Are updates still automatic on launch?  Just checked mine and it says version 1.3.13.0

Do I have to activate an update somehow or download new version.  Thanks.

The update system had been changed. Now one is just informed that there is a new version and prompted to download it.

You can get actual version at simshaker.com website if not prompted.

Thanks.  I don't seem to be getting a prompt, but will go and get new version.  However, does this mean that all my current settings are lost and I will need to reset them?

I don't think so. But you'd better backup the settings before you updated the version.

I don't think that's possible. But you can get back to the demo mode by temporarily renaming "\Documents\SimShaker for Aviators\Soundmodule.cfg" and re-check.

OK tested, you are right. There's no a difference.

Can't believe that I didn't try this software before. What this add to the VR is amazing.

alright i think i have a mechanical failure  only 3 vibration motors work when i test them with the SSA tool … i will have to investigate further tomorrow, cause indont have much time today, but is there a chance that this is a known problem @=Andre=?

i will measure the contacts tomorrow, but so far i cannot see anything obvious, like loose strips etc

 

I would remove power, pop the offending motor assembly apart and spray the motor with some electrical contact cleaner.
I have had a vibration motor get weak or seize up from time to time and this always gets them spinning again.

i sent the jetpad back to andre. 5 out of 8 motors are broken, its probably a problem with the control unit. very very unlikely to have 5 broken motors on the same time.

I recently started using SSA and sound module and the immersion is great. However, I noticed that the effective lift translation does not seem to work in mi-8. Especially in this heli when it gets at speed of ~50km/h you can hear the trembling but no vibes felt.

I can see the "effective transnational lift" in effect settings and whatever value I set nothing felt, is this implemented?

Hi there

I finally got my vibration seat for DCS !!

I am a little bit loss in settings and module. I installed Simshaker for aviators and sound module.

Is there any standard profile for modern jet ? F16 or F18 ? or I just use default one ?

 

Thanks a lot

Choose the module from the SSA menu and tune to your likings.
Some users uncheck all effects while flying and try each one individually.

I agree totally with @Ala12Rv-Tundra.  There are also a couple of useful YouTube videos you can view if you search on Simshaker JetPad. 

Cheers.

My jetseat stopped working today.

 

Just says jetseat not detected?

 

I have tried installing the latest version - that wont launch at all so have gone back to the previous version.

 

Also tried updating the firmware as suggested on the website - this doesn't appear to update as described either.

 

Any thoughts?

Thanks a lot, I used these settings to start and tweak.

Any interest in sound module ? hat does it brings more than DCS telemetry and usb ? thanks

Only if you plan to add shakers and/or buttkickers.

Noob question. Does this work with a Butt Kicker Gamer 2? For things like F14/16/18?

Yeah, but you'll need the Sound Module along with SimShaker. That puts out audio signal usable by whatever. I use it with 2 of the dayton audio bst-1 shakers.

Hi Folks,

Quick question if I may.  I am here:

SSA stable - OneDrive (live.com)

To update my current version, do I download the 'previous versions' dated 6 Feb and also the 13th November file, or just one of them?

Or top one first and then the bottom one, or the other way around?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I don't want to mess things up and find I have lost my current out dated version and all my custom settings.

Happy landings,

Talisman

Hi.
Download and install the latest version. And settings can be saved, and then, if necessary, downloaded.

I've got 4 Dayton Audio BST-1s just installed. Are there any recommended base adjustments to the settings/sliders for a good starting point? I've got the compressor enabled in settings since I get some pretty strong clipping from time to time without it.

I've been enjoying the added immersion from the two I initially installed, but just spent the time getting ASIO4ALL figured out and working so I could have 6.1.

In addition to the 4 BST-1s I have at the corners, I have one of the Dayton pucks, which I'm going to mount low on the joystick extension and feed only control surface related effects (stall, etc.) to I via the center channel. Also, I have an extra BST-1 set aside for a dedicated Huey door gunner controller to run off the sub channel. It looks like it should work, right? I can direct specific effects to specific channels like I see I can do in SimShaker-Wheels?

Thanks for all the help

As far as I know, it doesn´t matter what output you choose to plug your shakers into. I might be wrong, so following your question.

Sorry but that did not help answer my question.  I tried downloading the bottom file (13th Nov) on its own but that did not work  and trying to understand why the term 'previous versions' is used on the top folder; why would I need previous versions?  It is rather confusing.

Still getting no joy trying to update and having to stick with old version 1.3.13.0 for now.

Happy landings,

Anyone had issues with Simshaker module not opening? Mine opened twice, then I selected a diff soundcard; it went to restart and hasn't opened since. Now throws some .NET error when I look at the logs. Pretty frustrated, was nearly setup to start testing this now can't do anything...

I'm on Windows 11

I think the previous versions archive is handy for the case like yours. If one installed a fresh version and it didn't work and could rollback to the previous version easily.

What's the problem with the "13th Nov" version?
