Will it work with my sim racing or flight setup?
Yes — the HF8 Pro is universally compatible with all major sim racing and flight cockpits, as well as gaming chairs and office chairs. If your seat has a cushion, the HF8 Pro fits.
Do I need SimHub for it to work?
No — the HF8 Pro includes Next Level Racing’s HFS software. However, SimHub provides advanced tuning and is preferred by serious sim racers and pilots.
What effects can the HF8 Pro simulate?
- RPM / Engine vibration - Gear shifts - ABS pulsing - Tire slip & curb strikes - Road texture - Turbulence / runway rumble - Stall warnings - Heave / sway / buffeting All 8 motors can be independently tuned.
Does it make noise?
The HF8 Pro is nearly silent. Unlike transducers, the haptic motors do not vibrate the floor or disturb neighbors.
Can console players use the HF8 Pro?
