Talking about SimShaker for Aviators, yes, I'd recommend you to install the latest beta. Stable version had a bug with logging.

Is there any official page/thread for this mod?

Please make it compatible. It is a must have mod.

Hmm... I put the archive content into the Saved Games\DCS\Mods\aircraft folder with OVGME but can't see the mods appeared in DCS OB aircraft list.

Looks like something went wrong.

Any help from seasoned mods users would be appreciated.

@=Andre= Hi Andre, Simshaker sound module stopped working.I use an external sound card (Roccat) and have it selected.

It has been working without problems for the past year, but after a PC restart I played a random video and the Buttkickers. started to shake.

I went to the Mixer setup and found that Simshaker was at default.

I changed it to Roccat and have no effects any more.

Which option should I select for output device in the volume mixer?

Mostly it's not about Volume Mixer settings.
If you hit Play button at the Test the Module tab, does it work?

No it wont work.

I uninstalled Simshaker Sound module. and all the folders deleted, just emailed you because I need you to send me a new key to activate it.

The screenshot looks good. Please check your shaker wiring.

Hi Andre,

Thanks for the response. I tried lowering the vibration strength and it made no difference. Continuous firing feedback works in the native HL8 pad software, so I know it is possible with this piece of hardware. It’s the only thing I can’t get working in SSA (everything else about the SSA software is incredible).

When using SSA the A10c gunfire vibrates for a moment and stops, unless you repeatedly tap the trigger (in which case you can chain together mini vibrations as a form of continuous haptic feedback - although it is not particularly immersive). 

In the native HL8 pad software the haptic feedback lasts as long as the gun trigger is pressed (as continuous feedback). I would dearly love for this to also be possible within SSA.

Hi,

I see, thank you. Is it with A-10C only?

Yes, I’ve only noticed the problem in the A-10c. Continuous gunfire feedback works in other aircraft (like the Spitfire etc).

Just reposting this here for @=Andre=/@f4l0 , query from Aerges developer (Mirage F1) regarding what variables would be needed to implement compressor stall into SimShaker for Aviators. Would be a very neat to see supported imo, having a blast with simshaker and the F1.

hi , 

i had a trouble, i start hf8 / SSA / DCS and this message appear: (and hf8 don't work under dcs but i can make motor test normally)

21:54:34.0168 System.IndexOutOfRangeException: L'index se trouve en dehors des limites du tableau.

What does it mean? i have no trouble to use HF8 with NLR software.

 

[Heli Shed]

Just bumping this - Congratulations @f4l0 - excellent piece of software and by far and away better than NLR own iteration of haptic control and also SimHub.  I've just gotten the HF8 today and SimShaker for Aviators works a charm.  Thank you.

Currently on stable.  Should I use the beta version of SSA?

Donation inbounds - thoroughly deserved.

 

Best wishes

Thank you Tyger! SimShaker for Aviators software is by @f4l0.

At this particular moment I'd recommend to use the beta version. Stable version has a little bug with logging.

After 1,5 year working flawless, my jetseat suddenly stopped working. It seems the jetseat wont connect anymore (Jetseat state not connected message). also during startup of windows I get the Bios message USB device over current status detected. I tried every USB port, same result. When I unplug the USB connector from the jetseat, windows boots without issue. Anybody could help me with this one, DCS is not the same without my jetseat so help is highly appreciated.

I think that may be a known issue.

Please try to reload the Gametrix control unit firmware as described in the User Guide https://simshaker.com/guides/jetpad

Appreciate your quick response Andre, that did the trick. It came back to life however the next boot it gave me the same problem. Now I switched to a different USB port and everything seems stable. Thank You

"Hello everyone,

I'd like to help a friend with their Simshaker software, and perhaps someone has an idea or even the solution. The SSA (SimShaker for Aviators) only displays the generic models under 'Effect Settings.' The SSA has saved its script files in the Script folder of DCS Saved Games upon startup. Purchased modules like A10CII and UH1H are installed and have been launched. However, the purchased models still do not appear in the dropdown menu, only the generic ones do.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated."

Hello,
Please check if you can see any numbers in the SimShaker for Aviators -> View -> DCS Debug window during the mission.

Hey guys so I noticed that CJs F-18E/F/G mod doesn't work with SimShaker for Aviators - I get a bunch of errors when I end DCS but it works well with F-18C. Anyone else have this issue?

Hai, It worked again for a couple of days. Now the USB overcurrent status detected message is back. It is linked to my jetseat. When I unplug the jetseat USB, Windows boots normally. I tried again reloading the firmware but no succes anymore. The crazy thing is, one out of 10 times rebooting windows the jetseat gives a green connected state and all the motors work like charm. However when i try to start DCS the jetseat disconnects again and everything is dead and black.

I lubricated all the 8 motors, all the wiring seems fine. (when it suddenly connects all motors work great). I uploaded a picture of the electronic board glued to the foam, maybe anyone can spot anything unusual. It looks like the foam is stuck to the electronic connectors .... Any Ideas are greatly appreciated.

Hello guys, I have 2 bass shakers and was hoping to designate one of them for engine effects and the other for everything else. Is there a way to do this? I also have sound module as well.

Hello,

Yes, I think it's not hard to do with SimShaker Sound Module. Which channel you'd like to dedicate to engine effects - left or right?

Hello Andre. It would be nice to have the engine effects on the left (Afterburner, engine rumble, G feeling, high speed shudders, Buffet/Stall, and turbulence). Everything else on the right.

Also, I have a spare Buttkicker and was wondering if its possible to configure it like this (left and right bass shakers = Afterburner, engine rumble, G feeling, high speed shudders, Buffet/Stall, and turbulence). (Buttkicker = everything else).

I tried the 2nd setup with SS sound module + hapticonnect but it wont play nice. It also seems to affect my VP Rhino FFB base/Telemetry.

Awesome work btw and thanks for replying.

Do I take it right that you want the G feeling, high speed shudders, Buffet/Stall, and turbulence on the left?
These are barely engine related effects.

Yes, I think this is also possible.

[L0ngbow]

Yeah, sorry if I misunderstood. I considered all those as engine effects since manipulating the throttle would produce those effects or is affected by engine. Anyway, is there a guide I can look up to do setup no.2  Bass Shakers/Buttkicker setup? I already have the sound module. Thanks again!
