Project Cars 2 on PS4 : no UDP, no ButtonBox support

Hi @vthinsel .
First of all, compliments and thanks for this work.
I've a question about connection , between PS4, PC and Arduino.
Is it correct what I write? PS4 connect to Internet via WiFi - PS4 connect to PC via LAN cable - and naturally PC to Arduino via USB?

Thanks in advance

No internet connection is needed to have the plugin working
PS4 connected on LAN, as well as PC. PS4 can use either wifi OR ethernet, not both at the same itme.Be carefull with Wifi as project cars sends broadcasts packets which may be filtered out by some Wifi repeaters/ access points. For better reactivity, I also recommend to keep on wired connections, even using CPL adapters. less than 1ms ping versus 3-4ms (or more....) in some cases with wifi

I asked , because, normally I play online.

In my case, PS4 is far from router, so the connection is made via wifi. I would like to connect PS4 and PC via LAN cable.

Thanks

Sorry @vthinsel , but if I would to connect ps4 and PC , via wifi, to try (at the moment , I don't have the cable) the plugin UDP, where I need to put the IP address of PS4, in Game Manager?
I didn't find , any information , about that.

Thanks

As I said, you dont have to configure any IP adresses as project cars uses broadcast. Broadcasting implies that your PC (personal computer, not project cars...) and PS4 are on the same subnet.
Another drawback of broadcast is if you have several project cars running at the same time. In that case you have to filter on the receiver side.
Broadcast is easier, but not clean network wise. Network admins do not like it at all as it uses bandwidth as all devices on the subnet receive the data.
So just start the plugin, activate UDP telemetry in project cars and you are done

@vthinsel ,
I asked , because the first time I tried , but nothing worked.
After , I remembered that , PS4 wifi was in 5GHz and PC in 2.4GHz.
I set the same wifi frequency and now , the engines move!!

Thank you very much , for the work!
I've to pay you , a beer

hi I downloaded the plugin project cars 2 udp I plug my lan cable between my ps4 and pc and I'm nothing that moves in tuning center help me

Did you have activate the UDP protocol, on Project Cars 2?
See this link : https://www.pocketplayground.net/rs-dash-pcars2

yes the udp is activated on 1. wifi it works but not good I do not have a good reception these why I put in ethernet but the simu does not move at all.faut he configure something on the pc or on the ps4?

I suggest you write to the plugin thread https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...ses-new-udp-format-manual-plugin-start.11049/
UDP format is version 2. Check the video in the above link to setup correctly the game.
Wifi is not recommended (broadcast filtering, UDP packets drop,...)

help my ps4 is connected to the pc via ethernet cable my project on udp is activated and nothing moves if it parametre anything on the ps4 or on the pc. thank you

no values in tuning center ?
no firewall on PC ? Check you can ping your PS4 from your PC (get the PS4 IP from its menu)
screenshots please (game manager, game engine setting axes & axis) so we can check, including on PS4 (using PS4 remote play is great for that).

Hello,
My playseat is going by two wiper motors with PS4 Project cars 2 and now I'm starting to install the third worm gear motor, traction loss.
Now I don't understand if the plugin UDP for PS4 have the traction loss effect. I think I need set up the traction loss motor on EXTRA 1 with 100%.
Is it ok?
Thanks
Best Regards

Hello,

I've a problem with the wiper motor, I think the feedback curve (green Line) isn't good. So I'd like to have some suggestions to improve the wiper motor operation. See the files about my two motors.
Thanks
Best regards
