Dirt Rally not working with Game Dash

I'm using game dash for my speed based fans only.

So far every race game works, except Dirt Rally.

I have approached the installation for DR the same as all other working titles:

-Installed the plug-in
-Patched the game
-Checked the dash settings in game manager
-Set the correct values in game dash

The settings of my hardwaresettingsconfig.xml in the Mygames/Dirt Rally folder




Setting in Simtools

Settings in game dash


Simdash starts but every digit in the dashes stays at zero.

Since i'm not using motion, i have made no adjustments in Game Engine at all.
I have followed the same process for all race games and they all work, except Dirt Rally.

I already have done:
- Steam integrity check of DR
- Reinstalled the DR plug-in
- Start the game without Simcommander (which i need for my AccuForce)
- Port forwarding to 4123 with SC4
- Tried codemasters proxy server


I really hope that @SilentChill, @Pitt or @RaceRay can help me out.

I know this a stab in the dark but have you tried setting a DirtRally profile up in game engine ?

Hi Craig

I haven't tried setting up a Dirt Rally profile in game engine.

Because i don't have motion, game engine just runs in the background but i haven't made any adjustments or profile in Game Engine. All other games work fine without profile in game engine.
If i do create profile, what settings to i need to adjust.?

I assume that i should create a preset here, but i'm totally in the dark with what settings i should create a preset.

No sorry thinking about it your right you don't need to do that

Try this

Code:

<motion_platform>
               <udp enabled="true" extradata="1" ip="127.0.0.1" port="4123" delay="1" />
        <udp enabled="true" delay="1" port="20777" ip="127.0.0.1" extradata="1" />

Edit: The dbox option doesnt make a difference dont know why mine is enabled tbh lol

Ok guys today i

- reinstalled Dirty Rally
- completely deleted the Mygames/Dirt Rally folder
- reïnstalled simtools and all plug-ins
- reïnstalled gamedash

I installed the Dirt Rally plugin. Patched the hardwaresettingsconfig.xml and changed the dbox enabled setting to true

And it worked



Big thanks to @SilentChill and @stevemontuno for trying to help me out. I'm not sure if the dbox setting does anything or not, but everything is working now, so i'm not changing a thing anymore.

Yay awesome glad you got it working

Nice one dude ,,,,

The problem is back

A couple of weeks ago my pc died when i pressed the reset button. Had to install everything. Now everything works fine again except........... Dirt Rally.

Again no wind and the dash only shows zeros at start up. I even copied the hardwaresettingconfig.ini from my old installation into the mygames/dirt/hardwaresettings folder, but no go

Reïnstalled the plugin's, the game, simtools........... no sure what to do now??

Have you Enabled Dash Output and set the IP address correctly?

Yes i did. Just checked it again to be sure.

Followed every step

Did some further testing this evening, with the hardwaresettingconfig.xml file from the previous installation that worked fine:

- Simcommander (GS4): Works
- Platform manager (NLMv3) : Works
- Dashmeter pro : Works
- Simdash (windsim) : Does not work

To test if the data output on port 4123 works, i have changed the port settings in the dashmeter pro settings ini file to 4123 and DMP works fine.

Prelimenary conculusion is the hardwaresettingsconfig.xml is configurated correct and only simtools + simdash is not working. All dashes remain at zero.

All other games work fine and have the wind sim that i love so much.

Actually this is what the plugin is supposed to do in the first place. Strange, that you had to enter this manually…
