    Hello... I have a question about Project CARS.

    When I launch SimTools Game Manager and I select pCars in Game Selection option, the Game Manager inform me that is Connected (green color) but then, when I do start the game, in the Game Manager the indication of connection changes to gray and Tools Sim can not interface with the game!

    If I close the game the indication of connection in the Game Manager returns of green color!

    how can I fix?

    The Game Manager will always show Green when it is connected to the Game Engine. Only when it connects to the Game does it changes colour (to blue)
    Follow @noorbeast advice, but also check you patched the game correctly and that Game Engine is not crashing / freezing.

    There are 2 Project Cars plugins in the downloads section. One of them is for Project Cars 2 which I believe is a beta version. Maybe check that you are using the correct one.

    OK... thanks for the notices.
    I use the first plugin pCars (no pCars 2) and I have already enabled in Project CARS game the option "Shared Memory"... but SimTools not work! :(

    Some further hint?

    P.S.: of course, it is understood that the game is original (as well as all of my games).

    Sorry for being sarcastic but IMO why you do not ask @prosimu for clearing out this issue? On his website you can read "The simulator management software is very simple to use, in 2 clicks you can play your favorite PC games following", so you should ask him first where to click...

    YES Pit... really you are very sarcastic, but I understand your sarcasm also ;)
    But anyway, I am not for the controversies (veiled or not) and here we are trying to solve a plugin problem that might be useful even to those who build their own no commercial simulator!

    We are not obligated to provide tech support for a commercial product, especially where the manufacturer does not have a commercial SimTools licence, but continues to make sales claims about motion software anyway...that is not sarcasm, or controversy, but rather a fact.

    OK this is true... then satisfy my curiosity: if you have these problems with @prosimu how come you have prosimu.com advertising (banner) on our forum?
    It seems to me a contradiction...

    Google ads present items to individual users on a huge array of web sites based on your own personal browsing history and the profile Google builds about you.

    It has nothing to do with Xsimulator and is just a reflection of the obvious link between yourself and commercial entity you purchased from.

    It can just as easily be equally irrelevant ads like young women, it just depends on the general settings given to Google and the web use of the person Google serves the ads up to.

    I get ads from Frex, Next Level Racing, and Prosimu in the first post on every page in each and every thread I look at and I have for quite some time. What makes you say @noorbeast that they aren’t directly advertising with Xsimulator?

    OK drivers... problems and controversy aside now my Project CARS work fine with SimTools :)
    Only regret now the fact that I can not get the "slight jolt" sensation at every gear change... :mad:

    Try reducing the numbers in the surge section of the tuning centre till you get the gear change kick. If then you find excessive movement under braking tick the box there ( which allows 2 different settings) and increase the appropriate number to diminish the braking effect.

    Dear Rastus the ProSimu rig does not support any surge kicks due to the motor design imo.

    PS: I suggest butt kicker or shakers

    Not really... how come in Assetto Corsa the gear change kick is present and also very obvious?
    I think it's just a profile setting problem... Rastus probably right, so I'll try to do as he suggests :thumbs

    @Pit I thought I read somewhere it used SCN's, even so I would think that 2 motors of any sort that were connected to simtools properly given a surge instruction would move accordingly, otherwise you wouldn't get any other DOF movements. If he's getting Sway , etc
    the motors must be responding when an individual motor gets an instruction to move say up 20° it complies (hopefully) and that movement could be for heave, roll, surge etc. depending what the other motor/s are doing. :cheersMaybe I'm nuts??

    I get ads from AdSense, Ads Master, and direct ads from Xsimulator on this site myself.
    Thanks @Doctor Kruntz for bringing this issue to the forefront. The issue has been resolved and Prosimu’s ad has been terminated due to their at best shady practices and at worst criminal practices. If you get their ads now it will be only if google’s AdSense sends them to you!
