    Maybe the plugin code is checking the SHM version but will continue. This is probably just a warning.
    You can try the UDP version also, which shouldnt complain about version mismatch (I haven't implemented checks in it)

    Ive gotten this plugin to work with my 2dof sim. Using Pitch, Roll, Surge and Extra1 seems to get the best feel. The problem is, I'm not getting any acceleration or braking forces. I have individually tried all of the different forces and just cant seem to get that one going. I was wondering if anyone had a possible solution for this?

    Surge is used for acceleration and braking. Accelerate and the platform/seat angles back, brake and the platform/seat angles forward.

    You mention that you are using Surge but not feeling Acceleration nor braking? Have you adjusted the settings in the Tuning Center?

    The Pcar dev team plan to also push the Oculus VR mods to the Steam version. To be honest I believe that is the time to fix the plugin, while the versions are in sync and the people who build the plugin already already have access to the game.

    Then your best option is to use the Steam version with the 0.8 Oculus runtime with the current plugin.

    Unfortunately I doubt it is worth either creating a separate plugin, when it is known the versions are to sync, nor would it be wise to mess with the current plugin when the majority of people have the Steam version of Pcars.

    Here is a bit of an interesting Reddit concern that Oculus Home (Store Front for Oculus VR) may result in regarding fracturing the player base, so you won't be able to play against friends with the Steam version: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/4cy8ec/how_oculus_home_is_going_to_split_the_player_base/

    How Oculus Home is going to split the player base of PC-Gaming. First up to bat, Project Cars.
    submitted 2 hours ago by Woofington [+1]

    Well today Project Cars announced 1.3 Oculus SDK support for their game. You can get it on Oculus Home. However if you do be aware of one important thing:

    You cannot play Project Cars multiplayer with players who have the game on Steam if you own it on Oculus Home.

    That's right, we have begun console-like schisms in the PC community. Now this is likely because Oculus wants to use their own friend-system and replace steamworks so there is no steamworks compatibility. But what this means is that two people owning the same game on PC cannot play the game online together.

    Now this wouldn't be that bad if they locked the VR version of the game to Oculus Home right? WRONG!
    Steam is hardware agnostic, it will let a Rift or Vive or Anything use the store and its SteamVR support
    Oculus Home is not hardware agnostic. You can only use the rift with Oculus Home
    So if your friend buys a game on Oculus Home and you have a Vive, you are simply out of luck, you won't be able to play multiplayer games with him if that game is utilizing Oculus' friend system. However if your friend buys a game on Steam, anyone can still play and download independent of the hardware they are using.

    Vr 1.3 works fine in Pcars and steam , current non udp version works with no issues under SimTools V1.3.
    I believe from hundreds of forum post , simvibe and his copy wheel is currently not, but he will get it right.
    They cause a mem shared violation and even stops the CV1 from running, opps,
    Long live SimTools.

    As far as I know the original plugin has never been tested with the Rift version of Pcars, but as it differs from the Steam version I am not surprised that it does not work.

    Have you tried the UDP version of the Pcars plugin: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/project-cars-udp-alternate-plugin.159/

    It would be more likely to work.

    Have you enabled the memory sharing in project cars settings?
    If not it wont work.
    Although all my experience is strictly with steam version.

    No, 64bit is not the issue.

    As I already pointed out the issue is that original plugin has never been tested with the Rift version of Pcars, and as it differs from the Steam version is not likely to work.
