HF8 Haptic Feedback Seat Pad | Enter the NEXT LEVEL of immersion for Microsoft Flight Simulator!

Better than a ButtKicker? The new ''feel it'' haptic seat pad from Australian based NextLevel Racing is now out and available. Full review and set up guide, plus I take it for a test in VR in Just Flights wonderful Piper Arrow III. Great for both VR & 2D pilots.

Hi all NLR have confirmed to me SU12 changed the way some of the telemetry data is used. Some may be having connection problems. A new beta is under test right now to correct these problems I was informed yesterday. Can’t get the software running?
Problems connecting. Try this..
1. Inside the HFS homepage, uncheck the "show installed" box
2. Navigate to the HFS Software settings and turn off "automatically detect current game”.
3. Close the HFS Software completely (including from the icon tray down the bottom right-hand side of the taskbar)
4. Start MSFS2020 and get into a flight using a default MSFS2020 aircraft
5. Once you are on the tarmac, start the HFS software from scratch and click on the MSFS2020 profile.

This sensory add on, which falls into the budget category, is great for both VR and 2D pilots. Pleasantly surprised and the HF8 will be a regular part of my flights in the future.

I’ve bought this within the first five minutes of watching your video I think your enthusiasm in the video done it for me

[manic_miner]

I've never seen you laugh so much Mark. How wonderful to see you having so much fun and you've convinced me to get one too. Thank you.

The aspect of sounds and touch slowly surface up a bit more adding to the immersion. Brilliant video! Gonna get this soon.

Thanks for all the hard work you put into this channel Mark. Like others - I placed an order for the HF8 largely based on your review. So far its performing quite well. It will be interesting to see how the software develops to get the most out of the hardware. Simshaker could be another option if I manage to get it going. Cheers

Thanks again Mark! I’d love to hear you about this seat with a F-18 or airliner.

Sorry for the late reply, anyway thanks for all you`ve done. Yes the HF8 is like giving a Cat a bath :)) The Support back in Queensland is outstanding. I`ll wait until it matures a bit. All the best! Stef

Thanks for the video and fun reactions! Will wait for your XBOX video before ordering

[brettmcallister]

I just received mine yesterday and am still “setting up”. So far so good. Their software is limited a little and I have looked at Simshaker software for extra fine tuning… perhaps you could do a tutorial video on how to setup in MSFS…? Love your videos and you have made my Flightsim experiences so much better with Alpha, Bravo and VR etc etc tutorials. Thank you.

Appears this is a must have with VR! Tks Mark. I enjoyed watching with your reactions! 😂 😂

[sascenturion]

Excellent stuff! ..looked fun and immersive, good to see you enjoyed it 😀
Thanks for the review

Hi Mark, great report. I went ahead and bought this product ($226 in the US). It is indeed a big immersion add-on. After a while you start recognizing little subtle differences. Like when the plane is working harder in an ascend, or under stress. I'm also trying to nuance using the different motors at different intensities for specific effects, to get even more feel out of it. Here is one thing I would challenge NextLevel Racing with: Different feeling for type of ground to taxi on (asphalt, grass, dirt).

[ArieGBoom]

Thanks Mark, an excellent video and explanation/demonstration of a new feature bringing immersion to a another level. This one will definitely be on my bucket list!

[DS-bjbr]

I really liked your review. Based on what you had to what I saw in others, I decided to by this one. THAKS VERRY MUCH& Keep them coming.

Great video SimHanger! Couldn’t help laughing at your opening scene, all that chair needs is some wings :) great review.

[nathanwildthorn]

Thank you, Mark, for this fun and enlightening review. I'm sold! I'll be purchasing my HF-8 _today_.

[paulweston]

This chair pad is very tempting to get. I like the way it looks as well. I wouldn't attach the control to my armrest as that is where I rest my arm but otherwise looks good.

[davidmuir]

Fantastic review thanks for sharing .
I made my own from a jet pad with electric motors, I added airbladders inside the seat pad
