SimShaker - Wheels version 2.43 published as stable


Hi guys,
finally SimShaker - Wheels stable version is also updated. Here is a change log:

1) 4 Tire Wear effect, based on 4 wheels telemetry data processing, added for RRRE and rFactor-wise games (rFactor 1/2, AMS, Stock Car Extreme) instead of Wheel Slip/Wear effect in order to provide better accuracy. More information you can find in this post.

2) 4 Tire Wear effect added for Project CARS 1/2. Legacy Wheel Slip* effect is still available. I'm not sure you will want to have both effects simultaneously, I suggest you should make a choice and adjust your setting.

3) F1 2018 and Assetto Corsa Competizione support added.

 4) A Rumble Strips effect added for iRacing. The effect is based on Rumble Strips tone data provided by the game.

5) Added telemetry UDP port selector for F1 2017-2018 in order to provide better compatibility with other apps, using telemetry data. You can find it at Game Specific Settings tab;

6) An error in Curbs & Bumpy Terrains enable/disable control is fixed for Project CARS1/2 and rFactor2/AMS.

7) Added checkbox "Sound Card Exclusive Control" in Audio Parameters group. Exclusive control over the sound card by default is now disabled. You may want to enable it back again, since it may reduce latency in the sound card.

8) Activation form minor improvements made: prevention of extra activation spent when Activate button is double clicked; auto trimming of the key field content trailing and leading white spaces.

9) Minor internal changes to prevent application crashing in some circumstances

10) SimShaker - Wheels Launcher window minor GUI changes.

* - for this effect telemetry data inside SSW is still processed by sides, i.e. left side wheels data combined and right side wheels data combined.

As a reminder, you should start SimShaker - Wheels Launcher twice in order to update the application. For the first time the application checks for updates, for the second time - promts you to update.
Happy driving!
