Poll - Which motion / tactile software do you use?

[AussieStig]

Hey guys,

I am doing a little research for an article regarding what type of motion / tactile software people are using with their motion rigs.

Which motion / tactile software do you use?

-Simtools
-Simracing Studios
-Simhub
-SimVibe
-Other .........please mention what software you are using.

Could you please vote for the software you are currently using and if you have time, add a comment about your experience and if you have a wish list.

Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, AussieStig

Simracing Studio Intellitune on DOF P3. Great for setting baseline values and can be used in game.

Simhub with a single bass shaker mounted to seat. Awesome for immersion in vr.

I use Simhub but I don't know that I use it well.

SimHub ShakeIt Bass Shakers, using custom effects,
concentrating on useful (rather than immersive or realistic) feedback.
I did not like SimVibe (bundled with Sim Commander for AccuForce),
which IMO did not offer helpful feedback and lacked flexibility.
I use Simracing Studios' ShakeSeat for 4-corner loaded wheel slips,
but got neither their software nor electronics.
In addition to the 4 pucks in that cushion, I have one exciter on the brake pedal
and a pair of exciters at the lower seatback providing horizontal shaking
for unloaded rear wheel slip (e.g lift-off oversteer).

FWIW, these tactile effects are IMO less helpful than active shoulder harness tensioners.

SimHub for my shakers (4 on my seat and 1 under my pedals), SimDash for my 4 fans (either as a wind simulator or as car ventilation, controllable from my button box) and SimTools for my NjMotion Compact-R base.

Simhub for tactile.

 

[Insert Coin]

SimFeedback for motion, SimVibe for my 6 bass shakers.

I used to use SimVive but switched to SimHub.

I switched to SimHub because it is more reliable, but it's evolved and is now more feature rich.

Behringer NX4-6000 tactile amp.
Butt Kicker Concert mounted to my seat
2 x Aura Pros under my isolated foot plate.
1 x Aura Pro mounted to the 40x80 that my H pattern shift is mounted to.

Running SimCommander for my G-Belt.
Running the NLR software for my NLRv3.

Simcommander for : GS-5 , AccuForce, Buttkickers
Simhub : Windsim, Buttkickers
SimFeedback : SFX100 + 4-belt tensioner

Here's the interesting part :

I use both SImHub and SimCommander4 to power my 3 mini LFE's, BK Advance and BK LFE. It turns out that you can easily mix and match the various effects and use both programs together.

SimHub is super easy for controlling the overall volume with a rotary on the centerconsole.

Sim hub, running……
Buttkicker x1 bolted to my sim lab gt1 evo ( under seat)
7” usb dash ( for an array of dash’s)
Led “gearpod”
Led “ flag pod “
23 Buttonbox
Led sequential rev lights
I have been using all this gear on sim hub for just over a year now and I have to say that it completely adds to the immersion and has run faultlessly

 

[ALEXWRC80]

SimHub for my shakers (4 on my seat and 1 under my pedals), SimDash for my 4 fans (either as a wind simulator or as car ventilation, controllable from my button box) and SimTools for my NjMotion Compact-R base.

hello, does not generate conflict simhub with simtools ? I use both and if I launch simhub first I lose movement in the engines....

how does it feel:
amazing, tactile and motion is a great match, things motion cannot doe tactile does, and same in the other direction

wishlist:
curb effect in ACC, no joke, but this is the only thing i am missing on tactile
