[FIXED] WinWing F-16EX Viberation Default not Working

[Raviar]

Hi all,
I would appreciate it if someone could help. I am using the default mode, and I have tested the vibration feature, which has been working in the test page of Grip since day 1. However, I don't understand why I can't use it in Viper in DCS!

and Yes, I read the maual https://winwingsim.com/static/assets/files/en/SIMAPP Pro 1.9.11-User Manual EN V1.2.pdf

here is the content of Export.lua in C:\Users\<MyUser>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts

 

local wwtlfs=require('lfs')
dofile(wwtlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/wwt/wwtExport.lua')

I created isssue on winwing support, they didnt help, they just simply mentioned if the test page can viberate the stick its not HW problem,  And closed ticket !

Great duport!

I wonder if this is due to simapppro or DCS MT, or mods like srs ... Which I am using in export.lua.

Order matters in the export.lua (or at least has possibility to cause issues in some cases). Try this order with whichever programs you have:

Tacview

SimAppPro

SRS

IIRC the most important is to have SimAppPro before SRS.

Thanks for the suggestion, I removed all others from export.lua before and still didnt work, I am using MT version of DCS. I will git  it a try with your suggestion and will update.
Thanks

I disabled AV/FireWall and left only single line:
 

local wwtlfs=require('lfs'); dofile(wwtlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/wwt/wwtExport.lua')

but didnt work!
and I do launch the SimappPro as Administartor!

[Raviar]

Uninstalled and Re-Imstalled it for only my user, didnt work! intresting part is that the Light is Sync and it is working but not the Viberation

Hi @zeufman,

I just received my F-16EX throttle and cant get the vibration working. Is there any chance your can explain you fix a bit more please? I think I might be having a similar problem.

The instructions aren't all that clear how to set it up and would appreciate any help I can get.

I had to remove & reinstall SimApp three times to get the vibrations working.  I was playing with all the settings every time, so it's possible I only got the settings correct on the third try.

As Zeufman mentioned, launch SimApp, then hit the cogwheel in the upper right next to the logout button.  You want to make sure you have the correct version of DCS selected, with the correct folders set.  Can't tell you which to select, since it'll depend on your setup.  Here's mine, but I have DCS OpenBeta installed by itself on a separate drive:

Hi @Scofflaw, thank you, I think I have it set up correctly, my main issue is that I dont have the device recognised in the Dynamic Vibration Motor screen, is this related? (I have an Orion 2 base with an F-16EX throttle grip. I use a TM Cougar Control stick)

See below:

I was also curious to know if having selected the non-multithread DCS game Icon has an impact? (I run multithread but clicked the wrong button on setup, now I cant change that. When I un-install simapp pro and reinstall it returns with the same configuration). Is there a way to change your game and hardwear setup, like a file directory I can clear to have a fresh restart?

[zeufman]

you cannot have vibration with a no WW stick.
the vibration motor is in the stick, so with a cougar, it couldn't work

it works same with non MT and MT

if someone look for vibration profile for most of module, check mine with "philippe hubert " label.
i think they are good ( for me )

I managed to fix the issue by:

1. uninstalling the SimApp.
2. restarting the Windows
3. installing the SimApp application under my user ONLY and not for Everyone
4. restaring the Windows

The throttle has not any vibration.
The vibration is in the joystick base

SimApp recognize all my module, in the Dynamic vibration Motor, expect for the Mosquito
