    @Lol4 ,
    thx for the feedback buddy :thumbs
    Afterburner and turbulence work just like RPM, so if RPM works, they should also.
    To be honest, those 3 were the easiest to get running properly.
    So i would be surprised if we have problems with them.

    Thanks for the feedback buddy!

    Can you think of anything else we need for it?
    Maybe a master volume lever?
    (although a external sound card with a volume knob will be so much easier)
    And I'm pretty tired of editing the GUI too. lol

    Beta or not thou, new game plugins are already in motion buddy.

    I believe we are in a good place with GameVibe to start testing other games. :thumbs
    I know its been a long wait, but I think it will prove worth it.
    As all this testing will ensure that lot's of game plugins can support GameVibe.

    Remember to post your Hi/Low settings for a game when you find settings you like.
    It will allow us to compare 'notes' and see what all works best.
    And as we agree on settings, we can build them into GameVibe and be done with setup for that game forever!

    Take care,
    yobuddy

    The new 5hz range is great , i can recreate an earthquake in my house ! :grin

    I have a little problem with the gear shift, i don't have sound / kick with my buttkicker from 0 to N and N to R and vice versa, all other speed works fine , i tried fixing it with the audio setting calibration but no success.o_O maybe it is come from the game i have no idea.

    Can you confirm that the gear in Vibe Tuning Center goes to 0 and -1 when you shift to N and R? I'll have a look but it may be the way @yobuddy handle things in Vibe core.

    The only time you don't get feedback from gear shifting is when you go into natural.
    so (-1 to 0) or (1 to 0), remember N = 0 and R = -1.
    (Or at least that's how its support to work anyway.)
    Maybe someone else could give it a try...

    What bass shakers do you guys have and what is the usable frequency range on them? I have Sinustec ST-BS250 bass shakers and I'm not sure if its them or does my setup play a part, but they only really shake my butt using 23 to 24hz. Therefore I have really narrow RPM range.

    Might be useful to make a thread comparing bass shakers as well. I wouldn't really recommend these ones, I already broke one and the new replacement makes some kind of crackle noise. They were cheap and I still have 3 spares though...

    EDIT: Also in the tutorial @yobuddy mentions only quadraphonic or surround setup. Are there any downsides with having a stereo setup if you are using only 2 shakers? I'm using an external dac and it supports only stereo mode in Windows audio configuration.

    Hi @Jymä
    Try setting it to say 7Hz then increasing the volume slider
    I found if the volume slider was to low once you went past a certain frequency it would no longer shake unless the volume was increased and then earthquake time :grin

    I run two of these - Kinter 500w 12V Mini 2CH HiFi Stereo Car Power Amplifier MP3 Audio Speaker + USB
    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kinter-...789363?hash=item440e4e4fb3:g:V3AAAOSwEzxYdc3L

    With four of these attached - Dayton Audio Puck Tactile Transducer Mini Bass Shaker 8Ohm
    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/The-Puc...089315&hash=item3d0e652a73:g:TvQAAOSwoydWkxFa

    Connected to mother board sound out - GIGABYTE z270 K3

    And

    One of these - Dayton Audio SPA250 250 Watt Subwoofer Plate Amplifier
    https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-spa250-250-watt-subwoofer-plate-amplifier--300-803

    Powering one of these - ButtKicker BK4-4 Advance Home Theater and Gaming Transducer
    https://www.parts-express.com/buttkicker-bk4-4-advance-home-theater-and-gaming-transducer--300-9404

    Connected to this - ASUS Xonar DGX PCI-E 5.1 CH Gaming Sound card Built-in Headphone Dolby Audio PC
    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ASUS-Xonar-DGX-PCI-E-5-1-CH-Gaming-Sound-card-Built-in-Headphone-Dolby-Audio-PC/112586202296?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

    I have found this set up works well, plenty of flexibility for different sounds in different games. I keep the Butt Kicker for the low end rumble and use the pucks for the higher frequency sounds. So for RPM for example the butt kicker goes from 5hz to say 60hz and the pucks go from 20Hz to 80Hz.

    I am still messing around with this set up in game vibe but the results have been pretty amazing so far. I keep going back to Dirt Rally at the moment just because the rumble is amazing. PC2 seems to be missing something now! (I don't have sim vibe).
