SimShaker - Wings support thread for IL-2 users

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.

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?
