Rather unsurprisingly, Simshaker isn't working with the new Multi-threading.  I assume that it's as simple as ED introducing an additional BIN folder for the MT exe to run from.

Is that something that we could real with by an edit to any of the files for Simshaker, such that it looks at the correct folder, or will there need to be an update to the Simshaker installer and exe?

Mine seems to work

Hey guys, ever so often my jetseat will shut off and say "Connection to tcp server closed" and I have to turn it off by the controller and back on again in order for it to work. Any ideas why this is happening? It's been happening since before the MT patch.

I'm afraid this can't be a JetSeat message.

It appeared in the log after it stopped working. Next time it happens I will screenshot it.

Mine didn't work. Though after renaming my Saved Games\DCS.openbeta folder and doing a slow repair (to see if I got any better performance with MT) it now does!

Ah, massive false alarm.

I’d accidentally pulled the power lead out.

in short “user error”

The VRS effect on Apache doesn't seem to do anything. I tried disabling all other effects and flying the Apache into VRS every way imaginable but didn't get any output. Other effects appear to work. Does anyone else have this problem / is this a known issue / am I missing something?

[slipstream21]

Hi. Is the UH-60L mod supported by SSFA do we know? I can’t seem to get it working on the generic helicopter settings. Thanks in advance.

G- Force effect is not disengaging sometimes. Not plane specific and I have not been able to discern a pattern. Loading the plane to a tad above the setting and unloading it, stops the stuck effect. The actual thresholds of the effect do not seem to matter either.
 

 

Does anybody else has the G effect stuck issue?

I've been working with f410 in trying to reproduce on demand the issue, so he is able to troubleshot, but I've been unsuccessful so far

Hi Guys, I wonder if you can help me out here.  I have Version 2.6 installed and all working good, even in the new MT beta.  However, I want to make some adjustment but I cannot find how to access the User Interface.  Just cannow find anything.....

All help would be appreciated.

After starting sim shaker for aviators, do you see an icon in the task bar? Right click and there are options there.

When this happens I have to completely shut down SimShaker and restart or it won't work. Any ideas?

Thanks Unlikley_spider.....................

That sort of worked - There is an icon in my taskbar, but that only gave me 3 useless options (pin to taskbar etc).  However when I used the arrow to show hidden icons it was there and had an option to open settings..........and it worked.  Not sure why not in the taskbar ...but has solved the problem

Thanks for your help

They are different types of icons.

I have question about simshaker.

If I have the motherboard sound connected to an amplifier/buttkicker, and a secondary sound card connected to another audio amplifier/tactile transducer,

Is it possible to have simshaker sound module send some effects to the motherboard sound, and other effects to the second sound card?

As an example, I like the turbulence to go the second sound card, and all other effects to go to the motherboard sound.

No, in the current implementation of the SimShaker Sound Module it's not possible. Only one sound card with up to 6 audio channels is supported.

Ok, how about Is it possible to send one effect to one of the channels and the rest to other channels?

Example turbulence to only the front right speaker, and other effects to other channels

Basically that's possible. It's not hard to edit the correcpondent sample in a sound editor as Audacity for example. You can keep the waveform only in the channel(s) where you need it.
But... as far as I'm concered the tubulence uses the very same sample as the ground bumps and the belly landing effects. Is it fine with you that those effects will change as well?
If not, I'm afraid  some changes inside SimShaker for Aviators and SimShaker Sound Module code are needed.

@=Andre= is this the better thread to ask (than the old "discussion thread"?) 
 

 Excited to dive into this too - 

I am currently building with 2 shakers (Reckhorn A2.1 & 2xBS200)  and one HF8 pad in mind. 

Quick question - I'd like to use the two shakers in"front" underneath my Cockpit platform and one on the chair. 
I figure the Stereo Setup is the way to go ? Will I need to edit anything so that the software doesnt think "left /right" but "Front/Back" ? 


Also in the test / Demo mode I had a constant rumble/shake while flying - which made other effects not noticable. I assume this was due to settings error that the shaker only read the audio rather than the telemetry thats activated by SimShaker software ? 

Just need my activation now and really test it

Ok np. I have no problem looking into editing audio files

Why there are no hit effects on warbirds?

Is there a way to make them work? apart from this all works perfect, but hit effects are needed.

Hello guys,

I'm trying to update SS sound module and every time I launch the installer I get this message error. I tried different things like running as admin but was unsucessful so far. Any idea ?

it says: Error 1001. Impossible to get the program installer in the assembly C:\programfilesxxxxx

SimShakerSoundModule.exe impossible to load one or more required types.

 

Thanks for the help !

Please uninstall the previous version first.

the bass shakers and SSM work really well. Now I am trying to get the Next Level HF8 to work with the software.

 

it works with the normal software the NLR provides, vibrating correctly across all motors, but in the SSA from @=Andre= it always shows as „not connected“ or found when using „forcefeel“ option.  It doesn’t matter wether it’s AUX or USB mode, With bass shaker and pad I have selected „2shakers“ as option.
im on the beta version of software ; does the pad need any other settings or software running to be found by SSA ? 

It even works with the REALTUS FORCE FEEL software ( see 2nd pic) 

null
the pad works and vibrates - the software doesnt find it ?

If you're running the NLR software at the same time that may be why as often an app will take complete control of a device. Also I'm pretty sure I had the USB box ticked for forcefeel
