SimShaker - Wheels beta version 2.41 published

Hi guys,
this version features a couple of improvements for F1 2018 game:

1. added telemetry UDP port selector in order to provide better compatibility with other apps, using telemetry data. You can find it at Game Specific Settings tab;
2. added Wheel Slip effect.

Let's give it a try!

SimShaker - Wheels beta version 2.40 published, featuring F1 2018 support

Hi guys,
last week I concerned myself with F1 2018 telemetry, trying to provide better effects for this game. Finally I decided to use its "Legacy" (i.e. 2017-wise) telemetry format, at least yet, since with format "2018" I've encountered some strange drop-outs in acceleration related data. Therefore, if you want to use SimShaker - Wheels v 2.40 with F1 2018 game, please, set Format in game UDP telemetry settings to Legacy, but not 2018. Port should stay 20777, IP address in most cases should be 127.0.0.1.

In this version I've tried to make SimShaker - Wheels to be friendly for sharing UDP port 20777 with other F1 2018 applications, but success or fail depends on the other applications behaviour as well.

Currently are available 8 effects for F1 2018:

• Engine Beat;
• Gear Shift;
• Damage (wings and exhaust)*;
• Road Bums / Surface (based on suspension velocity data);
• Acceleration / Deceleration Longitudinal;
• Acceleration Lateral.

* - I've decided to  omit damage data for engine, gear box and tyres since the way they are provided by the game currently doesn't let me to provide a good effect.

Other improvements: added 4 Tires Wear effect forced stop when simulation is finished where this effect is provided.

Let's give it a shot and happy racing!

SimShaker - Wheels beta version 2.39 published

Hi guys,
new in this beta version:

• 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.
• 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.
• Game Mode Selection added to Advanced Tab. By default it's set to "Auto".
• rFactor-wise games (rFactor 1/2, AMS, Stock Car Extreme): Wheel Slip/Wear effect  is re-factored to process all 4 wheels data in order to provide better accuracy. Currently it's called 4 Tire Wear effect. See also this my post.
• Project CARS 1/2: added 4 Tire Wear effect, based on 4 wheels telemetry data processing. 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.

Let's give it a shot!

* - 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.
