SimShaker - Wings support thread for IL-2 users

[slojani]

Hi Andre

I'm wondering if the ASIO driver is still needed to configure three or more butkickers. I have version 2.25 simshaker wings and 6 butkickers.

Thanks for ansver

Hi slojani,

No, ASIO is quite optional now. I even removed that option from GUI.
Please pay attention that SimShaker Wings now features (as another option) its own Sound Module with extended audio functions.

Thanks fo ansver.

Hi Andre. Is it possible to create a global template preset that applies to all planes the first time they are flown in IL2? So I can create a template that applies settings that are shared for all planes, but then I can change 1 or 2 settings for individual planes as required.

Hi kalerider1,
Good question.
Currently a preset for a new plane is created from the last flown plane preset.
I'm not sure what is the best for most players - to use a special global preset or to use the latest one. On the one hand, both can be programmed to suit the user's preferences. On the other hand, I wouldn't want to add too many options that are difficult to comprehend and navigate.

Now to the essence of your question. I think in the current implementation if you unmark the checkbox AC Type Presets IL2 on the Advanced Option tab it will load a common IL-2 preset IL_2_Great_Battles.xml which can be used as a global template. Marking the checkbox back during the flight will create a new private preset if the plane is flown for the first time. It's probably not very convenient, but it's possible and worth trying.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Now I understand how it works I can work with it like that.

Thanks, Kale.

For the second time today since I own the jetseat, upon shutting down the computer, all the motors of the jetseat start activating at the same time at maximum intensity, as soon as the computer was off, and the motors would not stop till I switched off the interruptor on the controller.

Any reason why this could be happening? Last time this seems to have fried the controller. This time it seems that the controller is still working.

Many thanks in advance,

y.

I wouldn't say it's a common issue. Your computer may need grounding I guess.
Please check that the controller audio slider switch is at 0 position. Try to switch off the seat before the computer to prevent damage.

There is a black mini slider with 3 positions but these positions are not marked.

Does 0 correspond to the position closer to the dial or to the one closer the side of the controller?

Добрый день. Вопрос конечно не для этого форума ,но может есть вертолётчики . Не поделитесь хорошим профилем для ми 8 . В программе всё стоит по 50. Понимаю что каждый делает под себя. Но интересно было  бы глянуть какие настройки кто ставит и почему.

Hi Andre

I noticed that to save changes to profiles levels of feedback, eg bf109s flaps at 0%, I have to go into page where save option is and make a change on that page as well, eg deselect a motor checkbox then select it again, otherwise the save option is greyed out.

A small issue but thought you might like to know.

I also seemed to not be able to overwrite other profiles with a currently open profile, eg use the bf109 f4 profile to make changes to other 109 profiles using the save as feature. The changes didn't get applied? Not sure if that's the correct way to do it? Not a big deal as I can just change them individually anyway.

Hi kalerider1,

Thank you for the feedback.

Do you mean HF Extended settings tab? Not sure I can take it right.... Maybe you could provide some screenshots?

Using the "Save As..." button is the correct way to do it. You can even select multiple target files to be overwritten.

Hi Andre.

If I make any changes in the general settings tab I have to go into the HF8 extended settings tab to save the changes. But the save option isn't active until I make a change in the extended settings tab as well. Is that correct? That's what I've been doing so far - making the change I want in general settings, then going to extended settings and unchecking and then rechecking one of the motor checkboxes so that the save button is active.

"Using the "Save As..." button is the correct way to do it. You can even select multiple target files to be overwritten."

This didn't work when I tried it. Maybe I'll try it again to see if I missed something.

Ah, no. The matter is a bit complicated, sorry.
The changes in the general settings tab are stored automatically, in some cases right after you made the change, and always when you close the app.
Button's on the HF8 extended settings tab scope is the HF8 effects samples, but when you hit the Save All [samples] button it also saves game specific changes made on other tabs.

The Save All button is always active.

Perhaps. But right now, it's hard for me to imagine a situation in which it wouldn't work. Could you please re-check.
