[Official] SimShaker for Aviators

[RabidRider]

I was wondering which of the modules offers the best experience with simshaker? I'm looking

to add a few transducers, but I heard that the Huey for instance is not that great of a match. Nice ETL transition supposedly yes, and a touchdown effect. Are some of the fixed-wing modules better suited, supported?

 

I'm just trying to found out what one can expect in terms of immersion.

 

Thanks

Not correspond

Yes, the Fw-190 A8 SSA entry seems to be just a copy/paste from the Fw-190 Dora... but hey, at least we got something for now - so thank you f4l0. :)

 

Would be nice if the Anton gets some extra SSA details considering its radial engine...

What's the issue here?

As I already said. I don't own the bird thus I did everything "blind". It's more or less the Dora variant. I just added the other guns/cannons.

The mighty Tomcat because Heatblur provided a lot of info to SSA team.

Being the Huey the only helicopter I fly, I don´t find it lacking feedback info, for me it´s a great experience, you can pull some Gs, even negative when flying nap on earth following terrain features, or going gunship, with every gun spitting tracers.

Sounds good!

Mixed up the model of the aircraft. Look at the pictures.

Hi Again. It's been awhile. Last time I checked in was to find a way to get SSA, Andre's Jet Seat and, BlueFinBima's HELIOS to play nice. Finally got it working by repositioning the dofiles in the Users Saved Game folder. However, I auto-updated recent Beta and I'm right back where I started - No SSA/Jet Seat functionality. Tried reordering Saved Games again. No JOY!!!

 

Here's the window I got instead (see below):

 

Ooops...Something is wrong with SimShaker imput data.

What gives? This is all gobbledygook to me. Your advice, as always, is appreciated.

[mikemadmax20]

BTW. That was the last SSA auto-update you released.

Looks like an issue with the extracted RPM values... I'll have a look...

What SSA version?

 

Update: I just checked this on my side with the latest stable. It's working on my side... I've to look deeper...

So, the A is a D :D?

 

Update: Fixed in my dev version

Thanks for the quick response. As requested - SSA Version 1.3.8.0. Again, I've been out of the pit for a while. But, I'm on stay-cation for the 2 weeks and plan to devote the lion's share of it so I can finally get into flying missions. Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

Here's my Saved Games Script:

 

local SimShakerlfs=require('lfs');

dofile(SimShakerlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/SimShaker.lua')

dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[scripts\SimShaker-export-core\ExportCore.lua]])

dofile("C:\Users\mmaxw\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Simshaker-export-core")

 

dofile("C:\Users\mmaxw\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Helios")

local vaicomlfs = require('lfs');

dofile(vaicomlfs.writedir()..[[scripts\VAICOMPRO\VAICOMPRO.export.lua]])

[f4l0]

Here's my Saved Games Script:

dofile("C:\Users\mmaxw\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Simshaker-export-core")

 

 

This line can be removed...

 

you could also try to remove/rename the simshaker.lua file, SSA should create a new one...

[mr_mojo97]

So my squelch sound only works when I'm not in the cockpit ie only during the mission editor and main menu. How do I make it work all the time? It certainly used to. Everything actually works as normal other than the squelch sound which is not disabled in Preferences. Any ideas? Cheers

Tried your suggestions. No Joy. All was working fine – SSA along side HELIOS – until I auto-upgraded to your SSA Ver. 1.3.8.0 and the required Netframe update. Even after removing my simshaker.lua file and having SSA create a new one (ver. 1.3.7.5) and reconfiguring my Saved Games\Scripts folder to place SimShaker’s dofiles above the HELIOS and Vaicom dofiles – No Joy. Not certain, but I’m thinking that the NetFrame upgrade may also be an issue with SSA ver. 1.3.8.0 and HELIOS playing nice. Would love to get a fix.

All the best,

Mike

I'm going to roll back my system to a date before my 10/07/19 SSA and Netframe updates in the hope of restoring SSA & HELIOS functionality.

Really strange... I might revert back to the old .net framework...

 

I might also send you a special version with some debug output to figure out what's really wrong...

 

There's a new beat update coming soon, you might give it a try.

[Fusedspine33]

SSA asked to auto update this week. While executing Windows Defender identified it as ransomeware and prevented installation. What is causing this? Thanks.

The beta version support the F-16C?

[mikemadmax20]

Thanks much. I rolled back .NetFramework from 4.8.0 to 4.7.2. I’m also back to SSA Ver.1.3.7.5. Still no joy. And Yep, I’d appreciate your offer to send me a special version with a debug output so we can troubleshoot the problem and hopefully find a fix. BTW: Just ordered Andre’s new Jet Seat. Looking forward to receiving it. As always, thanks for your dedication and help.

And I'm up to trying anything new. Nothing beats a failure except a try.

I need help folks, since the Windows 10 update 1903, I cannot get SimShaker to properly sync with Windows sound and Odyssey Plus so that I get sound from the earphones but the shaker input from my bass shaker.

 

Here's my hardware:

-Samsung Odyssey Plus VR using WMR and Steam VR. This is connected to computer via USB 3.0

-Realtek built in sound card on the motherboard

- Desktop speakers with sub-woofer connected to motherboard sound card

-75 amp Plate Amplifier

- Bass Shaker sound puck connected to sim chair (powered by speaker wires from plate amplifier)

- USB sound card connected to powered USB hub (this is what the plate amplifier is connected to)

 

The way I've had it set up was Voicemeter Banana was set as my default sound device and I had the built in equalizer set to filter out everything but the bass frequencies that runs through the USB sound card to the bass shaker.

When I put on the VR headset, I would get normal sounds through the headphones and vibrations through the bass shaker.

 

Now, post 1903 update, I cannot figure out how to sync these devices via software settings to run correctly.

 

I have tried numerous sound source variations in the Voicemeter, Win 10, and SimShaker settings to try to get these all playing together.

 

Any help would be great.

For my setup, sometime, Windows resets the default sound output device to something else then Voicemeter, maybe that is the issue here?
