    Hello , a newbie here.
    i downloaded sim software.. they work fine..
    downloaded F1 2012 demo version. i can find the game on my sim software.
    so far so good!

    I configured serial settings on my sim sw EXPECTING that the game will throw info on
    serial port and i will see them on serial monitor.

    The game starts..but no messages on serial window

    Looks not right for me.. what is wrong ?

    thanks

    Need to read the manual my friend will answer alot of questions for you.
    IE. Set you default axis, copy this to F1 2012 axis settings.
    Now set your interfaces, needs to be set or it sends nothing.
    Now you can test in Output.
    Once moving the right way , you can then test the game, once you have patched it for motion with the Game Manager.
    The manual reads in the way you should set up and test.

    Lets take one step back.
    When the game starts, look at the Game Manager, does it say Game Running, in a blue box. If yes then check the Tuning Centre to see if data is present.
    If not then the game is not patch correctly in the Game Manager.
    Please check.
    Another one would be the game exe filename matchs what is displayed in the Game Manager - Profile Editor - More. Process name displayed must be the file that starts the game or the plugin will not connect.

    Please step through this and then we can check serial out.
    Thanks for your patience.
