    Tell us how dirt Rally 2 makes it work. Step by step how to install dirt2. I've tried to install some time, but I do not understand what should the make / put were going. I have received a game engine and game manager to work in blue when DiRT2 on top of a batch, apparently correctly, I wish you would not even have them installed then oikein.En not a computer geek who understands what you should do.

    I have a Prosimu T1000 3M. I have a 64 bit application. Yes I can find that path in C: \ Users \ Your_User_Name \ Documents \ My Games \ DiRT2 and when I connect Game Engine / Game Manager, Game Manager will show blue during the game but no movement.

    Please post a picture of your axis assignments and a picture of the Tuning Center while DR2 is running.

    No data is getting through to the TC.

    Try temporarily disabling your firewall and anti-virus, to check if either are messing with communications.

    I played didn't work. When I turned off Capture Min Max while the game was on, the dirt went on pause, meaning some band apparently is.

    Try running the game windowed, instead of full screen.

    Check in your
    hardware_settings_config.xml or
    hardware_settings_config_vr.xml if you are using VR,
    found below

    C:\Users\*your username*\Documents\My Games\DiRT Rally 2.0\hardwaresettings

    and make sure that it has this line in there
    <custom_udp enabled="true" filename="SimToolsCustomUDP.xml" ip="127.0.0.1" port="4123" delay="1" />

    example
    <motion_platform>
    <dbox enabled="true" />
    <udp enabled="true" extradata="1" ip="127.0.0.1" port="20777" delay="1" />
    <custom_udp enabled="true" filename="SimToolsCustomUDP.xml" ip="127.0.0.1" port="4123" delay="1" />

    Such were found, whether something needed to be done and how it should be done, if necessary.
    Note. I am not a computer expert.

    Hi @Ipponen
    Replace the line that starts with <custom_udp enabled with the one below

    <custom_udp enabled="true" filename="SimToolsCustomUDP.xml" ip="127.0.0.1" port="4123" delay="1" />

    do it in the VR one as well if you use VR,
    you will need to edit it with notepad or even better notepad++

    let me know if this works :thumbs

    I put the xml file, hopefully right. I tried it didn't work. I ran the race, did not work. I tried to remove the patch but couldn't get it removed manually. I put the patch again, I ran the race, it didn't work.
    Starts going finger to mouth what does that make you work. Are these so hard to get to work.

    When I put in the new patch, then I can't get in touch between the game engine and the game manager. Previously there was a connection. I put the hardware you sent, but did not connect. There will only be an attachment.
