what difference between this version and the https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/project-cars-plugin.34/ version ??

the second one work for me ... any reason to change ?

This one uses UDP instead of shared memory. UDP is less likely to be broken after a game patch, among other advantages
If you are happy with the one you have, stick to it. "If it works, dont break it"
If you need GameDash values provided by mine, switch to mine

no need actually of game dash ... i'll stay on my actual !! but take a look on this

Good work! I want to use it with Game Dash now!

Thanks for your work

im using oculus home version, when i patch it, it doesn't ask where, then states patch successful.
I boot (this OH version) from steam.
any ideas?
Do you still have to make a txt file?
cheers

No. No more txt file needed. But you still need to activate UDP in the game settings and start the plugin

Done this but no joy.
Anyone got this working with Oculus Home version of Pcars?

I haven't tried booting from oculus direct yet. I think I'll give that a go.

You must make sure UDP data is sent to your PC once in race/pratcice. Several options to do that :
- Use the VB_UDP_Receiver.exe file which is in the console version of the plugin (or attached to this post)
- Use the python UDP receiver from here https://github.com/vthinsel/Python_UDP_Receiver
- Use wireshark and check for data received on UDP port 5606

If no traffic is received, check firewalls. In case several PCs are involved (project cars on a different PC than simtools), make sure they are on the same IP network, as project cars uses UDP broadcast which will not go through routing

Not been on for while...
very much appreciated, sounds right, im confident that will be the missing link!

We are running into an issue. when two PCs are in same subnet and use UDP PCARs plugin SimTools on Both PCs are driven from PCARs game on First PC. So SimTools on both PCs are getting telemetry over UDP from one game instead of each other only from local games corresponding. Looks like UDP propagate all over LAN instead of localhost only . It is a nature of UDP?
Looks like it is impossible to change port in PCARs and in plugin DLL.

Hello,

It is not due to UDP, but the way PCars sends data : it uses the broadcast destination IP so everyone gets the data.
The solution is to filter based on source IP : on your PC you must block traffic from the unwanted instance of project cars. I guess windows firewall could do the job.
