Question SimTools 2.2?

I'm not sure i understand?
why try to use an Arduino as a sound card?
What would the advantage be?

To be honest, When I use the filter with traction loss, it seems to work fine?
Maybe PM me with how your getting the steppiness plz buddy.

I'm not sure an Arduino could make the possible 14 channels of sound needed should you go all out.
Just seems like a sound card is the tool for the job?

Hi Everyone,
After a very long weekend, I believe I have finished SimTools v2.2 and GameVibe.
Both SimTools v2.2 and GameVibe even scale correctly now for any dpi and font size i throw at them.
And I am 100% done with testing SimTools v2.2, and I am very happy with it!

I have done more testing on GameVibe than i would ever admit. lol
I believe I'm about done with all the testing I need to do before public consumption.
I can only really think of 3 more things to go over.

1) I re-wrote the audio plugins tonight to be as fast as possible.
I need to test them out to make sure i did not make any stupid mistakes.
2) I got 3D Collisions working.
It may need some fine tuning, but its really pretty cool.
Both the Collision L/R (Sway) & Collision F/B (Surge) flip flop to the side they get struck from.

For example a collision to the front/right corner, would cause then to both fire at a given %.
With the Collision L/R (Sway) flipping to the right side.
And with the Collision F/B (Surge) flipping to the front.
Giving a nice 3D Collision effect.

I need to test this out with profiling to make sure it scales correctly and places the bumps on the right side (as often as possible) even when 'profiling' a input value.

3) I need to re-test the 3D Chassis setup with the new bump detection routine i made for it.
And make sure it still works as i intend it too.
So a bit more testing to do on this.
I can't see it being much longer guys!
As soon as i get this all done, I'll have a couple of people test drive it looking for any stupid mistakes.
And then open the public beta.

No worries, as GameVibe is completely configurable to any type of setup.

Made stupid mistakes & fixed stupid mistakes, Part 1 is done!.

Basically, you would plug your setup into another sound card attached to the same PC.
I don't see a need for the crossover thou, as we can adjust how each sound outputs.
But i can't see it hurting anything either?

So instead of simply playing all low end frequency's from the game on the kicker.
(All the stuff we want to feel, but also allot of stuff we don't)
We now can select some Vibe's (sound effects) that make sense for our setups.
Dial in how we think each Vibe (sound) should play like. (Vibe Creation)
And then set the boundaries of when the Vibe should play (according to the incoming game data).
Giving us the clean 'rips' we are looking for.

I'll have to write up a manual of sorts to get everyone started.
As there may be a bit of a learning curve to it (much like SimTools itself).

I will probably limit the amount of frequency range we have at first, as i can always expand it without breaking anyone's settings.
If I want to lower them, then everyone would have to reinstall to play it safe.
(or you may get a value out of bounds errors on load)

Take care,
