Hey Judy,
Thank you for the feedback
As weād discussed above, there is no obvious mark in shared memory that the AB is on and no indication what a plane/block is in the action.
My current method to detect AB ON is
if (fdata.nozzlePos >= 0.2 && fdata.fuelFlow > 8000.0), i.e with fixed thresholds.
IRRC itās correspondent to F-16B-15.I think I will add BMS specific controls to let you adjust those thresholds (fuel flow and nozzle pos ) for a plane you are flying.
I think weāll be able to share those values between pilots here to make such adjustment easier.Any other suggestions how to solve the problem?
OK, now Iām a bit confused.
To be sure, I uninstalled BMS completely and reinstalled it from scratch. I now have a clean install of BMS 4.33 U3.
Iāve done some tests with different blocks and hereās what Iāve found:
Blk-52, Blk-40 and Blk-42: the AB effects behaviour seem normal. They kick in when entering AB and stop when exiting. Please note that the nozzle position is not progressive, there are no intermediate positions according to the RPM, for instance. Iās whether full open (AB on) or full closed ( AB off).
Blk-50: same behaviour as described in post #635. In this case, the nozzle position is progressive. For instance, you can find an RPM position (AB off) where nozzle position is between 20 and 40% and the SSW effects kick in.
Very strange But there must be a logical explanationā¦
Hope this helpsJudy

Thank you for the update, Judy.
According to my algorithm, which is: if (fdata.nozzlePos >= 0.2 AND fdata.fuelFlow > 8000.0)
if as you said nozzle position is above 20% (i.e. > 0.2)
and AB FX is On, for me that have only one logical explanation - fuelFlow is above 8000. -
Guys, Iāve published SSWings beta version 1.1.
Please have a look at main changes on my info-graphic screenshot.- You can select a method for Ground Bumps FX. One, or both, or none.
- You can adjust AB FX triggering. To see current Nozzle Position and Fuel Flow values you can use native BMSFlightData utility from ā\Falcon BMS 4.33 Ux\Tools\SharedMemā folder.
Your adjustment will be saved at the current preset. To manage presets please use a table at SSWings Launcher and Advanced Options tab of main SSWings window.
Happy flying!

More options is always better Thanks!

Hi guys,
Iāve published SimShaker - Wings beta version 1.2 with logging bug and Desktop shortcut name fixed.
Thatās a release candidate version.
Looking forward for your feedback. -
I could use some help here Iām afraid. Downloaded SSWings_release_setup.exe just now. First try to open it (Win7x64) it didnāt do anything. Right clicking the exe file and chosing properties showed it was blocked. I lifted the block, plus checked the āalways run as administratorā box in compatibility tab too. But whenever I try to run the exe, it doesnāt do anything?
EDIT/ I see the exe in the process list, but doing nothing. Killing it and retrying doesnāt do anything either.
EDIT 2/ disregard, nothing an old ādid you try turning it off and on againā aka reboot the frakking windows couldnāt solve -

Have you tried to restart the PC? -

Pardon me? Has the reboot helped?

Andre, where exactly are the SSWings files located? I want to make some shortcuts for my Helios profile. Thanks!
-
Iāve described that above, IIRC to Uwe.
The same method here if you need some shortcuts. -
Yeah, and seems like it while it will fit his needs (backing up the \appdata\local folder), itās not exactly what I was looking for. All I need is to create a shortcut to the .exe file but I canāt do that with the default desktop icon; I needed to download the SimShaker-Wings-Launcher.application, make a shortcut to THAT, then put it in Helios. No worries, working now anyway so all is good!

I have spent the summer doing bicycle tours; come home to find that there is a new SimShaker software for BMS?!!!
Downloaded itā¦.tried itā¦bought itā¦money well spent. This is AWESOME! Much improved! Thanks Andre!

Woops, I might have spoke too soonā¦.
After activating Simshaker Wings and restarting my PC I can no longer choose an audio device. The section to do so is greyed out as well as the check box for output to bass shakers. No the correct device is not being used by any other software and it doesnāt show any of the sound devices that I have (two HDMI devices, onboard sound, PCI-e device, etc). Several reboots have not helped.
