SimShaker for DCS World and Falcon BMS support thread
-
Is the beta setup file the one in the downloads section of your website?
No, please look for download link on the bottom of SimShaker - Wings User Guide page, in the Beta Version section.

Hi folks,
all of a sudden (without changing anything on the system w/r to simshaker or bms), simshaker wings has stopped working for me in BMS. The massage app still runs fine as does rfactor 2 (simshaker wheels), but I get no output from the seat in BMS whatsoever.
The BMS launch seems to be detected fine:
Thank you for using SimShaker software!
Happy flying21:12:33 Got settings from C:\Users\Uwe\AppData\Local\SimShaker-Wings\LauncherSettings.cfg
21:12:54 SimShaker-Wings start in Falcon_BMS mode
21:14:27 SimShaker-Wings close
21:16:34 SimShaker-Wings start in Falcon_BMS mode
21:21:26 SimShaker-Wings closeAny idea what could be wrong here? I’ve been messing around with getting my idle detent position to work on my warthog (mostly playing with the bms keyfile), but I wouldn’t think this could / would break jetseat functionality in BMS, right?
I’m using simshaker wings version 1.2.
Thanks in advance & all the best, Uwe
EDIT: I’ve verified “simshaker wings” outputs to the jet seat and the “test” button works as expected. I’ve also tried switching theaters to stock KTO, but that did not help, either.

Hi Uwe,
Current version of SimShaker - Wings is 1.14.
I would recommend to update it first of all. -
Thanks, I was thinking 1.20 > 1.14 but apparently it’s 1.02 < 1.14? Doesn’t the setup.exe look for updates automatically?
I’ll try that tonight and let you know how it goes.
All the best, Uwe
-
That’s right, it looks for updates automatically.
I wonder, do you really start the program via setup.exe? -
Yep, that’s what I’ve been doing ever since I upgraded from the previous simshaker software (for BMS / DCS I believe).
EDIT: I’ll manually download the latest version tonight. Weird that it should simply stop working like it did for me though without any changes to BMS itself.
Cheers, Uwe
-
I suggest you could try to start the app using its shortcut in order to get update.
-
Just ordered one from you Andre!
-
That did it Andre… now running 1.14 and the jetseat works again in BMS as expected. Thanks!
BTW, you might want to consider changing the version number to always include two digits, I think it’s less confusing this way.
All the best,
Uwe

Im inspired by your level of dedication. I’m moved to purchase soon I think. This really looks like some great kit that could last for quite sometime, moving forward this is a MUST in sim hardware.

Have it for over a year now and my BMS expirience has’nt been the same since.
Totally recommended. -
Got mine Friday…loving it!

Falcon BMS support and Sound Module work together in chain. You have Sound Module in demo mode, that’s a bottle neck, and you can feel only Ground Bumps effect.
Gametrix Jetseat owners get full access right out of the box.It’s hard to say now. 50/50.
When my Gametrix Jetseat arrived, there was nothing to indicate the SimShaker software was anything other than demo mode, so I paid for the extra $25 or so for the software. Should I have received the software with the Jetseat? If so, please contact me about a refund on the software. Thanks!

No, you shouldn’t have. SimShaker - Wings is neither a free-ware nor coming along with JetSeats.
There were some changes since that my old post. -
I just wanted to thank Andre for continued involvement, amazing software and hardware, and just being a darn nice bloke.
THANK YOU ANDRE!

I just wanted to thank Andre for his superb customer service. I love my jet seat. Thank you Andre.

André,
Let me introduce you the newly created ACESTRIX

Wow! That’s amazing!
Thank you for sharing that Red Dog!
I’d like to make such authentic looking cushions one day!
