SimShaker for DCS World Sound Mode Expansion - Discussion

hi

the g-force effect (usb mode) what dos this do?

I turned it on but it did nothing -is there a mode that will work for people without the jet seat thing ?

 

I use x2 butt kickers

Hi Adrian,

g-force effect works in usb mode with JetSeats only.

hey andre. yesterday was the first time i started to work with simshaker software.

my first step is to work with the bass shaker before i connect the jetseat.

at first all audio where the subwoofer audio out was default and all audio was going to the shaker

i like the feeling that there is low rumble all the time due to audio

and sound module effects kicked in along with the defualt audio.

WOW!

it felt good until, i set all audio to be defaulted to the oculus rift headset.

now i can hear all audio in the headset, but now the bass shaker only works on the preloaded effects.

i guess 3rd party apps like voicemeeter and audio cables will allow me to have all audio sent to both the shaker and oculus rift along with sound module running to kick in the effects?

^^^

You need to get a second sound card (use different brand/manufacturer - I mean don't get 2x creative Hi-Fi or something, make sure they are different chipset, otherwise driver will work for only 1 - its issue I has with my system... I have 3 sound cards by the way, 1 for DCS, 1 for headset (Ventrilo/TS) and 1 for SimShaker)

I'm using VoiceMeeter Banana to merge 'gameaudio' with simshaker audio. Somewhere in this thread, there should be a tutorial on how to setup voicemeeter...

i found a solution to what i needed to do.

not as flexible as voicemeeter but this procedure works for me..

and kuky.. im using a UCA202 usb audio interface by behringer. working for me!

basically i needed mirrored audio to go to the oculus rift and UCA202 which is output to my shakers.

so not only i get mirrored game audio to both the rift headset and shaker, but the simshaker effects kicks in when the simshaker library effects are triggered.

Voicemeeter allows you to add EQs thus in my setup, high frequency stuff is filtered and not passed to my transducer.

i have a soundstream EQ to adjust and filter out high frequences, and my crown amp that i use to push my buttkicker LFe also has a low pass filter.

did u buy voicemeeter?

i rather not have to buy anything.

what ever im doing is simple.

i hope oculus rift will have the audio mirroring in a future update.

also, i read in forums that voicemeeter has a significant lag.

Yes I donated to them, since they are putting at least the same effort in their tool as Andre and I did for SimShaker...

You can try out VoiceMeeter Banana without charge.

The lag is ok, you can adjust the timings/delay of all speakers/channels

maybe people who have speakers on all four corners of their simpit may find voicemeeter useful.

once oculus home allows audio mirroring, i dont need voicemeeter nor steamVR. i have a simple shaker setup, one amp to one shaker

I get this error on autostart of Simshaker:

Please help, remove & re-install doesn't help...

:helpsmilie:

Hm... Looks strange.

I haven't encounter that before.

Deployment works fine at my Win 10.

Are there any specifics at your PC?

All worked till a day or two ago...

Is there anything in Win 10 the software depends on?

So I could maybe repair it...

I already repaired .net but didn't help...

Let's have a look at Simshaker.xml file from "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\SimShaker for DCSW\"

Could you please attach it here?

Andre can you please add support for the L version of the gazelle in the new open beta I get no effects from that airframe :(. Thank you !

I already implemented the L version. It's in the current SimShaker Beta release...

Weird works in all aircraft except Gazz L

Version 1.1.1.26 is correct?

It is currently only implemented in the beta version of SimShaker. Andre published the beta yesterday...

If no error/bug shows up, we will release a new stable soon

Ok I use to have beta sorry been gone awhile how do I get the beta again?

Join the SimShaker beta program on facebook...

Doesn't work for me. I posted on the beta page and haven't gotten any response.

Did you remember to close SimShaker beta and restart it?

It only updates second time you start it.

Apparently the the change log for the version I have erroneously included support for the L which it doesn't have, I'll be updating when I get home tonight.

Here goes... :)

Simshaker.zip

Here goes... :)

Works fine at my end with this file. Seems the reason isn't here.

May be I should connect over TeamViewer to your PC?
