Hello @ all

Happy New Year all together When anyone got that working on a win11 PC with a njMotion CompactR and got a lil bit of spareTime to explain me how that hing works, I am really thankful when anyone could help me out.

Thanks in advance everyone and have a nice day/afternoon/night

I am having some issues running your plugin with V3 Beta simtools.

1) I start the plugin and then start the GT7Proxy. About 2 seconds after the proxy starts and data is being read from the PS5 with GT7, the simtools app exits. This happens every time. The app does not exit until it starts getting data from GT7. I am able to run other game plugins in V3 Beta without any app crashes. I am running Windows 10 x64.

2) The Gt7 Proxy output is not being formatted correctly for me in a CMD prompt (Python 3.9):


I am happy to try to help debug this issue, but I'm a noob and just getting my first 2dof rig working so I'm not up to speed on how plugins are written or how they can be debugged.
If you have any thoughts on what might be going on or something to try, I'd love to get this working/ help workout any bugs.

Thanks,
Michael

Well I thought I had completed a "race". I went into single player, and ran 3 laps and then quit. I have removed the plugin and I'm trying again.
So completed a race as instructed, reinstalled plugin, but still no 2dof in LFS and simtools still exits when I exit LFS.

more information: I am running Windows 10 Pro x64. I was thinking about removing everything and starting over. LFS had been installed before simtools ever was. I also had installed 2.6 before moving to v3 beta. Is there a limit to how many times I can register my license on a machine?

Just to be clear the main issue I want to fix is simtools exiting (crashing). I'm not concerned about 2dof not working in LFS (since it works in assetto corsa) but if that's the first step, I can show my config later tonight. If I uninstall everything and start again, then I will be on the 3rd registration of my license, more If I try 2.6 vs v3 beta.

1) Can 2.6 and V3 beta both be installed on the machine at the same time? Right now If I try to run 2.6, it crashes also with an exception dialog.

2) Should I try 2.6 first, or work stay with v3 beta?

For anyone who is having issues with windows and the GT7Proxy output format, I took the @vthinsel GT7Proxy.py and added curses to it so I could see the output correctly. The window resize is not as clean as I would like, but I can see the data correctly now. I don't believe I broke anything since I was just playing with the console formatting. You will need to pip install windows-curses to use it. I tested under Python 3.9.13.

Works Great Thanks

Hey guys thanks for the work here first.

That would be great

Have a nice day

Installing collected packages: salsa20, pywin32-ctypes, altgraph, pyinstaller-hooks-contrib, future, pefile, pyinstaller
DEPRECATION: salsa20 is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

Can only give a quick msg right now.

GT7 proxy is responsible for taking the GT7 published telemetry data and converting it into the form that the SimTools GT7 Plugin can consume. On the machine that is running the proxy, the UDP ports 33740 and 33739 must be opened in your firewall. Normally this would be the machine that is running SimTools (but doesn't have to be). What issue are you seeing specifically? Are you seeing the data fields in the GT7 Proxy update from the PS5 running GT7 (in a race)?

So python install problem...I'm not sure how much help I can be with that. I personally did not use python 3.11. I already had python 3.9.13 installed I believe (not that it should matter). Just did a "pip install salsa20" and it worked fine. I do have Visual Studio installed so maybe installing the build tools from: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ will help.

@ Michael Dean
Hey i think ive got it working so far.
But there is on problem im getting no motion data in simtools no motion imputs all stay at zero all the time.
Do you have any ideas how to solve this problem?
P.s and yes the prxy is running now and i can see in cmd how the values are changing while iam on track.

short update:
got motion values now in simtools.
Because of that i belive i ve done everything correct so far.
I downloaded a network plugin under interface plugins put the ports and ip in.
But im not sure if it all is correct.
outputbitrange? ive put 25 in
outputtype? ive set it to binary
startup output? ive 1
interface output? ive 2
shutdown output? ive 3
dont know for what this all is.
but i get some data now ^^

But please telll me guy how do i start my own gt7proxy.exe
If i duble click it it opens a black window and shuts it in the same second down.
I thinkl thats because of that i have no option to put my ip in.
Not like in cmd to run the proxy with pythongt7.py--ps_ip ................and so on.
How the hell i start it with my gt7proxy.exe

Thanks for your help

I don't use the .exe proxy. If the window is closing on you, it's because there is an error. In order to see the error, you need to run a CMD window, cd to the proxy location and run it so you can see the error output.

I use a cmd like:
python Gt7Proxy.py --ps_ip <ps5_ip_address>

Here's how I got mine running, first, download the .exe version that is already built.
Go to the github page, click on releases (I cant paste the link because I'm new here), choose the first release, download the GT7Proxy.exe, save it wherever you can access it.

Since it is already built, you won't need python.

First, start Gran Turismo 7 on the ps5, if you don't do this, the program will throw an exception.

Open up Command Prompt or powershell and run GT7Proxy.exe --ps_ip 192.168.1.243 making sure that it's the IP Address of your ps4/ps5.

Windows Firewall notification will pop-up, make sure to grant permission.

That's about it, you should see it posting telemetry data.

Then on simtools, just start and you should receive data.

I am having problems with motion, the motion data seems to be very small, when I start capturing data, it pratically never reaches 1, anyone having this problem?
