    Unfortunately it’s looking like the new brand owners have mainstreamed it. It’s supposedly not the same ProjectCars used to be.

    Anyone looking to get it shouldn’t just go on the franchise name.

    To work with SimTools, maybe rename the exe to PCARS2
    And go to options and select telemetry for PCARS2 in the game menus

    SETUP->SYSTEM

    The telemetry is indeed the same as pcars2. As stated above, it's either a case of adding the new .exe name to the existing pcars2 plugin, or manually renaming the pcars3 exe to pcars2, then running simtools with the old plugin.

    Not sure what the new telemetry brings over the old one to justify a whole new plugin, but I guess there is a reason it's changed.

    Hello @Sarge, how would one add the new .exe name to the existing pcars2 plugin?

    I'm downloading the game now and hope to try it with motion if possible. Thanks.

    Inside the plugins, there is a line where the process name(s) are entered. It would need the authors with the source file to recompile it, but as an example, this is what it would look like inside the plugin;

    Capture.JPG

    I wont have the game until tomorrow, so I'm just guessing the process name.

    For now, your simple option is to just change the name of the .exe to match a name the plugin will recognise (you can choose any of those in process name string from the picture above). Remember to set the telemetry to Project Cars 2 within the options in Project Cars 3. That should get you going for now until the guys here have the time to release a proper plugin.

    Cheers.

    Awesome. It looks like adding the .exec would require edits that can only be made by the original author, or it's definitely something more advanced than just simply inputing text in the string of the plugin. I'll try renaming the .exe for now. Thanks for detailed explanation Sarge!

    You should not rename the plugin, but rather the game EXE.

    Yes to be super clear...

    I simply renamed the Project Cars 3 exe to Pcars2.exe
    motion on my SFX-100 with the thanos controller works perfectly

    I've bought the game today and looked into another solution. Steam simply would not allow me to run a renamed .exe for some odd reason. Every time I run the renamed .exe, Steam would automatically replace the renamed .exe to the original pcars3.exe file.

    However, below is the solution to run motion without renaming the pCARS3.exe file;

    Download the manual Project CARS2 plugin found here;
    https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-uses-new-udp-format-manual-plugin-start.197/ (Credit to @vthinsel)

    If you haven't already, install the above plugin via plugin updater, patch the game and click the manual start button. Doing this negates the need to rename the .exe file. Just manual start the above plugin and run the game.

    I have tested this method, and found it to be fully working.

    Happy driving.
