I use a Jetseat force-feedback seat. All FF works well with the Gazelle (rotor vibration, guns, missiles, g-effect etc.) except one thing; when I land there is no 'judder' through the seat. All other DCS helos have this, and it's a good thing to have, as you get some feedback when your skids touch the ground. I have approched Polychop regarding the issue, but they are saying that the problem probably lies within the SSA interface. Any chance you could take a look please?

What "judder" do you mean?

[Hiob]

The way it is phrased, I can only think of ground rumble….. but I‘m also curious now. 

[01G8R]

From seeing this on PC Discord I think he is referring to the touchdown bump when the gear or skids hit the ground.

Hi guys, just in process of building a new pc, quick question.   Does this still require a 2nd dedicated sound card for the jetseat?

Thinking of mounting my GPU vertical in the new build, and obviously that will block any other ports including the space for the sound card. 
 

So if I can get away without needing it then that would be great.   Nothing is ever plugged into the back on the the thing anyway as jetseat uses USB, so I’ve never been sure if the program has been using it or not anyway.

Hi,
JetSeat never requires the 2nd dedicated sound card.

[Baldrick33]

I don’t believe there is a need for another sound card as the Jetseat uses USB. The only times you need a second card is for using the sound module for additional shakers or for (optional) additional filtering using the sound for vibration in games that don’t have direct support for the Jetseat.

Ahhhh damn, been doing it wrong all these years.    I’ve always added a 2nd sound card to my builds for it.

 

on bright side I can take it out this time for a better looking case, Thankyou

Sorry for the delay in responding, I just got back from vacation.

The 'judder' that I am talking about is when the skids touch the ground when landing, similar to when the wheels touch the ground in fixed-wing aircraft. All other aircraft seem to do this, except the Gazelle. I have tried all Gaz variants and none seem to do it.

In the SSA control panel, the effect is called 'Touchdown'

I am using the latest  Beta of SSA. All other vibration effects seem to work OK.

Thankyou.

I could not get "Touchdown" to work either.  You don't notice it missing if you are moving horizontally as ground rumble kicks in.  If you fly in a helicopter, landing vertically, or if you turn off the other feedback options except "Touchdown" in a fixed wing then you notice it missing.  Others I fly with have the same experience.

[Joebejammin]

I get a problem when flying now where when I pull too like over 5/6G in the Mirage F1 the lower rumble packs rumble at full speed until I turn the seat off? The issue will happen consistently every time I pull more Gs or fire the cannons until I repair the DCS file.

@f4l0If there is anything we can do to mitigate this, please let me know. 

Yeah, the touchdown effect is a bit "tricky" for the Gazelle since she has no compressing struts... Can you provide me a single short trackfile that I can use to test on my side? I've currently no flight gear on my side and flying the Gazelle with keyboard is really tricky

I use an HF8, only using SSA software.

Very big thank you to Andre for helping me out recently with a problem concerning my JetPad and SimShaker.  

Andre and f4IO are super helpful and I highly recommend them to anyone thinking of getting a JetPad and or SimShaker.  Tech support for customers is brilliant.     

Happy landings,

Talisman

On SSA beta 2.7.4 , after mission ends, I'm getting spammed by this message: 
"Error: UDP port 29375 is blocked by another application"

If I kill and restart SSA, it works until I exit the mission (any mission, any plane again)

Tested with AV & firewall disabled and same thing happens.

Ideas?

null

[abikns]

I have the same problem, since I installed 2.7.4 today. I think the change log said "fixed UDP port error" (or similar). I never had that error before, but now I have it. Going back to the previous version for now.

[modsat]

Hi folks

I recently got a buttkicker and I'm looking to integrate it. From reading the forums I gather, that what I need to do (for the best experience) is use SSA + the sound module. The Simshaker.com site seems to be down however, so I'm not sure how to get the sound module. Any ideas?

I was running beta 2.40 but I moved to stable and it launches the sound module.

I still get the error is SSA beta.

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Please email me the settings file "\Documents\SimShaker for Aviators\Soundmodule.cfg"

I will try to reproduce the issue in my end.
