just use simshaker for aviators

The HF8 is significantly overpriced it seems, I'll wait until it's below $150.

I'm curious what your comparing this product to as far as price goes? I don't see any product which has Haptic feedback anywhere near this price. I just purchased it for my B-Day for $180.00. I would agree, it's not cheap. So Keep an eye on Amazon and elsewhere in a month for Black Friday deals as this will likely be closer to your 150 price point. I've tested this today with DCS and very impressed with it. And I have a bad back and the force feedback it provides has an added benefit of having a massage while gaming lol. So much so I'm hunting dog fights... lol.
