    Hello guys, first of all - thank you for the great site, the software and the community!

    Is something similar to SimVibe still planned, where you can use actual game output data to control the shakers? I've come a few posts mentioning it was being planned, is this something still being worked on?

    Thanks!

    There has been no further info that I am aware of other than it is being worked on and will be ready when it is ready. @yobuddy do you have any additional update?

    Yes, but its a lot more work that you would think.
    Since the plugin api changes to add bass shaker support, all of the plugin needs to be updated.

    Currently I have someone testing the shaker setup with RPM right now.
    And a few updated plugins.
    I tell more when there is something to really update you guys on..
    Take care!
    yobuddy!

    Well I have a total of 8 aura for the wheels 2 aura for the pedal bar 1 aura for the shifter 1 buttkicker for the seat...1 card for chasis and 1 for extension mode.

    The combination of things like chevrons and vibrations combined with the motion from my seat mover and the view from my dk2 provides super immersion

    It would be fantastic becuase main program today is simvibe (89 $) and X-Sim (very complicated and worse than simvibe for shakers).
