SimShaker for DCS World Sound Mode Expansion - Discussion


Recommended Posts

Hi Andrey:

I am getting a Warning on DCS startup:

 

"Warning SimShaker couldn't find a file at c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\DCS World. Some effects may not work etc. blah"

 

I am not using DCS via Steam and this is not the path were SimShaker should look for the DCS installation.

 

Any idea how to fix this? Maybe some code change, or some obsolete registry key to be deleted on my end.

Yes, if you know how to edit your registry, please check (and change if necessary) the DCS keys in your registry if all paths are valid...

Hi guys, I find I have to manually load SimShaker each time I start DCS despite having checked the launch at DCS start button. Any thoughts on how to remedy this? Thanks Jason

Hi Manuel,

please check in regedit that HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam\Apps\223750", "Installed" is not equal to "1"

SimShaker should start its Main form and appropriate modules automatically when you start DCS. Just start SimShaker by shortcut and don't touch it.

No special recommendations. Try any card you've got. In demo mode you have a couple of effects working to try your hardware out.

 

thanks for reply.

may i ask, if a sound card is necessary if i am going to use a amp/bass shaker along with jetseat?

 

i see good and bad comments for using the windows sound control panel..

find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A

I think there is a confusion between Simshaker Software with Bassshaker and Jetseat.

 

To use Jetseat (a converted massage seat) you attach it to a USB port. Then it is controlling the vibromotors.

 

If you want to use the bassshaker you need a second audio channel, which needs to independent from the sim sound. Usually a second sound card (recommended), a multi-out audio board with seperately configueable Audio outs, USB external sound card (not recommended, often has ground loop noise and other issues).

This output is attached to an Amplifier (in case of bassshaker the included Amp) which powers the bass transducers that need to be firmly attached to your seat.

 

I use a setup with a professional (studio) external USB soundcard, a cheap 12V Amplifier for use in Car Hifi, with a 12V power supply which drives a stereo set of two basspump III transducers, though actually I would consider one enough, if I were to recommend to someone. ;)

Hi Mohammad12000,

the input is wrong.

Tell me please at which version of DCS you have the error?

FWIW, my motherboard has a separate optical output, use a simple convertor to hook it to the transducer amp and it works without a separate soundcard. Just another option people can look into.

There is a collision between SimShaker and Export plugin for SimTools V3.

Both use connection name "c1"

Try to replace all "c1" with, for instance, "c2" in Export.lua files to resolve the conflict.
