hi
i have work again on bassshaker profiling.very good work with slider now.its many better as befor by my.curbs and bumps are the same slider.the slider on the top with f are for frequecy.with v for volume.i have a ibeam bassshaker.this are my settings in the basshaker plugin

Bassshaker plugin

I am very interested for feetback

hi nima,thanks for the profile. works better than 24.3.11 feels better the bumps,curbs,engine and brake but is diferent feel.
when i connect the shaker to the center/sub and works only with the sound card the feel is diferent.only i feel the high revolutions and low rev ,per example witch any car in 5th gear/80kms/h when i open gas.and i go out track,pianos(curbs)..

my english is not the better por explain me sorry :-(

in this video in the 0,05 this sound i wanna feel this whith the profile.

hi popeyin
what car do you drive ? what is your shaker and amp?your amp or soundcard limit
the frequency?

[Nima]

on the video is f1 my profil is for the mazda and is only for 8000 rpm and 250 kmh
hi rpms have not many vibration.you mast test with sound the bassshaker is only a boost for the sound.

hi,i have the Earthquake mini-quake
Frequency Response: 15 - 200Hz
Nominal Impedance: 8 Ohm
Power Handling: Up to 300 Watts
and
Earthquake XJ-300R Digital Amplifier
•Class "J" powered Mono Block
•Phase: 0-180°
•Crossover: 50Hz - 160Hz
280 watts RMS @ 4-Ohm
i have soundblaster audigy2 Zs platinum for the game and motherboard card for the shacker.
i try with mazda mx5 and Star Mazda

what is the crossover on your amp in the moment?set on 160 Hz.

This seems to be very different with each combination of ButtKicker and Amp. Even changing the volume level on an amp can make the difference between what feels like an organized V8 rumble and unordered vibrations.

I'm thinking to build an experimental function into the Commander that can listen to a generated test vibration via the microphone and attempt to automatically tune this for any amp / bass transducer.

After some more checking, I think this can be done with a Fast Fourier Transform and the proper filters to ignore background noise. The problem is that there is no way for me to interface to the Bass Shaker plugin to adjust the Hz and volume settings in it. I can only adjust the overall volume of the sound card and use a fixed min and max Hz in the plugin. Since the goal is to arrive at a mechanism that feels similar regardless of amp and bass transducer, I am not sure if this will be sufficient. More testing is needed and volunteers who have a microphone and bass shaker would be needed to report their results. Given past group efforts here, I'm guessing that won't be happening

Does anyone know if the Bass Shaker plugin is buffering? It seems like it is on some kind of buffer and sometimes the sounds are delayed. I'm not sure if it is related, but after a time of testing with it, iRacing starts to studder.

Nima, Great work! Quick question: if I want to use xSim for both the Bass shaker AND Fanatec wheel, do I need a profile that incorporates both. Right now I have both Bass SHaker and Fanatec checked in the Force Profiler, and am using your very nice profile for the Bass Shaker. Seems to work, but do you have a profile that incoporates both the Bass Shaker and the Fanatec wheel?

Also, I got a "Out of memory" error on xsim, and it shut down in the middle of racing. I am using the White Paper version of xsim, but on the same PC as iRacing. I would like to avoid a second PC if possible.

Keep up the great work!

Mike
