    Click on the Tools button and you can fix the range for input.
    (Scale it up or down as needed)

    Thanks @yobuddy, it worked or at least entered the ladder.

    Now I will do the tests with my SIM 3 Axis.

    As soon as I have an example of everything I will post it to know if I did well.

    Thanks again.

    hello guys,
    trying to add telemetry to a small video with VideoRidecreator and VRCInput I get this message
    "NO telemetry found calculating file size" and nothing happens
    any advice to solve this ?
    Thanks

    Maybe run it as admin?
    All I can think is VRC is not able to write to the folder the video is sitting in.
    (As it makes the telemetry file in the same folder as the loaded video.)
    Let me know how it goes,

    Renaming the video has been the solution to make everything right;
    now I am going to experiment few things, next step is to download the patch to be able to play the video with telemetry data !!!
    thanks for your answer

    @yobuddy
    first step
    I have tested VideoRideCreator and saved a datafile so that when running in VideoRidePlayer, my video is displaying data on the "Roll " small window.

    second step
    when testing "Output Testing" in Game Engine , everything works my platform moves


    third step
    Game Manager is ON and Game Selection displays " VideoRidePlayer" so I suppose the patching has gone well

    but my platform still doesn't want to move

    Have you got any clue ?

    Please open the tuning center in game engine, and verify that when you play your video in VideoRidePlayer, you can see the data streaming into the top of the page.
    Let me know how it goes buddy and we can work from there.
    Take care,

    Are you only expecting roll to work at this point?
    (Maybe you only have roll edited at this time?)
    The next would be to check your axis assignments and that roll if set to make the sim move somehow.
    Could i have a pic of your axis assignments?

    Hi, yes at the moment I am only working on Roll, ...... first trying to master easy stuff :)

    In game Engine DOF1 Axis1a is Roll 62% Dir is orange
    Axis2a is Roll 61% Dir is orange

    Oh guys I ' m lost trying to rewrite a data file with Video Creator and realizing the GUI is no more the same than in the examples

    thank a lot to you spending time to solve this kind of problems

    How we configure Roll or any of the DOF's will depend on the sim and where the motors are located on the sim.
    But we know roll is configured for output here, so let's move on.
    Next would bu to check you interface settings and be sure that <Axis1a> is being sent to the sim.

    May I have a pic of your interface assignments?
    And just to make sure, have you tested that output testing is working correctly?
    Have you seen you sim move at all when connected to the PC?
    thanks man, chat soon.

    Hi,
    Yes I have seen the sim moving with Output Testing in this configuration
    I am asking myself if it's not a problem with the data format

    Try opening the video with Video with Video Ride Creator.
    It should load your telemetry file and display what roll is doing on the screen.
    You can even drag a few of the points all the way up or down to help trigger the sim to move.
    Clink save and it will save the file with the updates, then try again with the video ride player and see how it goes.
    Chat soon,

    Hi guys

    uploaded LFS and played a bit
    recorded a 45 s Driving session with VideoRecorder
    played it in Videoplayer , saw data flowing but platform didn't move

    can't understand what is going wrong, despite Output Testing is going well

    Have you got a clue ?

    First check that you have axis assignments settings for the VideoRidePlayer plugin.
    If you do, and it still not moving, open the video you made with the VideoRideCreator and it should load the corresponding telemetry file.
    Play the video and watch the telemetry dots go by and look for movement in telemetry.
    It may be that the data recorded is so tiny it looks empty, so you may need to scale the recorded data into range.
    Please let me know what you find.

    Axis settings is labelled ' videoplayer' in the little window
    output testing is ok
    Telemetry data flow from -23000 to 23000

    still no movement ......can't figure out what's going wrong

    Sorry buddy, but I don't know what "little window" means, could we have some screen shots?
    Please include Axis Assignments pic's for both the Default and the VideoRidePlayer please.
    And maybe a tuning center pic when running.
