    Hey mates, now i had time to check again. On LFS it works perfectly! ;D yeah! I did'nt had to change any settings. I think, now gamevibe is configured exactly.
    After that, i tested my target sim, assetto corsa. And that did'nt work. But, because LFS worked, that said me, the reason must be the AC plugin. I removed the patch from the game and reinstalled the plugin. After that, i repatched AC and.....oh wonder, now it works! Fantastic! The only sad thing, and the most reason because i wanted the gamevibe is, the road detail (i want to feel the gras and curbs). On LFS it works, but on AC not. All other vibes on AC seem's to work. I use the AC plugin v.2.0.7.0

    I have to play with the settings..

    @Bastiuscha,
    for AC the road detail Hi/Low values probably just need to be fiddled with.

    Does AC startup properly for you also?
    (can you start GameVibe before you launch the game?)

    I had no response...nothing. Like it's deactivated. I tested different settings.

    Yes i can start gamevibe befor i launch the game...BUT...i found another problem. GameDash don't work anymore, if GameVibe is running. I tested only on AC. Tomorrow i will test for you, is it on LFS the same. Or maybe i can found the problem. I will inform you. :thumbs

    Hey yobuddy, i did for you an exact test now, like promissed. I can tell you, on LFS, it works perfect now! I only needed the latest versions of all and thats it. Here GameVibe is amazing. And it feels really good, to drive over curbs or gras. Really no problems, like a ready Tool. :thumbs

    With Assetto Corsa: i have big problems...i think, the reason is the plugin himself. If i start GameVibe, the values don't arrive GameDash anymore (it seems to be). On GameDash i use only WindSim. I can see the value goes to 0. That is a confirmation, that that tool detect the simulation and will work. But that value all the time stay at 0. And the next problem with GameVibe himself: many times, it stops with a windows message "this application don't work anymore". Sometimes not...and if that is the case, my first called problem is happen. And the Vibrationsounds only on every 10-15 try's are working. Then all vibes except the road detail!..I can't still bring that to work.

    I think, for the moment, i can't do anything. Do i have the right versions of the rest?
    GameDash: v2.1
    GameVibe: B40
    AC_GamePlugin: 2.0.7.0

    Hope, i can help mate!!! You do an awesome job :) If you need some other tests, just tell me.

    Hello to all.
    A question about Game Vibe.

    I did not understand one thing: using 4 transducers (one for each quadraphonic channel), on each one of them the same effects come together mixed?

    Is it possible to use only 2 channels (front right and left, for example), or is it necessary to use 4?
    I ask this because at the moment I only have two transducers and a stereo amplifier.

    Thank you very much ;)

    @ilbiga
    Look at the Vibe Creator page.
    Its where you set how the effect sounds and where it is played.
    Take care,

    The more I read about gamevibes, the more I'm likely to jump over it :)
    I'm even wondering if gamevibes coud replace my 2DOF which is still not finished after 18 month..... maybe gamevibe could allow me to enjoy more quickly games + sim feeling ?
    I'm starting to look at "affordable" approaches based on this kind of setup (french site, sorry):
    https://www.audiophonics.fr/fr/vibr...-1-bass-shaker-vibreur-50w-4-ohm-p-10942.html
    https://www.audiophonics.fr/fr/modu...a7498-class-d-4-x-100-watt-6-ohm-p-10475.html
    https://www.audiophonics.fr/fr/alim...-dalimentation-decoupage-200w-36v-p-6707.html (would be enough with 4*50W bass shaker)
    and a case.
    A sound card (any affordable recommended ? ) and here we go !!
    Have I missed something ?

    It should be there automaticly, after you install the plugin. Close all Simtools Apps and drag&drop the plugin file to the extra pluginupdater tool.

    If you mean you have no games listed in GameVibe, the first time you connect it to Game manger, it will list all the game plugins you have installed.
    Take care,

    GameVibe Startup bug fixed!
    Turned out GameEngine was just miss cuing it. (took forever to find o_O)
    (It was telling GameVibe to turn the volume off, when volume should have been on.)
    All fixed in SimTools v2.2.5! (out soon!)

    The missing link finally. Thank you Yobody!
    Motion & vibration(sound) all in one interface!
    Would be great to see some pictures of your sound system set-ups.
    Anybody has experience with a quadraphonic setup?

    hello , installed gamevibe OK with all setting (soundcard setup, vibe creator tuning center) all seem OK . all test OK with vibration.
    BUT there is no vibration once in a game session. I tested iracing and AC. any suggestion? It is like mute once in a game.


    (for info, i use game vibe on a second PC. IP adress is OK)
    (simtools is updated , plugins are up to date also)

    I wanted to add some info. I was able to fix . Indeed, it was on mute , i have noticed the bunch of crosses on which if you click on it it become logo of loudspeakers. i knew i was missing some spudid thing.
    anyway, i am an old user of sim vibe (7 channels) and also simtools for about 7 years. I can say both softwares are nice. gamevibe has an edge (or maybe several ) of being part of simtools and more importantly run on my second PC where i had installed 2 extra sound card. That second PC is an old dinosaur but handles a bunch peripherals to help alleviate the load of the primary PC that handels game only. it seems to be a very light program also
    i am very pleased of how game gamevibe react
    thx Yobuddy!

    same problem here... try open gamevibe AFTER game. Ex: open asseto, put in a race, alt tab and then open vibe
