    It means, that it *is* compatible with SimTools and motion *is* supported.
    For patching select the path:
    C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\DiRT3
    Patching_Dirt3.png
    What it means is that we cannot make use of the additional dash data that is available with extradata=1.

    Shame they haven't fixed that.. It was working fine before second patch when they decided to fix the sim moving after race end and they broke telemetry output. The irony is my simulator is still moving after race and also in menu, so they didn't even fixed that completely and they broke the thing that is actually more important.

    I probably wouldn't complain about dash not working if their ingame HUD were positioned correctly. On triple screen setup the RPM/Gear Hud is positioned in the corner of right monitor and it's anoying to turn your head evertime to see it, losing sight from road.

    But that solution with screen mirroring came into my mind like @bsft did, that could work good, just need to set it up with my tablet.

    And on top of the problem above, I have the most known problem with Steam version where my wheel is turning to the right with FF enabled :)

    But at least it remembers my controls configuration now, no need to configure for each start of the game.

    I actually haven't done anything with FFB, I've turned it off in game because I couldn't play like that and I've added center spring effect on my wheel just to feel something. But I've done just couple of races and put it aside until they fix the FFB..

    they know there's a problem with wheels, mine is affected too: Always tends to the right.
    also I'm struggling setting surge/sway, I can hardly feel something decent

    Mines pretty wild , as in I really need seatbelts to hold me in the chair. Anyone else rides in I need to turn the main to 90% or they cant drive in a straight line.

    My MIN/MAX,
    Roll 8,-8
    Pitch 8,-8
    Heave 0.9.-0.9
    Sway 20,20
    Surge 15,-22
    And Axis settings is Roll 25% , Pitch 25% , Surge 20%, Sway 20%, Heave 10%

    But Im running Jrks at 12bit so my my settings might not work for the Ard.

    I'm quite surprised: for example, my Surge is 2, -4
    I'm on JRKs too now, but on wiper motors. Of course they're weaker, but on other games - like Assetto Corsa - I have no trouble making someone wanting to wear seat belts (I'm 70 kg, motors start struggling with 75-80kg guys)

    Yes, those are pretty big numbers for surge and sway with only 20%, I don't feel almost anything with those, but I haven't tried trailblazers with that, they produce more G's. My surge is similar to yours, 2 and -6, I believe he relies more on pitch and roll.

    Apart from comparing wipers to faster motors, it also is the settings at what we run our motors at. Hence different numbers work for different setups

    If you are into FSX or Prepar3D you are probably aware at how horrendously expensive good third party scenery is, though it also makes a huge difference to the realism and experience. I use ORBX and during May there is 37% off, so if you are in the market for a scenery upgrade then here is your chance: https://www.fullterrain.com/

    Damn you @noorbeast - Just spent a little too much on ORBX stuff just now.. :p

    I got AU SP4, VECTOR and EU OpenLC.

    I already have BASE, YWOL & EU England

    Heard good things about VECTOR, can't wait to see the difference.
    YWOL is superb on P3D, the attention to detail is excellent (Like all ORBX stuff)

    What Cessna Model do you recommend for P3D?
    (I tend to fly with the Baron 58 most of the time. The Old School non G1000)

    I wish P3D had commercial jets built in like FSX did. Miss the 747 and 737 :(

    Sorry @Archie I don't have a Cessna, I got the IRIS Jabiru as that is what my father uses for his pilot training: http://www.irissimulations.com.au/ols/?main_page=product_info&products_id=23

    In a lot of cases good freeware FSX aircraft will work fine in Prepar3D, so check out some of these and do a Google search to find more: http://steamcommunity.com/app/314160/discussions/2/620703493312353410/

    My father's all time favorite is the freeware Ants Aircraft Tiger Moth, but he is a traditionalist at heart so has a real soft spot for it: http://www.antsairplanes.com/tigermoth.html

    I thought the Cessna 142 was a squeeze with two in it.. That J-160 is positively miniature! Never actually seen one before!

    The Jabiru is a pretty common training aircraft in Australia, as they are made in Queensland.

    My dad's instructor is well over 6 foot and has to wind himself into the Jabiru, while my short stuff father has to use 2 giant cushions behind him to reach the pedals as the seats are a molded part of the cockpit, so can't be adjusted. The Jabiru is a study but oddball creation and is so light that they have wind speed restrictions for flying it.
