    Hey!
    Is it possible to have Simtools motion and FanaLEDs work at the same time in F1 2017?

    hardware_settings - option A - FanaLEDs works - Motion not:
    <udp enabled="true" sendRate="60" port="30500" ip="127.0.0.1" broadcast="false"/>
    <led_display sliProForceBrightness="127" sliProNativeSupport="false" fanatecNativeSupport="false"/>

    hardware_settings - option B - Motion works - FanaLEDs not:
    <udp enabled="true" sendRate="60" port="20777" ip="127.0.0.1" broadcast="false"/>
    <led_display sliProForceBrightness="127" sliProNativeSupport="false" fanatecNativeSupport="false"/>

    I can change the 'port' setting in-game which changes the support from FanaLEDs to Motion or vica versa.
    I changed the 'port'-setting within the software of FanaLEDs to 20777, but this doesn't help...

    Thanks in advance!

    try this buddy,
    <udp enabled="true" sendRate="60" port="20777" ip="127.0.0.1" broadcast="false"/>
    <udp enabled="true" sendRate="60" port="30500" ip="127.0.0.1" broadcast="false"/>
    <led_display sliProForceBrightness="127" sliProNativeSupport="false" fanatecNativeSupport="false"/>

    if it does not work try this please,
    <udp1 enabled="true" sendRate="60" port="20777" ip="127.0.0.1" broadcast="false"/>
    <udp enabled="true" sendRate="60" port="30500" ip="127.0.0.1" broadcast="false"/>
    <led_display sliProForceBrightness="127" sliProNativeSupport="false" fanatecNativeSupport="false"/>

    I believe it should work.
    Take care,
    yobuddy

    Tried both options (and the option: <upd0... <upd1... )
    No luck...

    The game probably reads both lines of code, but than re-writes the file with only the second (last) line.
    So with the options you've mentioned only FanaLEDs is working; port 30500.
    (again after adjusting the port-option in-game to 20777; the motion works and the leds don't)


    Update:
    Found this info on the codemasters forum: I will test tomorrow:

    YES! It works :)

    Steps:
    - Download: "CodemastersProxyServer_v2.4.3.4" (see attachment)
    - Change Windows properties of "CMPX64.exe" (right click file/properties/compatibility)
    * run program in compatibility mode: windows 8 (Because I run Windows 10)
    * run program as administrator
    - Start "CMPX64.exe" (default opens minimized)
    - Right click on icon and choose "options..."
    - Change default: "Main Proxy UDP Port" to 20771
    * (therefore you don't need changes within Simtools and FanaLEDs)
    - Add (+) "Device UDP Port" 20777 with API 4 (for motion with Simtools)
    - Add (+) "Device UDP Port" 30500 with API 4 (for FanaLEDs)
    - Close the "Options" and exit the tool.
    - Change the file: hardware_settings_config of the game F1 2017
    * Default location: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\F1 2017\hardwaresettings
    * Change these lines:
    <udp enabled="true" broadcast="false" ip="127.0.0.1" port="20771" sendRate="60" />
    <led_display fanatecNativeSupport="false" sliProNativeSupport="false" sliProForceBrightness="127" />
    - Run FanaLEDs and Simtools
    - Run CMPS64.exe
    - Run F1 2017 and enjoye :)

    note: Always remember to run CMPS64.exe when playing ;)

    For it to work with F1 2018 change the UDP settings as followed:

    - Change the file: hardware_settings_config of the game F1 2018
    * Default location: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\F1 2018\hardwaresettings
    * Change these lines:
    <udp enabled="true" broadcast="true" ip="127.0.0.1" port="20771" sendRate="60" format="legacy" />
    <led_display fanatecNativeSupport="false" sliProNativeSupport="false" sliProForceBrightness="127" />

    GameVibe, Motion and Fanaleds works all together.
