    Well we now have the new Grid Autosport released. I love Grid 2 and the Dirt series on my motion sim, and I would love to add Grid Autosport to it as well. I assume it should be similar to the other codemasters titles.

    Is there a chance at looking into this?

    Thanks!

    Looks like it is putting the config files right where you would expect: C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\GRID Autosport\hardwaresettings\hardware_settings_config.xml

    EXE Name that runs is GRIDAutosport_avx.exe and GRIDAutosport.exe

    I have attached the renamed XML as well in case you need/want it.

    Let me know if you need anything else!

    Here is the test plugin, please test and tune in the Min and Max Values in the Tuning Centre. Then if you can provide a copy of your min and max values I can add this to the plugin to make it a base. Thank you, BTW have fun.

    P.S once we have it sorted I will remove the plugin from here and post it in our resource section.
    Sorry admin would like it tested first then I will move it, please leave it where it is till tested, as I don't want resources in the section that are bad.

    Sorry plugin removed , now just waiting for report back from testers, thanks, if all ok I will upload the plugin to the resource section, Thanks for testing guys.

    I looks like Grid Autosport is worth trying out since they got some common sense again and put cockpit view back in! :)

    Just finished testing it. All looks good, but it tries to point to Grid 2's folder for the plugin install. Changed that up and it patches and works like a dream! Really decent feedback as well. Great Job!

    I really like that there is essentially 2 cockpit views. A close and far and how they did away with the steering wheel. We all have wheels already. No more misaligned double vision

    I can't get the game manager to recognise the game starting? No errors when installing plugin, and patching went fine - hardware settings file seems to be updated OK.

    The process in Task Manager seems to be the same as mentioned above...

    Running Windows 8.1
    Any suggestions what to check?
