The Next Level Racing® HFS included PC software makes it seamless for users to enhance the experience with the HF8 Gaming Pad controlling each motor independently. As one of many variations, you can have 4 motors controlling the effects of tires to feel rumble strips independently or have all 8 motors giving vibration for gear changes. Localization and intensity of each motor can only be adjusted through PC use and HFS software. Console players do not require the HFS software as the eight motors will work collectively through the audio output. I have never written a review, so please let me know if you have any specific questions and I will gladly answer them and/or test out something specific for you. Firstly, I have only really gotten into Sim Racing in the past couple months, so I consider myself a rookie. I would consider myself advanced in terms of PC understanding as it relates to configuring things like SimHub, telemetry (UDP etc). I am strictly a PC user.

Quite straight forward. Physical installation is very easy as noted by other reviewers. I plugged mine in via my powered USB hub with no issues. The HF8 Gaming Pad is designed to be easily placed on your sim racing seat, flight seat, or gaming chair, and features adjustable straps to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Whether you're a serious esports competitor, casual gamer, or even just want to enhance your movies or music listening, the HF8 Gaming Pad is an excellent and affordable asset to add to your collection. In-game telemetry data* for PC games and sound output for console games, provide an immersive experience for racing, First Person Shooter (FPS), and flight. Feel it your way, for PC users. The HF8 can be adjusted based on the desired haptic experience. The HFS software uniquely controls the intensity of each haptic vibration motor within the software to ensure an unbroken immersive experience. The HF8 Gaming Pad allows you to feel and fine tune your braking, acceleration, rev limiter, speed, engine rpm, ground effect, and suspension in racing games*. The great news is that this new HF8 pad is fully console compatible. When connected to a PC via USB, the HF8 utilises all eight haptic motors individually. Whereas when connected to a console, all eight motors activate simultaneously using in-game audio effects.Please note that console players do not require the HFS software as the eight motors will work collectively through the audio output in games, music, or movies. The individual settings for each “shaker” work very well. I have no doubt that under a basic, initial setup not using SimHub or Crewchief the application would work as intended. It however is quite limited in what games are supported and the level of that support. The application itself feels like a beta that has been pressed into production. I have no doubt that there are a few programmers at NLR that are furious over this business decision to release this product without proper software. NLR is a large company and I have no doubt that in a few months the software will be updated to be "useable", but it simply is terrible right now. Feel it your way, for PC users.

The HFS software uniquely controls the intensity of each haptic vibration motor within the software to ensure an unbroken immersive experience. The HF8 Gaming Pad allows you to feel and fine-tune your braking, acceleration, rev limiter, speed, engine rpm, ground effect, and suspension in racing games. You can interact with ready to use haptic profiles or create your own for each gaming title, and even share your profile with the gaming community. List of compatible games.

Very neighbor/apartment friendly Great pass-through shaking via the Audio port. I would argue the best you can do without very complex setups.

While the HF8 may have been designed with one eye on sim racing immersion, it can also be used for other gaming categories such as FPS games and flight simulators.

Designed universally to fit all chair styles with comfort including gaming chairs, sim racing seats and flight seats The Youtube videos where they observed you could hardly feel the flaps or G forces: But I feel them fine. Because I set the HFS slider for Engine down to 30 and turned the other sliders full 100%. Then I cranked up the master volume knob (which is on the wired remote). That way I get the full effects of throttle, instead of 30% but all the others are now louder than if you just set them all to 100%. You can interact with ready-to-use haptic profiles or create your own for each gaming title, and even share your profile with the gaming community. List of compatible games. This is great news for sim racers and gamers who won’t have to wait very long to get their hands on this new bit of kit. I have been using the HF8 on both X-Plane & MSFS for a few weeks now and enjoying the extra later of realism. I personally feel the the pad has been developed around car games rather than flight sims, however I feel that NLR will put more effort into flight sims. I have made some recommendations to the dev team who will (I hope) take on board.Product dimensions: 44cm (L) X 6cm (W) X 113cm (H) or 17.3inches (L) X 2.4inches (W) X 44.5 inches (H) It's great, iborg. Flying over the ocean out of KLAX, it makes quite a thump if you're too low and suddenly skim the water with the wheels a bit. I was watching the app sliders instead of my altitude 🙂 Comfort is a mixed bag for me. I weigh in at 230lbs and can tell I’m no longer sitting in my Omega XL chair. I can feel the shakers and would say that it has reduced my comfort level of my seat. That being said, I only felt like this was an issue when I was trying to get it configured. Once working and racing… the immersion took me away and I was smiling.
