    Thanks for your help Noorbeast. Apologies for my late reply.
    So I got it finally running after the update of Simtools and re-install of Gamevibe.
    I tried to run Simvibe without my motion on, and that doesn’t work.Tthis took me a few hours to find out. Gamevibe only seems to work with my actuators powered on. Is this due to the com port error thats generated by Game Engine?
    Is there a way to run GameVibe without my actuators on?
    Also another thing i noticed is that in tuning centre i sometimes can’t save. And the game name is greyed out in the profile editor.

    The button top left corner of Game Manager can be used to turn the actuators off.

    what would be the expected feel difference between chassis vibes and road detail. I'm still trying to figure out the fine-tuning for each but I can't really tell the difference between the two

    Have you seen this @Escartiz?
    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/gamevibe-manual.11358/#post-147079

    Chassis can be 3D is the big one here.
    Little more info...
    Chassis - can be run in 2D or in 3D when used with multiple transducers.
    When in 3D with a 4 transducers setup, each corner plays as a ‘shock’ on the vehicle.
    Creating a pretty cool 3D effect thats better to just experience that be told about.

    Road Detail - can be used to simulate a nice road noise effect or even to simulate bumps on the road.
    (Just depends on how you tune it in the Tuning Center.)

    Take care,
    yobuddy

    Hi, afterburners are when the car slides from front or rear?

    Had the same problem with F1 22 a few days ago. When I changed the UDP signal from 2022 to 2018 the labels changed to "rpm" and so on. So i guess it shows "GameVibe1" when it dont recieve the correct signals or signals at all.

    So I was trying to get it to work with Forza Horizon 5. You're saying I have to be in the game transmitting a signal on the UDP for those options to show up or change?

    When you have transmitted once I think you save high and low on the profile for that game, and then its "locked". Not sure, but I have all values and lables now when i select game profile without game running.

    Hi, does somebody know why I have sometimes uggly "beep" sounding like on an old gameboy console, when several bass frequency effects are triggered at the same time? I mean, is it a normal behavior that several bass frequency effects become a higher frequency wave?
    If somebody has already experienced that, thank you for help ;)

    ohey guys.... i have to try gamevibe because i want some vibrations in MFS2020 ... its kind of .... interesting ..but very laborious to configure it ... and also a bit restricted with the effects.

    dont get me wrong its fantastic what you guys have done with this software, but for racing games i prefer simhub, its so easy to configure and tweak the vibrations AND i have the full range of the sound card in my case i have 8 Channels (in a 7.1 sound card) - i use 7 of them at the moment . unfortunately simhub has only profiles for the racing games and not flight simulators :(

    is there a possibility to get a fully configured profile for games in gamevibe ? or do i have to do it by myself complete manually ?

    In this case, you have to config manually.
    If you want a great profile for MSFS or any flight game, buy SIMSHAKE. Its a great software with HIGH DETAIL configs for aviators!!

    Guys, I would like to use GameVibe (again), installed it (v.2.0) but get a crash when I try to save the soundcard setup. The SlimDX.dll is not found.
    Where do I need to place it (in which folder) ?
    Currently it is in my GameVibe install folder: C:\Windows\Program Files\GameVibe

    Ok, here another q:
    I have only 2 buttkickers, one on the front, the other on the back of my rig (as left and right speaker of my amplifier)
    Is it possible to spread e.g. "collision" vibe to the front (left speaker) or to the right (right speaker) when I get damage/collision at the front or rear/back ?

    Game Vibe and do front to back collision (surge).

    To quote the first post of this thread:

    Collision     - can be run in 2D or in 3D when used with multiple transducers.
    When in 3D with a 4 transducers setup, each Collision effect jumps to the side it gets struck from.
    This creates a nice 3D effect when you collide with another object.

    Ok, thanks @noorbeast, but the setup of a soundcard in the first posts are really old. I have not seen any quadrophonic setup in Windows10. I am just using an inbuilt soundcard with my minipc, so 2D setup.
    Hence I just want to simulate front hit / back hit.
    Possible ?
