I remember this and wanted to try it on my Warthog. http://dangerdogz.com/forums/topic/7464-give-your-x52-some-feeling/
So I bought a cheap rumble pad as the Saitek wouldnt work on Win 10. I checked it would shake using 1946 and ripped the guts out of it, mounted the board in a plastic box and used the Saitek rumbler as the game pad was a bit light weight. Last night on coops I was pleased to feel the shake as I approached stall and also felt the effect from flaps and u/c hanging in the airsteam. Well worth doing.
