Question Is it possible to make an automatic game manager profile selector?

    Hi,

    I have followed the steps to create a good motion profile and I am pleased with the result. The axis assignment and tuning centre values seem right. I am currently making some game manager profiles to go with the different type of cars (F1, GT, LMP...).

    Now, I was wondering if it is possible to make some kind of program that selects game manager profiles automatically depending on the kind of car I'am using? This way I do not have to go out of the game and I can just choose a car and always have a fine motion profile :)

    If I am not mistaken PC2 outputs data about the car you are using:
    http://forum.projectcarsgame.com/showthread.php?40113-HowTo-Companion-App-UDP-Streaming
    So this can be used to select the right profile?

    I discussed the matter with a (programming) friend of mine that is not familiar with Simtools. He would like to write some code for me, however he is not sure that Simtools will allow it.

    Does anyone have some more information about how to tackle this issue, please?

    Thanks

    It would be something for @yobuddy to consider.

    I am guessing the challenge would be what games provide selection options and if they are in a consistent enough format to make the effort worthwhile, given you can easily manually select a profile.

    It would only work if all games sent what vehicle they were using.
    So I'm afraid Remote Profiler is the best option at the moment.
    Take care,
