Dirt 3 with Simtools and Simvibe?

Has anyone had luck getting Simvibe and Simtools working together with Dirt 3?

Simvibe and Simtools seem to play well together ok on Assetto Corsa, but no luck with Dirt 3 so far.

-Simtools works great with Dirt 3 on it's own ( The jumps and their landings feel amazing, you really feel like your landing a jump).

-Simvibe works great with Dirt 3 on it's own.

But when I try to run them together I get no motion output from the Game Engine. The Game Engine shows that the game is running, and but no motion input can be seen on the Virtual axis screen and no motion makes it out to the Jrk drives and motors.

To get motion in Simtools working again on Dirt 3 after trying to run them both together I have to Un-patch and re-patch Dirt 3 with the Game Manager.

Any ideas on how to get these two to play together in Dirt 3?

Edit: I am running Game Manager and Game Engine on separate PC's in case that is relevant.

I suspect the "extra data" line in teh code for the game is getting changed by simvibe
"<motion enabled="true" ip="127.0.0.1" port="4123" delay="1" extradata="0"" thats it standard with plugin, maybe fiddle with extradata number , put in 1 or 2 or 3 and so on to see if you can get both running.

Dave, which file would I find the Extradata setting in?

documents/mygames/dirt3/hardwaresettings , then open the file with notepad, make a change, save, test, rinse repeat

@Roonster
Please post the setting file info for dirt3 with simvibe successfully running, I feel Bernard used a different port, as we use 4123 for our plugins.

Ok so SimVibe is using port 10001 and extradata of 1 , we are using port 4123 and extradata of 0, so at present the two are not compatible, we could change a custom plugin to use the port but the extradata 1 is not sorted as yet.
So there might be possibilities to run SimVibe with SimTools.

So what is in the config file with Asseto Corsa loaded when both simtools and simvibe work?

I'm not sure which config file has the motion settings in Assetto Corsa, I've looked through most of them and have not found an extradata variable yet.

Does simvibe have support for Assetto Corsa?

Yes Simvibe works with Assetto Corsa but it is pretty basic at this point with only a few features. And it does work with SimTools so far.

Thanks Historiker, what do you mean by 'basic' features?

With several other games Simvibe has options for right/left/front/rear. For instance bumps, with iRacing you can set up a profile (chassis mode) to differentiate between left and right and front and rear road bumps, wind noise, etc. Right now Assetto Corsa is best used with Extention mode rather than Chassis.

Hi I seems to have same problem, did you found a solution. ?

Hi, this is my first post, tried an arduino uno and moto monstershield with a little motor in LFS before build the motion sim and work, but not with simvibe when patched.
Does iRacing work with simtools and simvibe? Don´t have credits to download and try it.
Thanks, Javier.

I use cmps before http://www.eksimracing.com/cmps
it works for dirt3 . but not works for dirt rally.from the description it should also support dirt rally. anyone has a successful experience?

With version 2 of simtools we will not have to comprises our sims by using SimVibe,
Simtools has its own system.
