    Hey,
    i am feeling really dumb right now but how do you use this program?? all i want to do is use it to control a virtual dash and virtual wind system. currently i am using dirt 2 to test to see if i can get any outputs but nothing is working. i can get the sender to detect the game but that is it. the dirt2 plugin never detects a race starting and i am having no luck getting any of my test gauges to work. what am i doing wrong?????

    thanks,
    Mez

    I think you will need a control board to get even some action from x-sim, even for dashboard use.
    Perhaps start with this thread arduino-dashboard-wip-t3332.html if you are designing a dashboard. I have not built a dashboard, so I cannot advise, but from what I have read, you will have to get a board onto the x-sim program. I believe the data is there in game though.

    If you are trying to run motors with x-sim, you will definately need a control board.

    If you need instruction to send data for particular game. Go in the Manuel in top right end of profiler interface. Click index and the game for instructions to set up the particular game. You can send data on virtual gauges . For that see also in the index for gauges. Hope this help.
