    Do many members of these Forums use Transducers without motion? And if so how?
    I Have an Xbox one and a Earthquake Shellshoxx and would like more control over it rather than it being dependent on the sound from the game.

    Exactly, you'll need sim vibe or SimTools v2 and a second sound card to run transducers independent of sound.

    The SimTools developer @yobuddy has said "I will release SimTools 2.0 when the beta testers believe it is ready for the big show": http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/simtools-2-0-question-and-answer.8175/#post-100100

    As of today there have been 10 beta versions and bugs are still being squashed, refinements are being added and testing has been widened as more functionality has been added to 2.0.

    Hi there!

    I have a wooden non-moving rig at the moment and also added two bassshakers right under the seat. I'm grabbing the audio output via Y-Cable, put it into a little 2-channel Amp and then to the shakers.

    For a first quick try this is quite OK. A little step more in the direction of realism. Nevertheless that is surely not "best in class". So I tried using x-sim (it has a bassshaker plugin) to generate the input directly from FFB/Game data. However I realized that this is a lot of configuration and I wasn't able to make it. Probably I'd just need to read myself more into the software and the maths, but in the short time I wasn't able to.

    So I decided to stay with my audio-grab-solution. Sim Vibe is a bit too expensive imho, so I probably wait for sim tools 2.0 and give that a try.

    Yes it's a shame Simvibe does not offer a time limited trial, no good to me though I am on Xbox

    There is a plugin for Project Cars that is UDP, this works with Xbox This is what attracted me to this site initially, it was posted on the project cars forum, still requires a PC to function.

    Well there you go, I guess once the Project Cars developer supported telemetry via UDP then all it takes is for someone to develop a plugin - have you tested it?

    No I don't have a motion sim, I am waiting for Simtools 2 with the vibe function, yes the UDP thing is quite exciting for console owners and with project cars and Asseto Corsa coming soon we even have real driving games☺
