    I removed plug in and unpatched the dirt rally and ran for complete one race and again plugged in and patched it. As my pc is 64 bits so according to instruction, it is patched but there is no response even I put 20% surge and rest 0 in interfacing setting.
    Please find the information I got in hardware setting of dirt rally in /My Game/hardware settings below. This may give some leads.

    The correct patch path on 64bit is C:\Users\Your_User_Name\Documents\My Games\DiRT Rally

    Does Game Manager turn blue when Dirt Rally is running?

    Does the top row of the Tuning Center have values when Dirt Rally is running?

    Does SimTools work correctly with Live For Speed, which is free to download here: https://www.lfs.net/downloads

    Please post pictures of your Interface Settings, Axis Assignments, plus Game Manager and Tuning Center while the game is running.

    The data is present in the Tuning Center @Prabin Kumar Jha, so the profile may need some work but SimTools is working.

    I am not sure I understand your question. The link provided goes through the steps for creating and refining a motion profile, it takes time and some practice but gets easier once you get the hang of it.

    I started setting the tuning centre keeping surge 20% and rest zero and I got following information in TC but there is no response in seat play. I am still doing. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    The TC values, other than sway, look way too high, I have mentioned before that these are the steps to create and refine a motion profile: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    The data is there in SimTools. Is Output testing working correctly and if so have you created an Axis Assignment for Dirt Rally?

    You need to answer my earlier questions, is Output testing working correctly (motors move) and if so have you created an Axis Assignment for Dirt Rally?

    Did you test SimTools with LFS as suggested?

    LFS needs to be run for a couple of laps before patching.

    Use a keyboard if you need to, testing LFS is to try and rule out configuration issues.
