SimShaker for DCS World and Falcon BMS support thread
-
Greetings.
Yep. Same for me.
Haven’t used it for the last few days. Just come across these last couple of posts, tried it out and “no joy”!
Managed to launch BMS and all but there’s surely something wrong.
In the Taskbar, BMS and Simshaker icons are appearing/disappearing!

Jaycee.PS.
Sorry forgot to mention that I’ve got an AMD gpu.
Thanks. -
Hmm…so not GPU specific? I had thought about trying roll back my drivers but I think I will wait for Andre’s input. He is on the job
-
Interesting.
Rolling back my nvidia drivers didn’t fix the problem.
Also tried simshaker for aviators… still doesn’t work.Back to Andre,
if it helps, in my simple terms, the simshaker software doesn’t hand back video control to BMS. -
Guys, problem is not hardware or driver related.Also totally not Update3 related.
The program has expired because of the New Year.
Andre I am sure that you already know how to fix.Cheers Obi1

Yes, I’m publishing the update. Stay in touch.

Pilots, SimShaker for DCS World and Falcon BMS version 1.1.1.49 is published. Please try and report the result.
Note: since SimShaker checks for updates in background you will be prompted to update on the second launch. -
Works for me, but watch for the windows firewall access request.
If it doesn’t work for you immediately, changing your computer date to before Dec 31 is a temp fix. -
Thanks Obi1 - I did try this after reading your post and before Andre’s updated file. -
Thanks Andre.
It’s working now. Great service. -
Confirmed as well Working fine now. Thanks Andre, you are right on top of things!
-
Thanks Andre,
Now it works for me too. Great service!
Kind regards -
I had same issue a few minutes ago. Then it asked to update. I updated and all is working now.
-
Mine never did ask me to update, eventually I just downloaded the latest version.

To enforce update one can try to click on Update Information URL when SimShaker is selected in Windows Control Panel - Programms and Features.
-
Thanks for the update Andre & a happy new year to you, too.

I need to check which version I currently have but since a couple of days I’m experiencing trouble.
When simshaker normally starts I see 3 items in the menu bar. A green icon, a blue and then a generic icon. The generic icon is for some sort of terminal/prompt window and has something to do with reading the shared memory if I recall correctly. However since a few days the icon appears and disappears about every second, constantly. The result is that simshaker doesn’t vibrate the jetseat, and worse, my mouse focus shifts every second. I can’t click on anything anymore and in BMS every second the focus goes out of bms and the sound disappears for a second. All is resolved when I kill Simshaker.
Any idea’s? First time I’m having problems with the software since beta testing. -
That’s right Faan, the console app reads BMS shared mem and should be updated.
It’s started only with BMS.
Please try to open SimShaker main window not having BMS running and see what’s version is in use.
