Am I the only one struggling to load the website?

do you mean simshaker.com?

I think I've had this issue before, but when I change the install path to "Program Files" rather than "Program Files (x86)", it still puts the files in x86, and as a result the start menu shortcut does not work.

Which SSA version? Do you know which files?

That was 2.4.0 this time around. It concerns all files. It doesn't even create the folder in "Program Files". Specifically, I change the path from "C:\Program Files (x86)\SimShaker\SimShaker for Aviators" to "C:\Program Files\SimShaker for Aviators", and it gets placed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\SimShaker for Aviators", so it does seem to at least accept the changed value. (without the extra SimShaker folder)

Actually, I think I have the same issue with the installers for the other SimShaker products, too.

I guess some antiviral software may block normal installer operation.

I only use Microsoft Defender. Do the installers produce a log somewhere?

Never experienced such a problem with MS Defender. I think you can check regular Windows Event Log with its viewer.

Hello,

I've struggled with volume output in SimShaker for Aviators, but not in SimShaker wings for some time now.  Testing outside of the game, with test sounds, configured for a bass shaker.  In game performance has the same issue.  Wings is perfect, but I have to crank aviators up to even feel it with my hand on the transducer.  I'm afraid to go wild, in case something snaps to life suddenly one day and pops my transducer....

I have all sounds turned up to 100% per airframe in Aviator, and manually increase volume in either my sound mixer or on the amp.  Using same audio configuration on the Windows and Voicemeter side for both applications.  Both appear to be set to the same audio settings within each simshaker module as well.  Has anyone else experienced this, or have any suggestions? 

Thanks!

Hello, May I see a good quality screenshot of the SimShaker Sound Module when you play the test sound? Please provide answer in this thread SimShaker for DCS World Sound Mode Expansion - Discussion

@Kila iceman If you haven't yet tried it, find the setting "verbose logging" and make sure that it is unchecked.  I had a similar problem where an effect would get stuck and loop continuously if that setting was checked.

Thankyou

Most likely the new module is not supported so far. 

As usual Olaf depends on donations for adding support for newer modules

That's true, I need to buy the module first.

[markbam]

I got general effects working by adding the following to line 429 in this* location (You probably need to have the M-2000C for this to work). 

elseif obj.Name == "Mirage-F1CE" then dataTable.name = "M-2000C"

 

*"C:\Program Files (x86)\SimShaker\SimShaker for Aviators Beta\Data\SimShaker.lua"

 

This is only a workaround so that the Mirage doesn't feel so dead right now. It does not replicate the usual spot on work that f4l0 produces.

 

 

---

Editing with more information as I find it:

Engine rumble is missing but I found that argument 1027 returns the engine RPM. I've normalized this return to 0-100 which is what SSA appears to be looking for. However, engine rumble is still not present even though the DCS debug from SSA shows RPM@29 while idle and RPM@84 in burner.

My code for this so far is as follows:

            local Engine_RPM = string.format("%.0f", MainPanel:get_argument_value(1027)*100)
            dataTable.rpm = Engine_RPM

---

I've attempted to inject Mirage-F1CE into the C# model table to work around the need for the M-2000C, but have been unsuccessful.

I've added "MirageF1CE=46" to the Model declarations

and

"this.modelTable.Add(Model.MirageF1CE, new ModelTableEntry(Model.MirageF1CE, "Mirage-F1CE", AircraftType.Jet));"  to the SetupModelTable of the SettingsDatabase.

 

Core.MasterManager and Core.DCS.Jets houses the specific aircraft properties and the references I was looking for, but it's quite involved.

This is much more in-depth than I was expecting. The amount of work that happens behind the scenes for these effects is amazing.

SOLVED:  I used the FREE version of the REVO UNINSTALLER to completely scrub all traces of SimShaker from my computer and then re-installed. All is good now. I still wonder what broke and why?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Earlier today SSA was working fine, but now I am getting an UNHANDLED EXCEPTION error. 

I have tried uninstalling, rebooting and re-installing without success.  I am running version 2.4.0 of the stable release.   I also tried running the SSA_beta (2.3.14) but receive the same error.

Here is the DETAILS from the UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:

"System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions" is the interesting part. Looks like something is blocking the network ports SSA uses. Maybe another running SSA instance... You could try to restart the network service as admin with a windows terminal:
 

net stop hns
net start hns

That's correct, if it's supported, SSA creator will let us know by uploading a new beta version

I have a quick question. I was under the impression that Simshaker for Aviators was driven by telemetry from DCS for different aircraft. I based this upon discussions had around efforts to get it working with the Apache module when it was released. Someone else recently told me that it's driven by sound cues in the game and not telemetry. Which one is true?

 

Thanks in advance!

Bascially, SimShaker software has nothing to do with the games sound, except a small feature in the SimShaker Wings.
