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!

Please find attached a set of customized samples for your task #2.
How it works:
The samples will push all the effects except the listed below into channel 3,  leaving channels 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 empty.
Samples engaged in the Afterburner, engine rumble, G feeling, high speed shudders, Buffet/Stall, and turbulence effects will feed channel 1 for the left side and channel 2 for the right side,  leaving channels 3, 4, 5, 6 empty.
Test sample test.wav feeds channels 1, 2, 3.
I assume your sound card supports 5.1 mode and you will use 3 shakers in total.

How to use:
Unzip all the .wav files into the Documents\SimShaker Sound Module samples\Customized\6 subfolder. 
In the SimShaker Sound Module settings select Bass-shaker number 3-6(5.1 pattern)
Hopefully this helps.

So far so good were on the right track. The effects were inverted initially so i just switched the cables and now they're in the right shakers, engine on bass shakers, everything else, buttkicker. The only problem left is that the volumes are very low. Still trying to figure that on out. So far, its all good. Engine is constantly on and doesnt overlap with other effect thereby diminishing the feeling of said effect.

Would be nice if there was a Gui to assign specific effects to specific channels in the future for those peeps who use stereo+.

Im afraid to use "enable booster" coz things might correct themselves and blow my shakers/buttkicker.

Yes, I used the GUI to make the samples for you. I'm working on it.

Use it with caution of course.

With a few hours of tweaking I figured out good volumes for the effects without having to resort to "enable booster".

Found an issue tho. Canopy doors, launchbar, and wing unfold doesnt seem to be working or no effect felt, no matter what volumes I set.

And that is cool that we'll be able to assign effects eventually, thank you so much for working on it.

This maybe caused something else and not Sound module itself. I'd recommend to test these effects at the Sound Module "Test The Module" tab. You can also check if the effect is triggered in the SimShaker for Aviators Effects Monitor window.

You were able to do it from the very first version of SimShaker Sound Module. Customization has been welcomed all the way we've walked through.  But it takes some effort and brain work.
I'm just trying to make this job easier.

So far in my tests, I think this is playing on channels 1 and 2. Would be nice to have it on channel 3. That's for Wings unfold, Canopy open/close, and launchbar

Not sure which sample is engaged for the  launchbar in SSA but Wings unfold, Canopy open/close samples are definitely on channel 3 in my set.

Edit: I can see that Nose Landing Gear sample is used for  for the launchbar and I've checked it's on channel 3 as well.

Hello,

What's your hardware? JetSeat/JetPad/HF8 or bass-shakers?

Select it in the SimShaker for Aviators setting on the 3r tab then
and don't touch UWVeditor, it's for Gametrix based seats.

Ok sorry !! I was dumb ! The settings page opened on my 2nd screen and I didn't payed attention to it :'-D

Thx for your really quick & lightning fast answer !!

[MirabelleBenou]

Everything is really working fine ! The only thing (I think I read something on that) is that I have a single vibration for gun firing effect with the A-10C (didn't tried with other planes yet).

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

 

 Hello Andre,
thank you very much for the response. The DCS debug window shows nothing. Completely empty.

Does it matter if the target of the DCS Export Folder is the Stable Version, but only the Beta version is installed?

He writes the export.lua /simshaker.lua file at the same time to both folders, the stable and the beta ones.

best regards

Hello !

I had a small problem currently. When using the gun in the A-10C II (With HF8 pad), I have a quick small vibration in the back, but the lowest motors run then continuously without any pause. I then need to stop the HF8 pad, and restart it, to stop the vibration.

Anyone aware of that and of any solution ?

Thanks !

Hello Bex,

Hello Bex,

An error in my train of thought. It's also unrelated to the topic. So, back to your question. There's nothing visible in the Debug viewer. The window shows no activity. Do you have any idea where I could look to find the error? thank you.

Usually the DCS Export Repair button at the SimShaker for Aviators "Settings" tab helps in a case like this.

Just to know if anyone got this issue also ?

I know that someone had it and solved it by deactivate the damage/failure checkbox, but that did not make the trick for me.

How can I do some sort of troubleshoot to try to find what js the cause ?

Thanks.

Hi Andre,

I've been using your soundcard addon now for a couple of years and overall it's been great, thank you.

When I use alt+tab and DCS is no longer in focus, it sounds like the .wav samples no longer loop at a zero crossing and start to produce a loud clicking sound where a loop point would occur. Closing the simshaker software (which also closes your addon) and restarting them cures it until the next time I alt+tab. It affects all aircraft.

These symptoms have been present since purchasing your software. I haven't seen any other reports about it and I wonder if I'm the only one experiencing it?

Hi Dogmanbird,

Thank you for the feedback.
Never heard about such an issue. Not sure I can reproduce this in my end.

Is there a notification for each new update? I was using 2.6.9 beta and checked manually for 2.6.10.

I also noticed the latest stable is 2.7.0 which seems latest than beta. Which one is the latest?

Tricky to say, because many variables involved. I have a Jetseat and 2 shakers by the rudder pedal plate. Anyway here you are, my config for those aircraft. Take it as a baseline.
