Codemasters Dirt Rally Plugin 2.0.0.3

Hello again. In the end I was able to install the plugins and apply the Path, both Dirt Rally and Euro Truck Simulator 2, but the problems have not ended there because although I have managed to install it, I have not been able to move the engines in any of these two games, the truth is that I do not know what I'm doing wrong .... Simtools works perfectly with Asseto Corsa and Assetto Corsa Competizione, as well as Live for Speed. Also comment that I have games by Steam ....

Hola de nuevo. Al final he podido instalar los plugins y aplicar el Path, tanto de Dirt Rally como de Euro Truck Simulator 2, pero los problemas no han acabado ahí ya que si bien he conseguido instalarlo, no he conseguido que me muevan los motores en ninguno de estos dos juegos, la verdad es que no sé que hago mal.... Me funciona Simtools perfectamente con Asseto Corsa y Assetto Corsa Competizione, así como en Live for Speed. También comentar que tengo los juegos por Steam....

I set each game like this:
I run the game and tuning center (capture min max), I do a clean but fast ride on the track or a special stage, then save the settings in the tuning center for this game, if it is necessary then I correct it and test it in the game.
Then in axiss assignments I set everything to 0%, and set the value for each option separately, eg first roll set 50% myself and check in game, if it works well, if necessary, I change the directions.
And so I do it for each option, pitch, sway, surge heave, percentages set individually for each option.

In dirt rally, if I set everything to 0 and set 50% only for surge then I do not feel anything in the game.
At other games, like RBR, when I set the same 50% only for surge I feel like the platform rises when I press the gas and falls down when I braking.

The strangest thing for me is that everything works well when I play at Dirt Rally in oculus rift, but when I turn it off and want to play on the monitor surge and sway does not work, this problem is only for rally and hiclimb, at rallycross platform work fine. For me it is some magic I have no idea where is the problem.

Thx splendiddd.

I try your profile and still is the same.
What you edit at the hardware xml of the game ? (I have a problem with saving my OSW steering wheel settings, I need to set the steering wheel and assign all buttons every time I turn on the game, it looks like my game dont save my hardware config)

I try to uninstall my game and install again without oculus.
If it does not work, we can try via team viewer

When you need to assign buttons at startup mostly you have connected too many joysticks (Codemaster games dont like many usb) I always need to disconnect my HOTAS when playing codemaster games.
I have connected, Ailog shifter, leobodnar (handbrake) fanatec teensy (QR) OSW and leobodnar pedals.

Did you watch my tutorial?

I've recently built a new PC and can confirm that this plugin appears to be working fine with my DIY d20f seat mover.
Win 10 Pro 64-bit
DiRT Rally (Steam version)

Yes I watched it, i try Your settings but we need different setup, maybe becouse You have all Your axis at one interface, I heve two interface, interface1 for front motors and here I must set preset "dof reality H2, M2 or P2", and interface2 for traction loss i set preset "dof reality tloss addon".

I back to my previous setting, now my platform at dirt rally alive, but before I start the game I disable oculus at game (edit hardware_settings_config.xml) and disable Oculus VR Runtime Service.

Now I need to adjust the settings, I would like to make it work as smoothly as possible, becouse now my platform still yerk to much.
Maybe You Can tell me what i need to change ? Maybe some filter?

If we talk about USB, then I have a 1 USB 2.0 hub and connected to it: 2xusb from simucube, 2xusb from 3dof, 1xusb from buttonplate ascher racing, 1xusb from simline handbrake
And 1 USB 3.0 hub and connected to it: Fanatec CSP V3, Fanatec Club Sport Shifter SQ V1.5, USB Sound Card for Aura Bass shakers.

The only value that is different should be axis 3 extra, thats it. All the rest must be the same? Also like i mentioned in the tutorial, are the min/max the same???
Also if you follow my instructions, you can make your own profile... ;-)

Don't do that, just disconnect your headset. Also keep quitting steam VR (if you use the steam version like me?)

