SimShaker for DCS World Sound Mode Expansion - Discussion

Hi again Andre and f410: I've been away from the pit for awhile so I didn't get a chance to thank you Andre for the SS Sound Module replacement key. Thanks again. Now, I've got another problem (I reported earlier in a previous post) I hope you guys can help fix. The only way I can run my JetSeat is when I press the Repair DCS radio button. At that point my F18 Helios profile (instruments) stops working. I don't have a clue on what's happening. Your help would be appreciated.

Hi mikemadmax20,

I'm afraid this thread is not a proper one to discuss Helios and SSA script conflicts. SimShaker Sound Module operates on a different level.

Hi Andre: Again, thanks for your prompt reply as always. However, my inquiry wasn't about SS Sound Module but, rather a suspected conflict with my 908 Jet Seat/SSA and Helios export.lua. To be quite frank, I haven't activated my SS Sound Module as of yet. I apologize for being a pain but, I can't seem to get my 908 Jet Seat working without (as I mentioned above) pressing the Repair DCS button and then Helios stops functioning. If this is not the correct forum to search for possible fix, would you kindly point me in the right direction. Also interested in pre-ordering your FSE pad - let me know how I can make that happen. As always thanks for your continued support.

Best regards,

Mike

Mike,

I suggest you could try in SimShaker for Aviators by f4l0 thread and may be some Helios support thread.

Regarding SimShaker Sound Module activation let's continue our email discussion.

Andre:

Will check w/ f410 and look for helios support as well. I'll also be in touch regarding my SS Sound Module activation. Take care and chat soon. Thanks again for your guidance.

Hello,

New user here ;-)

I have butkicker gamer 2, with SSA and sound module (licensed). The SSA sound output is throught a sound blaster audigy only for this.

All the test sounds work, but in DCS sounds like guns, APU or engines start don't work. Other sounds like bumps, missiles launch, or in flight shake works.

The only strange in my setup is that in the manual say max channels=1 (mono) if only one transductor (my case), but with this option nothing works, and i have to select 2(stereo).

Can be related?

Thanks.

Hello gonvise,

I suggest your sound card may not support mono mode. In stereo mode at least one engine (left or right one) should work with your one shaker. I think you can try those samples (guns, APU or engines start) in test section of SimShaker Sound Module GUI.

Ok, I solved the gun with faqs, I was unlimited ammo enabled in DCS. Now works.

I was testing APU rumble with F18, and seems it has not APU effect.

Then are you saying that I am losing effects with stereo mode? Is valid if I join the two channels with stereo to mono adapter?

And a last thing... the canopy close effect in F14 is sensational and very inmersive; but in F18 is very subtle and desynchronized, when canopy is closed, the effect continue a little more.

Thanks.

May be, I think that mostly depends on the adapter.

Hello... is posible to have generic sounds in a module not implemented in Sound Module like I.16?

Thanks.

Hello.

I'm afraid I don't understand you.

Hello.

I'm afraid I don't understand you.

Sorry.

I have a buttkicker, SimShaker with sound module, and it works with the most of the modules of DCS (F18,F14, ...). But it doesn't work with I16 recent module (no vibrations). The I16 not shown in the sim shaker modules list. I think you have not implemented, but is posible to have generic vibrations?

Thanks.

That mostly depends on SimShaker for Aviators by f4l0, not SimShaker Sound Module

Please discuss it here https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=175028&goto=newpost

Ok, thanks.

How can I go about making an effect of a catapult launch? Basically, I am going to build a punch that will punch the back of my seat at the start of the launch. The same punch will fire at an ejection. I don't know how to add or adjust the files. Is there a tutorial or something?

Talking about adjust the files there is SimShaker Sound Module User Guide https://dreamsimteam.blogspot.ru/p/simshaker-sound-module-user-guide.html

So I see how to adjust the effect that is sent to the transducers by finding the necessary file and tweaking it. So how do you make a new effect or break out part of an effect? This punch I talk about is just a single punch in the back. The current catapult effect will also be happening through the current set of transducers. Essentially, the Jetseat and the bass shakers will operate normally. This new transducer is a single powerful punch in the back for ejection and cat launches.

Thanks, Pal!! Enjoy your trip!! Thanks for the A!+++ customer service to! Dan

Thank you Dan, I'm already back home :)

The effects are made inside SimShaker for Aviators by f4l0, if he is able to get enough data from DCS. In this context SimShaker Sound Module mainly allows you just to adjust existing samples. New samples first of all must be supported in SSA.

F-16 not listed

I see in the change log that the F-16 was added but I don't see it in the drop down list?

I do have 1.3.8.0 installed. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Have you tried to press reload button during the simulation?

That worked! Thank you and thanks so much for SimShaker!

Another (free) method of mixing game sound with SimShaker output going to bass shakers. i.e. a less CPU-burdening (and less customizable) alternative to VoiceMeeter. Assumes you have Realtek audio (includes Stereo Mix):

1) Windows Recording devices > Stereo Mix > Listen > Playback thru *your shaker card here*

2) Check "Listen to this device"

3) Adjust relative volume ratio under "Levels"

4) Further adjust volume of each card as desired in Windows.

5) Adjust your external hardware sound control if so equipped (you can reduce external hardware volume control setting while increasing Windows volume setting in order to boost shaker input for a given sound level).

NOTE: You may also need to temporarily disable Realtek High Definition Audio under Sound Video and Game Controllers within Device Manager in order to get the secondary sound card (shaker) to work. I am not certain that was actually my problem but I did that. My primary sound is an integrated Realtek "5.1 Analog Speakers", and the secondary (shaker) is an external "Analog USB Sound Card" (Vantec USB External 7.1 Audio Adapter - plugged into a 2.1 amp). This card has a software mixer app which is handy.

Here are the Windows setup screenshots as requested by =Andre=:

Thank you for sharing that!

Maybe you could add some screenshots?

Windows 10 interface is a mess.

Hi Andre,

Will do. Firstly, I have a small bug report for you:

Verbose Logging being enabled caused my Sound Module Demo to crash, freeze, or output random noise to my shaker. I had zero problems for about 5 hours prior to turning it on, and then struggled to figure out why I started having those issues. Re-installed, etc. Anyway, it works fine again with it turned off again now.

OK, I updated my previous post above with the setup screenshots.

Also, I use a Rift for VR, but prefer NOT to use the Rift headphones (they are removed). Instead I use my existing external 5.1 speaker system for sound. Personal preference and also for convenience when not using VR.

This clarification is for anyone wondering why I have 2 sound cards plus a Rift, when I could have just used the Rift headphones and converted my integrated sound card to shaker duty.
