    The popup shows ok. But if I click Save, it freezes completely and I have to close the program. If I change the IP the change is not saved.

    edit: this is fixed in the latest version.

    Other plugins will be supported, they just need to be updated to take advantage of Game Vibe.

    This was not the cause, however I can't pinpoint what was it.
    Indeed GameManager was not receiving any data at all from LFS. I did a complete re-install, recreated profiles et al and now it's working!
    :)

    It's worth noting (for the newbies like me) that the names in GameVibe will appear only with the game running. If you open only GameVibe, the default labels will show. When you start the game (and the plugin attaches to it), everything will appear as supposed to be.

    Thanks @yobuddy!
    I'll play with the profiles for LFS for now waiting on the updated plugins (don't forget my PM).

    Hi @yobuddy, two questions:

    1) Why frequency is from -50 to +100? Is it possible to correlate this with Hz?

    2) In Vibe Creator, should we have a "None" location, to allow us to select if the effect goes to SoundCard #1 or #2 only?
    For instance, if I want Gear Shift only on FrontLeft on #2, how would I configure #1?

    One more note: if we close the Vibe Creator without hitting Save, it will save the changes anyway.

    edit: changed in the latest version

    Well I want to get to where we can add more sound effects.
    (like anyone can try out any sound loop they make)
    And I'm not sure exactly what everyone will base their sound at.

    I made all the samples at 50hz, but we will see if we keep them there after the beta.
    And is 50% negative deep enough for all transducers?
    (I only got to test one set after all.)
    Do we have enough high frequency headroom too?
    (to much and the note becomes audible)

    I guess there is still some questions I have before I work out the fine details.
    In the end, I'm sure there is math for the proper output.

    2) Yes, this is a good idea!

    Man I spent all day working on the wrong sound card selected problem for XAudio2.
    (everything works fine on XP lol, but that's because it uses direct sound)
    Anyway, after a long day and not much working, i noticed they changed the way it works in the newest version lol.

    So I will try that tomorrow.
    It would be a whole lot easier if it was just a math +1 error lol.
    Take care,
    yobuddy

    btw, the IPAddress windows problem was because I forgot to re-enable the main window after you click ok. :p
    Simple fix!

    Sorry to hear about the soundcard list issue. Let's hope the new version will help you.

    So, a 0 frequency in GameVibe (which is a %) means the tone will be 50hz? And our range, using the built-in samples, will be from 25hz to 100hz?

    Buttkickers can go as low as 10hz.

    I almost have the next release done for GameVibe.
    Special thx to llluis for all his help in finding the sound card out of order problem.
    thx @llluis!
    Also the None option has been added for sound location and the Ip Address form now works as it should.
    Looks like I got a little testing to do!
    take care,
    yobuddy

    I'm going to try to set the next release to be between 25 and 100hz.
    its more than 4x the range we have now.
    We can bump the range up a bit more if it seems right on everyone's systems.

    @ericRacer, can you show me a pic of the tab problem.
    I can't seem to make it happen buddy.

    As soon as i get the core tuned where we need it.
    I just haven't gotten a lot of feedback yet either.
    Have people been able to get Rpm running or any other of the vibes?
    chat soon,

    Trouble is AC does not have a free demo for casual testers @Brett Horton.

    Perhaps if making such a suggestion something like RaceRoom Experience may be a better modern option, the base install is free but it is a pretty large download.
