SimShaker for DCS World and Falcon BMS support thread
-
EDIT 2/ disregard, nothing an old “did you try turning it off and on again” aka reboot the frakking windows couldn’t solve
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!
-
I’ve 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), it’s not exactly what I was looking for. All I need is to create a shortcut to the .exe file but I can’t 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 it….tried it…bought it…money well spent. This is AWESOME! Much improved! Thanks Andre!

Woops, I might have spoke too soon….
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 doesn’t show any of the sound devices that I have (two HDMI devices, onboard sound, PCI-e device, etc). Several reboots have not helped.

Hi David,
that’s normal, since bass-shaker support is an option.
You’ve already paid for the Sound Module and I can replace your Sound Module license with SimShaker - Wings up to 6 bass-shakers support option license, if you use the Sound Module with BMS only.
If you would like to use the Sound Module with other sim titles supported in SimShaker for Aviators, please, buy that SimShaker - Wings option as well. -
Hi guys,
I’d like to ask those who are interested in BETA version of SimShaker - Wings to make a fresh install of the BETA version with this new installer.
I’ve tried to touch BMS part as little as possible, but added support for War Thunder Aviation.
You can find more information in my blog following by this link https://dreamsimteam.blogspot.ru/2017/08/simshaker-wings-beta-version-14.htmlThank you for using SimShaker - Wings!

This makes no sense, sorry. I do have the sound module but that is not part of this issue. I am talking only about Simshaker Wings. Without simshaker DCS-BMS loaded, nor SSA loaded I am having this issue. Should I uninstall the sound module to get SSW to work? Sound module should not be loaded anyway or is it resident at all times in memory?
My issue is that without authorizing SSW it works great. Once I authorize it with my code I cannot access the audio source or bass shaker portion of SSW (see the attached photo above). I uninstalled and reinstalled twice to verify this (and lost three authorizations). As far as I understand, this issue should have nothing to do with previous/other versions of SimShaker.

Hi Andre! Not sure if I asked before, but can the BETA and the RELEASE versions exist in the same PC? Or do we have to pick one? This may be really tricky especially with your “special” installer
Thanks!

After reading about the latest update….you mean that to use ANY bass shakers at all I have to purchase, at an additional charge, the 6 bass shakers? I had thought that SSW included support for two channels (2 shakers)?! Even more confused now…
EDIT: Still slightly confused but that is an ongoing issue in my life
I read further back and see that I had SS-Wheels confused with SSW. Wheels does indeed give access to 2 channels.No, I definitely want to keep the sound module as I use it with SSA for DCS.

Hi -Ice,
that would be a problem with the old beta, since it shared the same assembly name with the released version.
With the new beta, which I’m asking to use, there should not be any problems. Both versions keep share settings files and activation.This may be really tricky especially with your “special” installer
Actually, there is nothing very special there. That’s an embedded method of software deployment offered by Microsoft for every developer, using Microsoft Visual Studio tool.
They’ve tried to make software installation more secure for the users, avoiding touching PC sensitive areas such as registry or Programs Files folder. -
Thanks for confirming that, Andre!

-
Having the executable buried and hard to find does make it hard to add it as an exception in firewalls and virus detection software.

I agree. More over, the location will be changed by the every update.
As a good workaround you can add exception by the process name (= file name), not the full path. Please see the picture attached.
Windows firewall, for example, promts to add exception rules automatically, nothing to do but click OK button. -

When you install an app from Android, Apple of Windows store, isn’t that the same?

I don’t install any “apps” from Android or Apple now, but even the Android “backup” program (backup my phone settings) allowed me to choose my install location. Even iTunes allowed me to pick my install location. Any Windows program I install I know exactly where it goes, except for stuff like DirectX or C++ or Visual Studio, etc. but that doesn’t bother me because they’re operating-system stuff anyway and not programs I directly interact with.

Hmmm… I’m trying to find that entry where I can set when the seat vibrations start when pulling Gs… but I can’t find it (Release version, not beta). Am I blind or has Andre taken it out?
