    Hello all, pb wit GTR2, GameEngine do not send data, COULD YOU HELP ME... THANK YOU IN ADVANCE...

    1) I am currently writing arduino code for my Xdof simulator ( https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/launching-of-my-6dof-low-cost-dynamic-simulator.11594/ )

    2) As the code is not finished, I check the data sent by GameEngine with an oscilloscope connected to the pin 0 of arduino board = RX (for information I synchronize the packets with specific 5 bytes: 000,FF,85,FF,00, following by the 2 16 bits axis).

    3) When I test the output with the GameEngine, I can see the 4 last bytes change (see the 2 oscilloscope photos, with surge at 0% then surge at 20%), so game engine configuration seems good (see the 3 screen shots: axis assignement, limiting, and interface setting).

    4) Then I have patched GameManager with GTR2 (GTR2_Plugin_2.0.0.2) doing a drag and drop in the PluginAdapter (no error),

    5) But when I play GTR2, GameEngine seems to send nothing (I can see it with the oscilloscope, the 2 axis surge and sway are stucked to 0% !!). Yet all other things seem OK ( "Game running", background blue, written in GameManager, and "Game On", background blue, written in GameEngine... (see the 2 screen shoots)

    What did I forget to configure ??

    Please open the tuning center for Game Engine to see if you have any game data coming in.

    thank you yobuddy, I try that this evening, but as all the applications gtr2, game manager, and game engine) run on the same pc, I need to stop the game to enter in the tuning center, so will I see data in this case ? Or do I have necessarily to use 2 pc connected by ethernet ?

    You don't need to stop the game while running the Tuning Center to observe if it is registering data, you will want to pause the game if you want to edit Tuning Center values.

    Hello Yobuddy and Noorbeast, I have opened the tunining center values -> no datas received, that confirms what I can see on my oscilloscope.
    N.B: I have tried with rFactor, and it is ok with this game, I can see the data received, in the center tuning and also on my oscilloscope.
    So far, do not understand this bug !!
