    I expect a release this month for SimTools 2.0 and Game Dash 2.0.
    Followed closely by the Video Ride Creator and Player.
    And the Game Vibe will come after all else.
    It just takes a bit to get everything organized for the release.

    Please understand that we needed time to not only beta test SimTools 2.0, but also get lots of games supported.
    I also needed time to get all the plugin examples built, so people can make plugins for SimTools 2.0
    Not to mention all the "How To" sections.
    And the manual need updating also.
    So it all takes time.

    Anyway, we are getting close...
    Not long now guys!

    Perhaps... a trivial question: when will it be available, we can install the new version 2.0 of Sim Tools keeping also the old 1.3 version? Or the two versions could create plugins conflict?

    one or the other. Not Both.

    2.0 is a new build of ALL your simtools settings.

    @yobuddy is developing GameVibe to allow for the spatial control of transducers. Think of it this way, if you have 4 transducers representing 4 wheels of a car then say you clip a curb on the left side you would feel it via the left front transducer first, followed by the left rear transducer, but not the right side transducers.

    This GamveVibe feature is what I'm also very curious about.

    Now I'm using simxperience to drive my Vibe and simtools for my Motion. If I can combine the motion and Vibe it would be great. hug:

    Technically You mean Simvibe, Simcommander is SimXperience's software for motion. And Yes Combining motion and tactile is the idea. :cheers

    Sure, what I mean by this is:
    A Sound Card (installed as a second sound card to drive the transducers, set in quadraphonic mode)
    setup.jpg

    A 4 channel amplifier (that powers the transducers, and gets its signals from the sound card above)
    4 bass transducers
    and a power supply to power the 4 channel amplifier.

    I will show my test setup once I have time to play with it.

    I have a similar usb sound card and it works with simvibe- I assume it should also do the job with vibe.
