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. -

Have the problem with 1.1.48 and now after updating today also with 1.1.49. Starting up is ok, then the second I start BMS it starts happening. When opening BMS in windowed mode I can see the console app coming and going every second; when trying to open BMS fullscreen it minimizes immediately because of the console app too.

I had the same experience…
A reboot did the trick. After that everything was running as usual;)Best Regards

Hey FD, you might check to make sure that your PC has the correct date in Windows.

Please try to catch a screenshot of the flashing console app and send it to me. I need to see what’s inside the window.

Any idea’s? First time I’m having problems with the software since beta testing.got exactly the same behavior , strange, maybe a result of the last BMS update ?

I tried before and it’s just impossible. I think I found the culprit though.
in Yame I selected the link that is placed automatically on my desktop to autostart it with some other programs like TIR and CCP. I noticed the problem occurs when I start Jetseat from within Yame and not when manually doing it via the desktop shortcut. So I opened Yame and reselected the shortcut from my desktop and now it seems to work ok also when started from within Yame.
Could it be the previous shortcut was somehow not ok anymore after the Jetseat software has been updated? Any reason by the way I can’t find an exe file to point to instead and I can only start it by linking to the shortcut? -

Actually, every update of SimShaker is a new installation along side with the current version and deletion of the previous version.
I suggest that Yame could save the link in its own special way and the link got outdated after the update.Any reason by the way I can’t find an exe file to point to instead and I can only start it by linking to the shortcut?
That’s the way MS Click Once deploying tech works. It brings us some advantages and some problems.

Yame again?

not really. I´m using Lightnings MFD Extractor.
Together with YAME, first i got a huge FPS drop (down to 5-10 FPS) got no such drop with MFDE .
Now my BMS Crashes when using Jetseat together with YAME

SimShaker just reads BMS shared memory,
or does not read if outdated.
If BMS is hypersensitive to background apps, that seems to be out of my control guys. -
This combo (jetseat / yame64) works great on my end. I also gained 20fps when moving from MFDE to YAME64, so there’s no going back for me
