Simhub profile for Nextlevel HF8 Haptic Gaming Pad

Hello. i'm using HF8 and so dissapointed with default SW.
so i tuned with simhub and this is my profile.

0. install and open latest version of Simhub / connect HF8 via USB.
1. Shakeit Motors / Effect Profile/ Profiles manager/ import profile
2. Motors output/ select HF8

+ if you have fanatec V3 pedals,
i strongly recommend you enable All pedal's susspension travel vibration
these will be great combo!

I hope it helps other users. cheers

 

Thanks for sharing Young
You're missing the subtle tickle of vibration in the seat of your pants that you get accelerating. Here's my profile, try it and see what you think..

 

Thank you. i will try it after office.

 

I tried both. One has too low effects 25% or so and I couldn't feel anything.
The other is better but has wheel lock on two different settings with the result being the mono one cancels out the other that has wheel lock set to the front wheels.
Here's mine. Gear Shift on all motors, Rumble (kerbs) @ 100% on the four seat motors, Redline rpm in the upper back motors, Wheel Lock in the front two motors, a bit of road feel, and lateral vibrations in the lower back for corners.

 

I only thought about this afterwards but I sit on a cushion over the HF8 and needed to balance the vibrations together with those of my steering wheel and my motion rig.. That's why they are so low. It can quickly get too much if I turn everything up.. YMMV

 

Is HF8 worth of 250eur ?

Had two Buttkicker Gamer 2 with my ex-rig, those were okay until installed motion and there was enough effect for rumble etc.

Sold whole rig and now I play at living room couch.
I have DD-base and windsim but some extra immersion would be welcome.

 

AMS2 can be a bit chatty when it comes to wheel slip, with some car/track combos giving constant feedback. This plugin works well to just restrict it to the times you want to feel it.

GitHub - viper4gh/SimHub-Plugin-CalcLngWheelSlip: Plugin for SimHub. It calculates longitudinal wheel slip by the relationship between Tyre RPS and Car Speed and provides the result as new properties.

Here's an example formula for the front left tyre:

Code:

if($prop('ViperDataPlugin.CalcLngWheelSlip.Computed.LngWheelSlip_FL') > 0)
    return $prop('ViperDataPlugin.CalcLngWheelSlip.Computed.LngWheelSlip_FL') * 100
