Hi guys!
I am excited! ā¦
I have final (after many month of even year) ordered a Vibrating pad SimShaker JetPad FSE .
Andre seems very nice and prompt on E-MAil communication!Now ā¦ I have to wait. About one month to two months because of pandemic restrictions. I have waited 20 years, I can wait two more month no problem.
thank you Andre for your mails, and thank you Red Dog for advice!

Man that reminds me I still need to reinstall my sim shaker. Remember the time I was still beta testing it for AndrƩ. Great guy indeed.
You wonāt regret it. -

Great to hear Dee-Jay, it really does replicate some of that feel you lose from just being in a chair. I canāt sim without it!

I hope youāll have fun with your new toy, Dee-Jay
Support from Andre has been excellent over the years, Iām still enjoying my jetseat (again) after a minor issue with one of the pins in a connector getting bent out of shape (completely my fault and easy enough to repair once we found out what the issue was).
All the best,
Uwe

Hope you have a blast, Dee-Jay! Got the Buttkicker Gamer2 myself (as opposed to the seat pad style vibration), and without Andreās software, itās a poor excuse for a sound-to-vibrationā¦ but WITH the SimShaker Wings, you can feel every break in the taxiway, you no longer have to look to see if Airbrakes are on, you can just FEEL it! Crap, am I making the two month wait worse? haha! Youāre gonna love that thing when it arrives!
p.s. I do VR racing, too, mostly at Road America (in Project Cars 2), and Andreās SimShaker Wheels is just as good, just a little testimonial there ā¦ high quality work, worth every penny.

Received and installed!
Very good looking product.
Works with 4.34 ā¦ but I canāt manage to make it work on the Beta versions of 4.35/36. :sad: (!?) ā¦ I donāt know why? ā¦ maybe something about Windows registry or shared memory?
I donāt know how SimShakerWing is actually working behind the scene. For the moment, it is āonlyā a massage seat.ā¦ Here is how it is integrated in Aker Barnes cockpit:

Working fine for me in all versions ā¦.
I donāt remember making a changes or adjustments. -
Hi Badger! Thank you for input!

I donāt remember making a changes or adjustments.set g_bExportRTTTextures 1 // This enables the shared texture memory area for HUD/MFDs/HMS/RWR/DED/PFL
set g_nRTTExportBatchSize 2 // This determines how often the shared texture memory area (if it is enabled) will be updated (every Nth frame, default/min is 2)ā¦ ?
Could you send me in PM the content of your 4.36 FalconBMS.cfg please?

Congrats Dee-Jay. You live 3 - 4 weeks or more in future :headb:

I think your only option for help from the community is sharing these ābeta buildsā you speak of here with us, the unwashed, non-beta masses
I hope the new builds work again with Linux? :)[1]
All the best & congrats on your new toy!
Uwe
1:Iād be happy to help with testing this!

No idea. I donāt think so (is Linux running DX11?)
ā¦
My problem is solved. I was simply that I was running a Test EXE which do not includes the feature.
More feedback later. But now, SimShaker is full integrated to my cockpit:
ā¦ finally, Iāve put it under the seat cushion. It is transiting vibrations through the entire cockpit

Nice to hear you got it working Dee-Jay, I was not meaning to derail the thread of course. And yes, many DX11 titles work fine on WINE / Linux (BMS 4.33 used to work just fine, too).
Are you using the JetSeat underneath that seat or have you integrated it into the seat cushion itself? I have mine on top of my regular office chair in which I sometimes watch TV or use titles that donāt support the jetseat (Xplane 11 on Linux for instance), so from time to time I find sitting on the motors uncomfortable (I have a sheepskin on top of them) and just put an additional cushion underneath the sheepskin to āsoften upā the seat a bit.
All the best,
Uwe

Glad you solvedā¦
Just curiousā¦how you made that arm holder?
Tomorrow i will share pictures of my solution, but i am always looking at ways to improve it -

Hi Andre!
Question (I wasnāt able to find any answer on your WebSite nor in the FAQ) ā¦ is it planed (if even possible) to make SimShaker (SimShaker Wings) compatible with FS2020 ?
Regards.

SimShaker stopped working recently, app loads but no output.
