• Master Chip update to R24, Slave Chip stays at R28. Update Instructions in zip file.
   
• Corrects bug in implementation of Engine channel sub wave 1 period. Was previously being set internally equal to the sub wave 2 period. This affected the range of engine vibration feel that could be obtained.
   
• Firmware Zip File Download

27/8/21 - V1.57

• Work-around fix for intermittent GUI seizes added.

27/2/19 - V1.55

• Additional data logging added
   
• Alt D keys to display card data window
   
• Slew Mode now included in stop on pause feature

8/6/18 - V1.5

• Support for new BSH-DRV-2 card (non-COM port comms, new sub-wave amplitude settings, saw-tooth/square vibration wave selection...)
   
• New Wave Tester window
   
• Support for up to 4 engine start/stop shudders
   
• Individual landing gear housing thuds
   
• Individual gear touch-down thumps
   
• Engine vibration resonance effects
   
• ON_at_Startup cfg file parameter to help automate startup procedures

20/2/18 - V1.4e (beta)

• Air Turbulence - Added support for X-Plane
   
• Added GUI font controls to winpos.ini file to allow manual display text size adjustments.
   

13/2/18 - V1.4d (beta)

• Added Air Turbulence vibration feature (Beta version - for FSX/P3D only, no X-Plane version yet). See Appendix 2.
   
• Added additional logging output.
   

2/9/16 - V1.2

• Added support for the BSH-DRV-1 bass shaker driver card.
   
• Added dual instance operation to allow two BSH-DRV-1 cards to be run simultaneously with different vibration settings. See Appendix 1.
   
• Added parameter Pause_Enable to cfg file. This sets the vibration output behaviour (ON/OFF) when the flight sim pauses.
   
• Improved LAN operation; software now does not prompt for confirmation when LAN operation is active.
   
• Improved command line argument function when passing cfg file name.

24/4/15 - Beta26

• Added hot buttons for remote ON/OFF control. See parameters Joy_But, But_Drive and But_Hold in the Setup section of the config files.
  
  This allows buttons on a USB joystick to be set to control ON & OFF remotely. The GUI button LS lists the current joystick on the system by number - to provide assistance when setting parameter Joy_But.
  
  These parameters must be set manually in the configuration file.

1/7/13 - Beta25

• Modified error flag reporting for Pololu driver card errors...

19/4/13 - Beta24

• Added flap transition rumble - uses gear transition rumble settings but operates at half the magnitude.
• Corrected runway bump start/stop issues when aircraft changed.
• Updated/added config files.
• Corrected engine rpm calculations - now differentiates between prop and turbine type engines.
• Set auto-OFF when aircraft goes into crashed or slew mode (FS).
• Other small fixes....

12/4/13 - Beta23

• Corrected vibration scaler sent to cards - B22 produced overly strong amplitudes.
• Added preliminary support for X-Plane - NB XPUIPC offsets.cfg file must be copied to plugins folder.

12/4/13 - First release of BFF Shaker Beta22 software.
