DIRT3 compatible?

I want to know if DIRT3 is compatible with the plugin of DIRT2?

Good morning,

Sincerelly, I dont know.

At the afternoon, I will go to my physic game store to get the PC version.

Im not personally specting a boom! from this title but This isn't the unique reason to dont get it.

I will test with the Dirt 2 plugin to see what happens

Best regards.

Im no expert but myself and a mate cant get it to work. Shame because F1 2010 worked fine with this configuration.

Hope someone can get it sorted, its kind of boring without motion so far

So it's a good news, we could play even if the plugin is not ready

Yes Dirt3 is compatible
i test for you
must Use DIRT2 plugin
I have the DIRT3 and i play with my simulator

Riton,

Can you tell me what I need to do to make it work?

I have tried Dirt2 Plugin and Live4Speed Plugin with no success.

Hi,

file to edit is hardware_settings_config.xml

Location:

My Documents\My Games\DiRT3\hardwaresettings

Edit this line like this:
<motion enabled=true ip=127.0.0.1 port=20777 delay=1 extradata=1


Great game and works great with Dirt2 plugin ...


Enjoy!

Open the plugin assistant in Force Sender.
In the DiRT2 section, there are 3 lines, Dirt2 Demo, Dirt2 and a third one.
Double click on the third one, in the three columns, and change the pathnames accordingly to (without quotes)
File to load on detection (click on the ... button) : your_dirt3_profile.fsd
Autosearch taskname : DiRT 3
Program .EXE file : dirt3_game.exe

Something like that, sirnoname ?

BTW, it works flawlessly, as usual... yehaa, back to it

Good morning,

Yes, it's working and the motion, seems to be soo heavy :yes:

Best regards.

Anyone noticing motion while in the menu?

Good morning,

Yes, I've notice it and at the first time, I was scaried.

In our motion system I use the emergency stop and I push up before the start.

I think It's boring stay feeling the strange motion at the menu every time.

Best regards.

Same thing here ... weird feeling ...

You are such a sissy! :mug1:

Dirt2 plugin keep swithing me off. Also Live4speed plugin.
It works after some time of gameplay but only few seconds and then its off again (game isn`t detected in ForceProfiler).
It`s funny because i didn`t change anything and Dirt2 himself also works same way. Live4speed have same issue.
Test Plugin works fine as well as Race On with Race07 plugin.

Any ideas what this might be ?

I think i`ve found problem. It looks like i have Local Network in ForceProfiler instead of Force Sender (127.0.0.1) connection. How da hell i am going to change it ?

Are you using a single PC ? If yes, I think it's a normal behaviour and I don't think this is causing your issues ...

You could try to NOT start the game via the force sender and test ...

You could also try to use a profile with only 1 effect at the time and add them progressively...

I had similar problem at the very first time I was using my simulator with other member profiles that were not suitable for my sim design ...

You could also try to delete x-sim, clean the registry and reinstall ...

I`ve spend whole day tring to do something with it. I work with one PC. I actually went through all this things which you mentioned.
Thing is that in Force Sender icon (in Force Profiler) i have Local running but use to be 127.0.0.1. Even if i start Force Sender as first one i have proper IP of the Profiler (127.0.0.1) but streight after starting Force Profiler it change to Local Profiler Running. Shit like this. I have proper address in Sender and everything is like use to be.
I thing that OS update something and mess it up my Local connection settings. I have clean all registry and whole network - didn`t hepl much. Why Test Plugin and Race07 still work fine ?

I did it. I finally managed to get it right. It was so easy: separated hard drive under low format, reinstaled MB bios, whole new cables and controler for scn5, brand new Windows OS and full reinstal of every single game and X-Sim drivers.
I feel better now!

Hello All, I have an interesting one for dirt3. It works well, however, I have noticed that I need to re-enter the wheel settings everytime I start the game, wheel is a driving force gt. It does not save it for some reason despite I have a GFWL save file. Also on the Finland track in the older cars, the game crashes from a COM port write error. So far the game does not crash any where else at this stage. I have scoured the forums of codemasters and others relating to this issue and others.
Has anyone else had some minor issues by chance?


yes the problem does lie between the seat and the keyboard!

It is known issue. Dont press start on the keyboard but on the wheel during the game load
