GTR2 Plugin - SimTools game plugin for GTR2

Guys,
Description says that pitch, roll, yaw are available, but they are not.

Another problem was the start up ranges within the plugin, it was very weird.
Had to run the Tuning Center to get it to work properly.
I would suggest, in a future revision, to use the following as default max's:
Heave = +/-12
Sway = +/-20
Surge= +/-20

Thanks.

Good observation. Yes, the game GTR2 does not provide pitch, roll and yaw. That's the reason why they are not included in the plugin.
I will change the description.

To be honest, I don't pay too much attention to the initial values in Max/Min as they must be adjusted to the individual sim most probably anyway. However I will include your value in MaxMin.cfg durign the next update. Thank you for pointing out!

Thanks @MasterYoda , yes we dont simulate movement in the plugins that are not provided by the game developers , results in a lot better feel.
Thanks for your input on Min and Max's this does help the plugin's grows and makes it easier for newbie to get things rolling along.
I use Heave +- 22
Sway +- 30
Surge 22 -10
I tend to use an unequal surge because of the seat mover, as in I like a strong accel (Surge -10) and a weaker breaking movement (Surge 22) so when I break im not thursted into the steering wheel.

Thanks for the explanation, guys!

Ya welcome , BTW Dash boards work really well with this game too.

@value1 : can i hope in a new release with role, pitch ?

regards

Unlike other SimBin titles, GTR2 only provides surge, sway and heave but no pitch, roll or yaw.
Unfortunately there is no other data, that would allows the calculation of these values with reasonable efforts.

thank you anyway.
I will use the best available data.

I cannot seem to get this plugin working correctly. When in the garage or standing still on track. The value`s for surge and sway are constantly going up and down throwing me around. when driving the value`s go back to normal.

Anyone else has this issue, or what to to about it?

Thanks!

Solved: I didn`t get the correct values in tuning centre, so very small variations gave big movement. Now all is wel

Hi
I'm having trouble getting my dash to work with Gtr2. I have it working with rfactor 2 and know the dash I built is fine but cant seem to get any data in gamedash on Gtr2. I've seen on YouTube that it is possible and eaorobbie posted that dashboards work well with this game, do I need to change any code in the plugin to get dash data activated or is there another piece of software that i need to make this possible. Any suggestions you guys might have to help, would be very much appreciated.

value1 updated GTR 2 – FIA GT Racing Game Plugin with a new update entry:

Update for SimTools V2

Read the rest of this update entry...

Many, Many, Many Thanks...

You've been fast more than one Formula 1...

Guys... who can help me?
Some day ago I formatted and reinstalled a clean operating system (Windows 10 Professional 64bit) on my computer.
Then I proceeded to reinstall SimTools (last version 2.2.5) and the various plugins and then, slowly, I'm proceeding to reinstall the various games.

I also installed the good old GTR2 - FIA GT Racing Game on the Steam platform and before launching it I patched it with its plugin (GTR2_Plugin.2.0.0.2).
In this case, the patching procedure does not provide to indicate a path (No Path Required) but only to patching GTR2... once done the message appears indicating "Patch Installed!".

However, when I launch the game, despite in the SimTools Game Manager window the connection with GTR2 from green turns blue, the movement does not happen and the dynamic platform 3DOF does not move...!
I tried several times to remove and reinsert the patch but unfortunately GTR2 not move, although in the SimTools Game Manager window there is a valid (blue) connection.
I add that until now, with all the other simulation games reinstalled and then patched dynamic movement works perfectly.

Someone is able to tell me what I can do to solve this strange problem?

For BMW M3 Challenge you have to manually define Shared Memory output.
"In order to enable motion data you must modify the file
…\BMW M3 Challenge\UserData\<yourname>\<yourname>.PLR
Open the file with Notepad and search for the line Write Shared Memory. Replace the "0" with a "1". Save the file. Patch the game."
Can you check this in your …\Steam\SteamApps\common\GTR 2 - FIA GT Racing Game\UserData\<yourname>\<yourname>.PLR?

Many Thx... I followed your instructions and now everything is ok.
The game move

Another strange problem with GTR 2...
Today I have update this old but great game with last GTR2 10th Anniversary Patch v9.5 by GTR233 and SimTools GameEngine does not work anymore!

When I launch the game, in the SimTools Game Manager window the connection with GTR2 not change from green to blue, the movement does not happen and the dynamic platform 3DOF does not move...!
I have unistalled and reinstalled the GTR2_Plugin.2.0.0.2 and checked also if the Shared Memory option in <myname>.PLR is set to 1... everything seems fine but unfortunately there is no movement.

If I uninstall this GTR2 10th Anniversary Patch v9.5 everything returns to work regularly and dynamic movement is perfect.

For greater clarity, with the GTR2 10th Anniversary Patch v9.3 previous version, SimTools GameEngine work without any problem.

Someone could tell me how to solve this no motion dilemma?

As always, thanks to those who want to help me

Has the game name changed , ".exe" file. Check in task manager , and exe listed in game manager - profile editor.

Well i might find time to update mine, lol too wrapped in VR - screen never turns on lol

Ciao @Doctor Kruntz and @value1 !
Yesterday I've re-installed this old bat (in my opinion) good game

• Installed the patch GTR2 10th Anniversary Patch v9.5 by GTR233
• Patched the game with 2.0.0.2 plug-in
• modified the file <yourname>.PLR as suggested by @value1 (thanks!)

At the first time the game don't move, but if you use Tooning Center and manually define values between -8/+8 (in my case...) for surge, heave and sway, the system start to move!

My result is at this link and I like it!!!


Ciao!

P.S.
I know, I drive terribly!
