    @Banfy I no longer use Game Vibe. It was ok but left a lot to be desired. What I found works best for me is pretty simple. I just use the sound from the game itself. My setup is a Bluetooth audio receiver which feeds into my 300watt subwoofer amplifier and then into the Clark Synthesis transducer. The computer has to be set up for Bluetooth and enabled in the audio settings. There are other ways to get the audio to your buttkicker, I just chose the wireless route.
    The amplifier should filter out any of the higher frequency audio.
    It was the best solution for me in both FS2020 and NL2.
    BTW I have switched to Pt Mover software to run my 6dof .
    Like you said "I struggle to get rpm and turbulence tuned right".
    That is what I found too.:):):)


    Set up:..
    Bash 300S Digital Subwoofer Plate Amplifier 300W RMS

    Clark Synthesis TST239 Silver Tactile Transducer Bass Shaker

    Echo Dot (3rd Gen) - Smart speaker with Alexa

    Agree, I have always driven my buttkicker from my sound card, especially for games like NL2. Simple setup - works.

    My pc can deliver ultra performance on the game , I have smooth 60fps on ultra settings without motion , but when I'm running it with motion I have fps drops and stuttering in menu screen and game, barely getting 45 fps . what goes wrong?
    My PC specs:
    i5 9600k
    32gb Ram
    gtx 1660 ti
    2xAdata XPG Gammix S11 PRO M2

    Thank you!

    There's a trade-off between the rate of motion data transmission and the FPS of the game. You can try turning down the motion data rate, which by default is 100 Hz, by editing the config file in AppData\Local\SimTools\MFS2020. If you make this too low, the motion will be choppy, so you'll have to find a good balance.

    It works. I download MSFS SDK, and use SIMCONNECT.DLL from there :)
    and then patch again, and dash appears. thanks

    The FAQs cover common questions, including plugin access option: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/coins-and-how-to-download-plugins.2/

    The demo version of SimTools comes packed with the fully functional plugin for Live For Speed, specifically for testing purposes, and is not time limited in any way.

    You can choose to use SimTools or an alternative such as FlyPT, whatever works for you.

    The exploitation of SimTools and the Xsimulator.net community by commercial interests is what happened, and resulted in the necessity of strict licensing: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/kickstarter-t1000-2-3-4-5-motion.6967/#post-79894

    These are the listed supported outputs, which includes heave: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/microsoft-flight-simulator-2020-plugin.246/

    Motion data: Roll, pitch, yaw, heave, sway, surge, roll rate, pitch rate, yaw rate

    GameDash data: RPM (engine 1, propeller 1, engine 2, propeller 2, engine 3, propeller 3, engine 4, propeller 4), speed, altitude, latitude, longitude, flaps (left trailing edge, right trailing edge, left leading edge, right leading edge), landing gear, stall warning, overspeed warning, on ground

    GameVibe data: RPM, turbulence, flaps, landing gear, road detail, collision L/R, collision F/B
