Codemasters Dirt Rally Plugin 2.0.0.3

To standardize outputs from different game titles, gamedash usually displays speed in meters per second (37km/h = 37,000 meters per hour / 60 = 617 meters per minute / 60 = 10 meters per second).

Hello,
thanks for your answere it was very usefull. I've testet a lot with this new info.
Since I am do much testing with Dashboards at the moment, excuse me for all of my Questions. Maybe they are a little bit stupid, because I'm very new to that coding Stuff and Gamedash.

I have another Problem now. I get the right value on the dashboard now after using this formula in Gamedash

Code:

Math * 60
Math * 60
Math / 1000
Round 0
Pad 1 0
TOCHR

Because my code takes Km/h 0-255 as char value and than map it. With Rbr it works all good now. Everything is working fast and smooth. But with Dirt rally i got some Problems. But only with the Speed.
I tried that calculating on Arduino and Gamedash, no difference. The needle only move in single steps.

I thought the hole day about it and came to no result. A few minutes ago i tried again and maybe have found whats wrong. But i don't know if this is the failure or not.

If i compare this to RBR which outputs speed in KM/H the Values are changing very fast, so i get a smooth needle movement.
I take my values from above post with 0-37 km/h which is 10m/s.

I only get new data at 1,2,3..10 m/s . 1m/s=3,6km/h 2m/s=7,2km/h and if its making a huge step, incase of fast accelerating in game, it is more so the steps are bigger.
so I'm missing c.a 4km/h where the data is send to arduino and the nedle only moves in this steps.
It's hard for me to explain and i hope you can understand what i mean.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this, but i absolutly don't know what to do.

i think that it should be

Math * 3.6 (one line)

you say that 37km/h is inside game and game dash shows 10 so you have to multiply 10 with 3.6
{3.6=(60*60/1000)} so you can get almost 37km/h

I tried this also before, but it's the wrong calculation.
Transforming the value isn't the issue.
I will try to descripe it a little bit better this time, because i can't find any good screencapture software for free.

If i take the first stage in list and first car which is Mini Cooper.
At beginning, i give full power until the end of the gear is reached. (37km/h // 10m/s)

My code is pretty much the same found in racing mat's thread. It sends a position value to the switec motors if a new value is avalibe on serial port. With Rpm this happens very fast, because the values change very fast like you can see in Gamedash input). But with speed it happens very slow. So the motor get not updated fast enough and the movement isn't very smooth.

So it doesn't matter what calculations i do with the value, because i only get a new calculated position value if the Input will change. (which is m/s and that happens very slow)

I hope you can understand it better this time.

Hi, me again...tried the sugestions, unistalled simtools, re-installed..everything OK, EXCEPT when i copy the dirt plugin!...

I'm begining to get despaired...it only worked in 1st version, then i probably did something wrong, don't know..after that never worked, and crashes the simtools game manager/engine...i'll try to post a printscreen of the error...PLEASE HELP!

@nff Please go to C:\users\leontec\AppData\Local\SimTools\GamePlugins
Right-click on DirtRally_Plugin.dll and select Properties.
A dialog box opens:

Check if there is a button "Unblock" and unblock the file.
Hope this helps

IT worked allright!!...you're a genious...can't thank you enough!

Hi yobuddy, no i hadn't seen that, but now everything is OK folowing the instructions of value1..for the future i'll use the plugin updater..THANKS

Off topic, i sent you PM regarding simtools license, did you see it? THANKS

Fixed RPM×10

Hi, since lastest dirt rally update (tarmac terror), motion got weird.
Sometimes looks like telemetry is offset in time: i dont get any motion since 15-20 sec in game and then it come and go without reasons.
Sometimes i got motion for the whole part of the race, and no motion at all after for another one...
Sometimes when i quit the race looks like all motion telemetry is "played" to simtool in a very tiny moment of time.

Tried other game and they play fine, tried remove patch and patch again, no effect. Got win 7 64 with patch going into the saved game like asked when trying to patch.

Hi I'm still on the second plugin update the one before the fixed RPMx10
No problem with Tarmac Terrors update on that version, hope you get it sorted

My Telemetry has suddenely stopped working dont know if the update today has screwed it up or not ?? Other games are working fine so something must be wrong with this, anyone else having problems ??

@SilentChill Will test later, got the update but not had time to test it yet


EDIT Nop no movement the change log says they made changes to the telemetry data for D Box
So I guess that caused a problem.

Thanks @Daguru

@value1 wow that was fast Thank you !!

Thank you for the update

Holy shit thanks @value1 what would we do without you !!!!!

Ok all tested and working got great motion again and my GI Max still works too thanks again
