    Hi,

    I am not sure if this helps the developer of the plugin but I get this error every time I exit rFactor and the Game Manager crashes. I have a vanilla rFactor2/SimTools setup but added the rFactor2 plugin and Game Dash.


    See the end of this message for details on invoking
    just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

    Hi,

    I have two questions regarding this brilliant plugin.

    - Can the ShiftUp & ShiftDown properties be used as shift indicators? What are these properties for?
    - What can be the problem if the plugin does not seem to work at all? On my home computer the plugin icon ( top left corner ) does not show up at all - and hence no data gets reported in Game Dash.

    Best

    Did you patch the game at home?
    Yes, the ShiftUp turns on when the RPM are above the MaxRPM. That's the way, the shift light is defined in rFactor2.
    The ShiftDown goes on, when the RPM is below 20% of MaxRPM. This is just my definition
    ;)

    Hi,

    Yes I did patch and got a "success" message. I really have no idea what could be wrong. I even uninstalled everything and installed again ( the game, the plugins and Game Dash ). I can't image what I am doing wrong because it isn't exactly rocket science to install it :) I will try to patch again.

    Great to know that I can use these two properties for my shift lights. However, I guess it would be super useful for those that are using LEDs to create an RPM indicator if your plugin would output "mEngineMaxRPM". I saw the following code in the example rFactor2 InternalsPlugin so the game must be reporting it.

    // Vehicle status
    fprintf( fo, "Gear=%d RPM=%.1f RevLimit=%.1f\n", info.mGear, info.mEngineRPM, info.mEngineMaxRPM );
    fprintf( fo, "Water=%.1f Oil=%.1f\n", info.mEngineWaterTemp, info.mEngineOilTemp );
    fprintf( fo, "ClutchRPM=%.1f\n", info.mClutchRPM );


    I am not sure what mClutchRPM does but it sounds useful. I also thought that it would be useful if our Arduinos could know which car is being driven. Then we could have the Arduino customize its output based on the car.

    fprintf( fo, "Vehicle=%s\n", info.mVehicleName );

    I wish I knew C++ because then I would be happy to help you with the plugin. But unfortunately I am really bad at C++!

    Question about 64bit.

    I'm now testing the 64bit unstable version of rfactor 2, is there a 64bit update planned ?

    With the release of Build 770 this week rFactor 2 goes definitely 64bit.

    Is a 64bit plugin to be expected or are you guys working on such a plugin ?

    First of all great work for releasing this plugin so fast :cheers

    I have a little trouble with unwanted movement of the simulator.

    When parked in the garage the seat has unwanted movement. (same as in the early days of Simtools). Every few seconds the seat shakes a bit. when a car drive into me will parkes in the garage the seat moves (very realistic, but very unwanted :grin )
    The movement becomes worse and more often when I select and view another driver.
