    I just tried Project Cars with SimTools 2.1 and this problem is still there.

    It is a bit different now. The Session State is a number now.

    if you start a race based on time or start a career race then everything works fine, but if you start a race based on laps then it only works if you have the laps set between 9 and 13. In practice it works fine and the session state is 1, in a timed race or 9-13 lap race it works fine and the session state is 5, but if you set it to some other amount of laps then the session state is 0 and it stops outputting any data to GameDash.

    Practice, career, timed races and 9-13 lap races all work fine. Any other amount of fixed laps won't work.

    This is using the standard plugin. I haven't tried the UDP one yet so I don't know if the same bug is in the UDP plugin.

    I've found a workaround:
    -Duplicate the .exe file and rename it to pCARS.exe, create a shortcut to desktop, create a pCARSOculus64.exe shortcut aswell, and place both on desktop.
    Open pCARSOculus64, wait 1 second and open pCARS.exe, it will display "game already running", leave it that way. Game manager should be turned ON now.

    This should also work for other games with the same problem.
    Good luck!

    A better way to do it is to just use something that you can leave open, like make a copy of CMD.exe or Notepad.exe, rename it to pCARS.exe and then just leave it running in the background. Then you can just launch the Oculus version of pCARS as normal.

    As long as that Notepad or CMD window is open then SimTools will think pCARS is running so you can just launch as normal.

    You can even write a batch file that will launch the newly renamed Notepad then launch the real game

    I have used this trick for heaps of games before official support comes out, like codemasters games and American Truck Sim

    Hi value1,

    i like your plugins and they are working very well with pcars and pcars2. Is it possible to generally disable the movement during a replay?

    Great work.
