Request (Feature) Game Plugin Requests

I will also be very grateful for the WRC8 plugin

Unfortunately there isn't telemetry output in WRC8.

Motion for this game (since WRC 5 and on) is a D-Box exclusive.

Unless there's a way to tap in and convert that info to something usable by SimTools, I'm afraid there won't be any motion support.

grid 2019 will be nice

But is there telemetry output?

Yes there is telemetry. I believe it's the same telemetry as in Dirt Rally 2.0 or F12019.

It may well be a case of simply re-using one of those plugins. Give it a try, it certainly works with Simcommander using that method, so the same should apply here.

Here is the hardware settings config for Grid 2019:

Some one have Grid 2019 plugin ?

Of course! Here we go:
https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/grid-2019-plugin.238/

Thanks for your plugin.

So how to open UDP. I try to updated and run the game. In simtools work fine. But in game not working.

plugin are done, just pickup on downloads section

just open port on your firewall ( create a rule and put udp port in it )

Like this? I tried and still not working

nope. local port and remote cant be the same

Hi Xcrosz
After patching the plugin should be working without fiddling with the game. There is no need to change settings in the game or properties of the game. Unless there is an error in my plugin, of course!

Can you please do some checks:

• What is the exe-name of the game?
  Press <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Del> to open the Windows Task-Manager
  
  Right-click on GRID 2019 and select Switch to details
  
  Let me please know the name of the exe-file (e.g. grid_dx12.exe)
• Is there a subdirectory in C:\Users\Xcrosz\Documents\My Games\GRID (2019)\motionplatforms ? And is there a file SimToolsUDP.xml? (The name might be different but similar, I cannot remember by heart.)
• Is there an entry in the file C:\Users\Xcrosz\Documents\My Games\GRID (2019)\hardwaresettings\hardware_settings_config.xml
  
  Code:

  <custom_udp
      enabled="false"
      filename="SimToolsUDP.xml"
      ip="127.0.0.1"
      port="4123"
      delay="1" />

Thank you in advance!

Yes. I have that all. Actually i remember this issue. It's happen in F1 2019 either. I think the problem is Grid 2019 run in DX12. In F1 2019 it can choose to run with Dx11 and working with motion. I think if i can change to run Grid 2019 in DX11 it will working.

So
✔ the exe name is correct.
✔ patching works as intended
✔ the files and the entries in the files are correct.

• Does GameManager turn blue and say Game Running?
  

• Do you see flickering data in TuningCenter?
  

I have not found a DX11 exe in the GRID (2019) directory. If you can switch to DX11, please let me know the name of the exe.

Hi @value1, I've just tested this plugin, worked 1st time for me, so I don't think it's a problem with the plugin itself.

Sadly Tunging Center not like you

Ok. I tried to change the Game Limits-Max/Min it's working now. Thanks for your help. So someone have a best setting in this part?

Need For Speed Heat plugin
