While this is still in the clarification stage, we expect to receive official confirmation within the next 72 hours.

Thank you all for your patience and support as we move forward!

Three cheers!

Hip, hip, hurray!

[Slippa]

That is good news. 

[Panzerlang]

Is it safe now to update the apps?

[NAM]

New updates..

Simhaptic 2.0.81 and DCrealistic 1.0.41 working good so far.

PointCTRL soon be banned too? Or the Slugmouse?

It's highly unlikely. Slugmouse is a pure mouse button emulator. It is entirely an independent device, and there is no integration with DCS. As far as DCS is concerned, it doesn't even know it is present.

The matter has already been settled. It was a communication problem between ED rKApps.
Fortunately, everything turned out well

hello, what is the link or difference between DCRealistic and Simhaptic?
or do you need both?
THANKS FOR THE HELP

DCRealistic adds additinal sound effects and some camera shaking effects. Simhaptic adds haptic effects for bass-shaker kind devices. They are made by the same company - other than that they are independent. You can use either one or both, depending on what you want to achieve.

Thank you for your quick response Ms Hiob
how do we feel or by what means do we feel the haptic effect
in DCS?

Haptic effect requires transducers or a vibrating seat pad (transducers recommended). This like Buttkickers, Dayton BST-1's for transducers, and Next Level Racing HF8 or U-Shake 6 for seatpads. The effects will be tied to telemetry of the aircraft, so for instance on a helicopter, you will feel the rotors spin as the helo spools up, then when in the air you can feel turbulence, engine rpm, ETL, VRS, touchdown, payload release and damage. This creates an extreme immersive experience. In real helos for normal flight, you don't feel much motion, but you feel vibrations and shudders, this can be replicated nearly 1/1 with proper haptics. Personally, I have multiple transducers and spent much time adjusting settings to have a near perfect experience. Simhaptic converts all the vibrations into aviation style haptics from the games engine and speaks to your setup. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend investing into a haptics setup. I use multiple BST-1's with a HF8 seat pad, I use Simhaptic for the transducers on my cyclic, collective, pedals, and SSA (Sim Shaker for Aviators) for my HF8 seat pad, they vibrate different things, so I feel separate feedback. For example, Simhaptic will vibrate my blade slap and engine vibration but SSA will give me ETL shudders when coming for a landing, so I'll feel like the airframe is shaking under me while my seat is feeling an alternate shake as it feels like it's absorbing the airframe vibrations. I have tried various methods, and this is my personal favorite. 

This here will give you a base understanding on what you can do with them.

Thank you TFS for the time you took to explain to me technically how the software works and also for the video that made me want to delve deeper into the system and why not come to it like you.
I wish you good flights

I JUST got the SimShaker for Aviators freeware working with USB on my Next Level Racing HF8 gaming seat pad. It only seems to recognize 6 of the 8 haptic units but the generic helo/jet/piston effects are cool. But, given the immense level of configuration available, is there a repository of module specific effects that can be imported and used? Or do you need to buy the DCRealistic package. It's a reasonable price but it's not clear if that supports the haptics with specialized effects or focuses solely on extra sound/graphical experiences.

Also, it's not clear what modules are directly supported. After flying the A-10 a new config appeared but not the UH-1D.

Sorry, I just got this working and did a preliminary search across the net and didn't come up with answers. Thanks for your time.

For your module to appear on SSA, you need to use them once with SSA active.

Dear Rk,

i think I found 2 bugs with the WWII pistons.

1. As soon as the batteries are activated in starting procedures start simhaptics directly motor vibrations! Still the engine is not running!!

2. Although the fire button is secured/covered, Dcreareastic simulates the shaking the cockpit when the fire button is still pressed!

I don't know if it is only with me, but I don't think so.
