    @yobuddy

    Can not stop when the game is paused?

    There are a number of situations that stop at fixed numbers with certain values.

    Game pauses, software crashes, abandon races, etc ...
    In such a case, it may be very difficult if the vibration continues to ring.

    &

    Crashes happen frequently and I'm looking for the cause ... but it's random.

    What i have confirmed so far is ...

    GameVibe is first run & the chance of a crash occurring when the game is first run is very high, but GameVibe run again rarely causes a crash.

    @Mu-KwangKim Can you see if you get the same results with a different sound card?
    I have seen reports that the cheep ebay ones are not the best.
    Just wondering if you have another one sitting around to try out?

    We have tested three types of motherboards with built-in sound chipset and a separate sound card.

    I tested both Windows 7 and 10.

    They all show the same symptoms.

    if the log file to be generated on crash?

    thx @Mu-KwangKim for the update.
    I'm going to change how Game Engine controls weather GameVibe and Dash is on or off.
    I believe all of the problem are coming from here.
    chat soon,

    Goodmorning everyone! I almost finished adding two bodyshakers to my Sim and I was wondering: is there a chance to get the "GameVibe" feature with the DIY license? Or is a Professional license also required using the built-in LFS Plug-in in SimTools 2.2.5? Thank you all! :thumbs

    Game Vibe and other extension modules are all under the Pro license and can't be used with the DIY license.

    Have little trouble with game vibe - got vibrations working perfect in vibe creator, but when i launch AC the vibrations works fine only for few second, then all the game vibe get stuck, with vibrations stuck also.

    I got also that " modal popup window GameVibe5" like was mentioned here already..
    AC Plugin and Simtools updated and up to date.

    Could it be non-english windows language..?
    Any ideas?:)

    Btw but first tests in vibe creator looks VERY promising! Have to make this thing work:))

    Yes I believe so, but even installing in another language on a PC in the shop, I still can not get it to mess up. :oops:
    Pretty frustrating, but if you change the system local, I bet it will work fine.

    btw, these popups will be removed from the release version of GameVibe.
    They are only in there so I can catch problems (and get people to report them as needed).
    Take care,

    Unfortunately changing language version did not work out for me. Still the same - in pits the car vibrates perfect according to RPM, but once i leave pits the the game vibe crash.
    However i have one change - don´t have gamevibe5 poping up, not this guy showed up:D

    Edit: Tried Racerrom also, same trouble except i have MANY GameVibe6 popups, combined with GameVibe 3,4,5..:(

    Edit2: In AC i have always vibe working when ci start the race and car is stationary at pit. Rpm´s works perfect. However when i move the car the vibe crash immediatelly with GameVibeX popups...
    Tried different ways of launching Vibe / first vibe, then simtools, then game, reverse order, first game then vibe etc, run as admin etc no help:( caught it on video...:

    yes , me !



    I would like to feel the tires as I feel them in the FFB steering wheel.
    it seems difficult
    I can not do it for the moment.
    Maybe the FFB infos are defferent and not present in GameVibe / simulator

    Well as i have seat movet i was originally looking just for rpm effect (where the SIN sound 5-35Hz seems to be looking fine for me:), but it shows that the gear change (experimenting with TRI 10-15Hz) is also pretty nice:) now i´m gonna try implement also road detail, but not sure which shound works out better for this one..?:)

    Thx, but no. Meanwhile I could fix the error. The message was from net.framework and the reference was DirectX.DirectSound. After installing !!! DX9 !!! the error was gone.

    How the heck is it possible, that a software from 2018 needs 10 year old stuff?

    I technically completed it in 2017 thou :grin.

    It's because unlike all other versions of windows, win10 it simply does not ship with dx9 at all.
    Most people don't see the problem thou, because a game they have installed updates this usually.
    Take care,

    Have profiles for the tuning centre values in Gabe vibe been considered? In xplane for example I have a high rpm value of about 2600 for when I am in the cessna. This works well and gives a good range of vibes that feels well matched to the plane. If I fly a jet the rpm telemetry goes up to say 9000 rpm so even at idle the shakers are buzzing like crazy maxed out as above the max of 2600 I set in the tuning centre values. The sliders only change a small percent of the values. At the moment I manually change the max value Everytime I fly a jet to 9000 so I get a full range. A profile would be handy.
    Thanks.
