    @eaorobbie
    First trial of GameDash-buttkicker test: :)
    - GameDash extracted on the desktop
    - Simtools RC1
    - rFactor is running
    - simulator is moving
    - tuning center shows data​
    but nothing in GameDash?...

    maybe I have to do or setup something? :confused:

    In the GameManager click on "Dash" to open the dash drawer:
    GameDash.jpg
    Define the IP address (by clicking on IP Setting), to where the dash data shall be sent to. If you have a single PC setup, just write 127.0.0.1, if you have dual (or more ;) ) PC setup, specify the IP address of the receiving PC (Windows-key + R – cmd – ipconfig):
    GameDashIP.jpg
    Now select the Packet Rate:
    GameDashRate.jpg
    and click Enable Dash Output and Dash again to close the dash drawer.
    Done.

    @value1 Thanks! I followed your instructions with success!

    first test:
    - rFactor volume to zero
    - GameDash running
    - windows volume to middle!

    and some vibration from my buttkicker! :p:confused::eek::D:(:cool:;):rolleyes:
    Good starting point!

    My first impression is that
    - vibration is irregular... maybe with a better refresh rate! I'm confident
    - without Lowpass filter actived onto my ampli, I hear sounds from my buttkicker (not a good use, indeed!)
    and with lowpass, only vibration but too few... maybe we should think about dividing higher frequencies.

    I'll try uploading a recording tomorrow!

    @RaceRay , @eaorobbie : Great! Thanks! Have a good night!

    Thanks Value1 , I should have included that in my original post.
    Yes agree RacingMat, a low-pass filter is needed and properly a different range on the frequencies too, but yes this was just a proof of concept to show that this holds potential of being a usable tool for Sim Tools future.
    Thanks for testing with an actual bass-kicker.

    @RacingMat its possible to reduce latency, so soundfonts are very fast and can be played nearly in realtime. You should give visual basic 2010 a try. Its free and vb.net is very easy to use and powerful, but keep in mind its a different language than vb. Only the name is similiar:)

    yep! my head will fry with all those languages! but... I've installed it!
    (back to old time?... I started with BASIC ;-)
    and I like VBA in Office very much! I hope it's close)

    I'm eager to have a look on your codes, guys, if I can contribute!

    Hey @eaorobbie , did you use the Class SoundGenerator and Media.SoundPlayer i published or another one?
    If its the SoundGenerator class i could try to find out how to select another soundcard and post the source here.

    I used the first Tone generator as an example , there is plenty of code snippets on other forums for changing the sound out, i picked one and tried it in a standalone app without the dash stuff, but as you know I was needed else where so haven't had time to look into integrating it all together. But did want to continue it.
