Question Delay when using CMPS

    When playing F1 2017, my fanatec leds won't work. So for that to work I run SLI Manager Pro and Simtools via the CodeMasters Proxy Server (CMPS), but this gives me a delay of some seconds when playing.
    When I am using Simtools only, or SLI Manager only, it is running fine.

    Does anybody know what could be wrong? Or is it a bug?

    Maybe both apps use the same port?
    So the packet is only being caught by either one app or the other?
    In the hardware_settings_config.xml for the game you probably need 2 udp senders, one for each app.

    I'm not sure how your led's work thou, so hard to say..

    My led's won't work at all with F1 2017, or I need to use SLI Manager or Fanaleds. But when using one of these apps, Simtools won't work anymore because the led-app uses the port.
    To fix that you can use the CMPS, that program just copies data to multiple ports. But after a while (or sometimes immediatly) this program causes a delay in motion aswell as the led-rev. And I don't know how to fix that.

    Is it possible with F1 2017 to edit the hardware settings, to have 2 udp senders? Because I read somewhere it isn't (only Dirt Rally or something).

    Yes, you can as long as they both don't use the same port.
    (and as long as the other app (for the led's) does not auto patch the game. (wiping out SimTools settings)

    Run your setup so that your led's work.
    Look in the file for the line "<udp enabled=" one should be set to true, thats how you know its the right line.
    Copy the line.

    Now exit the game and patch the game with SimTools.
    Open the file and paste the line you copied above right below the current "<udp enabled=" so that you have two of them.
    Save the file and you should be all set.

    let me know how it goes!

    Well, I tried that but no luck.
    As soon as I start the game, it just deletes the "<udp enabled=" line with the highest port number.

    Some sort of non buffered UDP pass thru / duplicator would be needed I think.
    Maybe something I could look into at some point.
    Take care,
