    @Outatime,
    Hi Buddy,
    Looks like @value1 has some math in there a bit above my head. lol
    I bet we could add raw heave output to one of the extra un-used slot if needed thou.
    Take care,

    If it would be possible to do that without throwing the 'nan' value it would be awesome as that seems to be what is causing all the problems with the smoothing filter.

    There is a "Custom UDP" mode for newer Codemasters games (e.g. DiRT 4 and newer). It let's you specify not only gforce lateral and gforce longitudinal but also gforce vertical.
    Maybe this could resolve the issue? @yobuddy: More details here.

    Hello,
    For my part, I still have the problem with the game engine that stops after pausing the Dirt game even if i set the smooth parameter of the heave to OFF.
    On the other hand the game vibe always turns...
    I have to stop the game engine, wait about 5 seconds, and restart when dirt is in action.
    This is not practical, especially in VR where you have to lift the helmet in full play to restart the machine!
    I hope this will be elucidated.
    Again, how can I help save everyone's time?

    Are you running Intensity on 100% if you are not then that filters the heave, so make sure smoothing is off on heave axis and make sure intensity is at 100%

    I had check that, but the problem is always here.
    If i finish a stage, game engine work fine without to stop and start it.
    but it's not the case if i make a pause and resume the game, here i ha ve to stop/wait/restart the game engine after resume the game.
    thanks anyway for your help.

    I only had that behaviour if there was some sort of filtering on the heave, but it happens both if you lower intensity and if you specifically add the smoothing to the heave axis... Not sure what is going on in your case then...

    Hi all
    Can you try this plugin? This plugin should fix the heave issue.

    • Unpatch the game.
    • Load the plugin new with the Plugin Updater.
    • Patch the game with this plugin.
    • Check, if there is only one entry "port="4123" in the <motion_platform> paragraph of the file C:\Users\"User"\Documents\My Games\DiRT Rally 2.0\hardwaresettings\hardware_settings_config.xml.
    Thank you for your feedback!

    Thank you for your feedback @kastiel. Good to hear it's working fine in normal mode. The VP thing will be fixed in a second step soon :)

    Hi,

    I have tried the new patch but movements were all wrong now.
    Can you post a screenshot of your axis assignment in GameEngine please ?

    I have tried to set different axis order but I gave up and returned to the previous plugin.

    Thanks.

    Hi, I have enough tested the new plugin proposed by value1 to say that it works perfectly with VR.
    I still had to review the direction of my axes that were being reversed.
    Now, I do not need to struggle between my VR helmet, the game in progress and the restart of the "game engine"!
    TOP thanks
    (Ps: i have not tested yet the 2.0.3.0 version...but i guess it will be ok)

    Version 2.0.3.0 works perfectly in VR (oculus).
    I tested with and without the "smooth" on the "heave" and it's all good!
    Thanks again!
