    Hey guys.

    Was happy with dirt rally until it somehow stopped doing heave and surge - i then googled the issue, and tons of resolutions came up; none of which worked.

    It seems to me by looking at the forum + other spots, that this is still an unresolved issue. Cant anyone fix this so we can get the best rally game presently working on simtools with motion (3dof)

    ?

    For some people work fine, for some don't.

    I am like you, none of the suggested fixes didn't help. Surge force has a lot of high spikes and vibrations, even when standing still on the road - the car shakes a lot.

    Dirt Rally 2 will be out soon (Feb. 26th) and hopefully we won't have the same problem there..

    Hey - i appreciate you taking the time.

    It just seems weird to me; we have simtools, a pretty advanced program which makes alot of people build their own systems costing quite a bit of time and cash; And then we have Dirt Rally, a game that supports motion, but where something in it fails, and noone can figure it out.

    Just seems weird.

    If its the game itself what do you expect people here to do? It working then suddenly not indicates it was just updated? Anyway if it needs to and can be fixed it will be given patience.

    it has been an issue since 2017. Patience isnt the issue :)

    But yes, if the problem is in dirt itself then yeah i can see that can be hard to fix - it just seems to me like the issue is with simtools actually. But what do i know.. anyways

    Hi Guy's,
    Unfortunately It's the game itself that is the problem.
    It seems to happen when you TAB out of the game and back in.
    I have seen people fix it by simply changing their resolution and then switching it back.

    With that said, i have never had a problem.
    But i constantly have the game in windowed mode for testing purposes.
    You could try dropping into windowed mode and back and see what happens.

    Take care,
    yobuddy

    I can't get Dirt Rally to work at all with any plugin, I've just given up on it and will now have to wait for DR 2 vr edition.

    It's definitely the game itself and related to the graphical output. I absolutely cannot get it to work if I'm using it on a monitor but it works fine for me in VR mode. Same symptoms as here where the surge/heave axis stops outputting correct data.
