    I've got those 2 friends on simtools now but they are having problems getting Game Vibe working.
    They're getting the 'Unhandled Exception error' below.
    I directed one of them to the direct X fix on another thread but that's not worked.
    Got any thoughts.
    Thanks

    I’m in the process of getting them to try the dx instal and updates on the previous pages. I’ll see how that goes.

    @yobuddy you sir are a steely eyed missile man.
    They finally have game vibe working.
    I had to get them to instal the direct 9c from your post on page 16 as well as the stuff on ther link above, just in case anyone else needs to know.
    Now they have rumbling weapons, landing gear and flaps in war thunder they are well happy.
    Big Thanks

    @Foehn,
    Install over the top to update the software.
    Should work fine.

    Take care!

    Hello guys.
    Very good job with the gamevibe.

    I installed it and is running with no errors.
    I follow all the settings, but I can just felt the rpm effect during my iracing session.

    During the tuning, I can see the game sending the effects, but nothing happens.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Edit: I reinstall everything and it's working.
    Now, I need to find the right settings for all effects.

    Just a heads up if anyone else has this issue.
    With the latest windows update game vibe was outputting to mine and a few friends vr headset and not the buttickers.
    Even though the buttkicker soundcard was selected as the output.
    It seems the windows update must’ve confused game vibe as to which sound device is which.
    You need to cycle the soundcard in game vibe to fix it.
    By that I mean change the output to the vr headset( or maybe yours speakers if not vr).
    Test in vibe creator. Nasty sound through speakers I know.
    Then go back and select the correct soundcard for buttkickers and save.
    That should do it.

    Does GameVibe supports DCS flight simulator? and will it support the upcoming Microsoft Simulator?

    Game Vibe support is still being rolled out, so DCS will be added when the devs get to it. MSFS 2020 is not out yet and as far as I know we are yet to find out if there is going to be telemetry API.

    from the documentation in the first post:
    as a non native speaker, I stumbled on this sentence... but I figured it out :)
    small typos in the first message of the thread

    -> So you won’t hear anything from GameVibe

    I had a go at beta testing Game vibe (in 2016 ?), and now I would like to test it again!
    Is there a demo mode before buying it?

    There is no demo mode for any of the SimTools companion apps. Perhaps that is a challenge @yobuddy has or could consider in terms of the practical implications.

    Hello,

    I'm a new member here. I'm interested in Gamevibe but I couldn't find any information regarding Grand Prix Legends support. I found that this game is supported by SimTool and I would like to know if Gamevibe can be used for it

    Under the Download tab of each plugin is the list of supported feautures, though sometimes it also pays to check the Updates tab.

    At the moment GameVibe support is not listed for Grand Prix Legends, so that is something the plugin dev @value1 would need to consider adding, if he has the time and interest to do so: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/grand-prix-legends-plugin.144/