No i did not use any filter. type of seat could make a diference, besides that it is what i have shown in the video

Ok, maybe google controll problem with dirt rally, i cant remember what it was

Hmm I can't seem to get this to work. Tried both folder locations, it appears to patch successfully, then tells me I need to finish one race first. How does this work? Any race? Custom event? Do I have to finish or can I load a race and then quit? Then what do I restart the game? I've done everything and can't get any motion.

I am running in vr with oculus.

Done this like 10x now, tried both folder locations, tried patching while the game was running even, it always says to complete one race no matter what but it still says patched successfully yet it has never worked. This is the only game I've had problems with.

I stand corrected, there may be an issue with this plugin after all, or something on my end.


If I patch the game it works fine for that session, but if I quit out and restart I no longer have any motion.

Same with if I swap between playing in 2D or VR, any restart kills the motion until it is un-patched and re-patched again.

Each and every time it's a two step process, needing to first run another race before re-patching.

This is for the Steam version on a 64-bit version of Win 10 Pro.


Can anyone else confirm this, or is it on my end along with possibly a few other users having the same issue?

All other titles I've played appear to be working fine.

Not sure if the problem is related or not but I can't get this plugin or the other popular dirt rally plugin to work at all. I am also on steam version 64 bit windows 10 running in vr.

After reading back on both threads for the two DR plugins, apparently there are some issues in that if the graphics resolution is changed it somehow affects the motion.

Will investigate further, do some testing of my own and try to figure this out.


Fingers are crossed that it's simply a coding error from Codemasters (I use the term "masters" lightly with that company, LOL!!!!)

I can only imagine that the upcoming DiRT Rally 2.0 will be plagued with issues, not to mention once they implement VR this Summer.

Hang on folks, this should be interesting.

Watching closely as I too can’t get this bugger to work.

Tonight I happened to be watching a fellow sim racer who has a YouTube stream (RTA Motorsports) and asked him if he was also experiencing issues with SimTools motion, and he confirmed that it's a "YES".
He's done many DiRT Rally livestreams before, and mentioned that it just started happening the other day.

There must be something happening which wasn't present before.

I don't recall seeing any patches or updates from Steam recently, but may have missed it as I have everything set to automatically keep my games updated.


@value1 or @yobuddy, any ideas???


Odd that this happened around the same time as the issues I was having with Trackmania2 series, which has now been corrected.

Possibly a similar issue?????

Hopefully it's just something small and not too much of a hassle to fix.

Orrrrr.....perhaps it's just a conspiracy from CodeMasters trying to get us to buy DiRT Rally 2.0???
Sorry Codies, it's NOT a buy until there's VR support.

Thanks for the tip.

I don't frequent many online forums and wasn't aware of that "@" feature for directing inquiries.

Good to know, previous post now corrected.

This is what happens to me too, a session works for me but then it stops working and I have to put the Path back and the worst of all is that now I have not been able to make it work again. I have left the theme parked since my little free time I dedicate it to play a while or to modify the cockpit a bit to my new needs. The other games like Assetto Corsa and Assetto Corsa Competizione work perfectly for me, now I will have to see if I can make it work in Dirt Rally 2.0 ...




Es lo que me pasa a mi también, me funciona una sesión pero luego deja de funcionar y tengo que volver a poner el Path y lo peor de todo es que ahora ya no he podido a hacerlo funcionar de nuevo. Ya he dejado aparcado el tema ya que mi poco tiempo libre lo dedico a jugar un rato o a modificar un poco el cockpit a mis nuevas necesidades. Los otros juegos como Assetto Corsa y Assetto Corsa Competizione me funcionan perfectamente, ahora faltará ver si puedo hacerlo funcionar en Dirt Rally 2.0...

I've tested it again yesterday, still no difference...no motion at all.

Weird, because DiRT Rally 2.0 works perfectly.


I know of someone else who uses DiRT Rally with their Prosimu 3dof motion simulator and they also stated that they have the same issue, when before it worked perfectly.

Perhaps CodeMasters released a game patch at some point which broke motion under certain peoples given circumstances? (VR, screen setup, settings, etc.)
