Ah gotcha. Could be more attention in refining the response of certain cars than others.
To correct some points mentioned and to inform people, one point to take note of here is that tactile can very much be an explorative and time-consuming d.i.y thing.
Due to family/personal matters from last/this year, I have stepped back from being involved with tactile across various communities. No longer getting involved. My own work with it, certainly still continues but with a focus now on my own rig and not others.
I've had pretty extensive workings, looking at ways to create better tactile sensations via Simhub over the last few years.
The closed discussion was free, with no paywalls whatsoever, and was primarily done to cover two things.
1) Help people with various budget tactile configurations to test/comment on and enjoy some examples of effects compared to the standard effects Simhub offers. One of the requests for people to enjoy these effects was to give me feedback or help to improve them.
2) Highlight to people interested, one solution I have experience with that offers the potential for a
more immersive and extensive tactile for multiple body regions, capable of utilizing multilayer and multiple transducer/exciter unit installations and offering a much wider dynamic range with frequencies.
Here is what happens, people will ask for the effects, stating they will give feedback but the majority of people once they get what they want, or find that it does the job well enough for them. Are not interested in helping or further testing. In the group some could not even be bothered to communicate/discuss with others at all. So why should I continue to spend hours working on effects or monitoring the generated frequencies with combinations of effects that work better together?
One other aspect is, that even though budget hardware has certain restrictions, it does not stop people then trying to use effects developed "for a specific arrangement of hardware" that I worked on, but instead with their own hardware and installations.
Said people will not get the sensations from these effect as they are meant to be experienced and that then causes people to give false impressions.
The point in having a recommended configuration and effects developed for it, is so others could achieve from those specifically developed effects the sensations they were meant to generate and over the body via multiple body regions and channels. A solid type of race seat was the primary goal for such. My approach with effects, was unique, as certain sensations/operations may not have been limited to a single unit/channel like in a traditional approach. Instead, to feel the proper sensation relied on "different specific frequencies" being applied to certain channels.
Lots of things play their part in what a user will feel, the rig materials, the seat, the installation placement, if isolation is used, differences with the output levels based on users applying different soundcards, different amps, different settings. Its all quite a cocktail of variables and this was why an attempt to try to get people involved with helping to test/configure was attempted.
To properly determine how Simhub generates variations from the telemetry/games physics. It is possible to monitor the audio being generated via different cars or parameters within the sim. Monitoring the audio with pro audio tools, can help with understanding of this. It's then possible to make variations of effects to help better suit different people's tastes/hardware or even car-specific "effects profiles" for individual cars.
Sure, lots of people have done videos about Simhub too, but many of those people do not really know what/how some of the settings it has can be used to help control the operation of or know what the generated output is that certain effects deliver or indeed a combination of effects generate.
For me, at the moment a break is needed....
I need to put more of my spare time into finishing my own rig build and enjoy a new PC build I have started.
