[Noob] Reading SimTools outputs

Hello,

I'm new here, and honestly , even If I know what XSim is doing, I have 0 knowledge on it

I made a plugin for rFactor1/rFactor2/AssettoCorsa, Real Head Motion.

Also I have somebody who use my plug who use X-Sim.

Their simulator have yaw motion computed with X-Sim from the game output telemetry, but their screen is static.

Is there a way for me, with a X-Sim plug-in I could code, or shared memory, to read the Yaw computed by X-Sim to send it to my plug so I can move the camera to follow the Yaw computed from X-Sim.

If yes, could you point me to according documentation.

Best Regards.
Seb.

Hello!

I assume you're talking about Simtools!
not X-sim. You can edit your post to avoid any confusion

The telemetry data are extracted by Simtools and sent to a Comport.

Can your plugin read a ComPort?

From my undestanding they are not directly sent to comport, SimTools read game telemetry output ( Gs, velocitie : linear/angular ), and compute a yaw,pitch,roll for the nDOF simulator, right?
I neeed to read that output Yaw.
Reading the comport wouldn't help if don't know the exact structure sent to it. Also it's a bit like a hacking solution to directly read the data output to the comport instead of using a genuine plug-in solution

Hi @magicfr
If I understand you right, you want to read the raw data output of the simulation/game.
For that you can use the documented interfaces of the mentioned games. That's the most direct way.
Alternatively you can send the different data available in SimTools to an IP address.
See the documentation of SimTools and rFactor/Assetto Corsa for more details.

Hi,
No I don't want to read the game's car yaw, I already read it in my plug.
I want to read the motion cockpit yaw computed by SimTools sent to the motion rig.
The motion rig yaw is not equal to game's car yaw, it depend of car's angular velocities and G and parameters set into SimTools ( from my understanding )

Cheers,

Hi yobuddy,

I'm a bit confused, you talk about Net ouput from SimTools that sound like what I want, but Value1 seems to talk about output from the game ( rFactor/AssettoCorsa) which is obviously already what I'm doing in my plug.

Like you both suggested I'll look at SimTools documentation . I didn't find it on the website so I guess I have to download it.

Cheers,
Seb

For documentation, you have a Starting point with the link in my signature below
Then you will see the subsection forum from there
(No easy link copy paste with smartphone sorry)
