    I had the same problem as you describe.
    I did exactly the same, as you said.....

    "I already enabled the telemetry data in the game I put the ip 127.0.0.1 the port 4123.
    In UDP relay settings I also put 127.0.0.1 and port 4123 and when I press play in the forza plugins it does not activate it and I have no data BECAUSE"

    You just enter the data in the game. You don't need to enter the details again on the plugin page, just leave that blank and it should work fine.

    Hi Yobuddy, having problem when Dirt 2.0 running VR. It seems the rig not receiving telemetry from the game when using VR, if it runs with monitor it runs fine (without OpenVR).
    I did drag n drop Dirt 2.0 OpenVR exe file to the banner, but still can't move my rig.

    It's going to happen to anyone that had not re-registered in the last month or so.
    But clicking activating license will fix it for anyone it happens too.
    Thanks for the message!

    Are you talking about dirt rally 2.0?
    My guess is they have another exe for vr?
    The plugin is looking for a process named "dirtrally2" please see if this process is running when the game is live.
    My guess is there is another process name for the game like "dirtrally2_vr"?
    Anyway, take a peek and let me know.

    The exe or the shortcut you use to launch the game, is what you will want set for the launch exe.
    (The file you drop on the game banner)
    I don't think OpenVR is what you want, but I have not used it either so not fully sure.
    Anyway, let me know what you find for the process name of the game while running.

    UPDATE: I don't see a Dirt 2.0 OpenVR exe file. Is this only with the oculas version or something?

    ohh, I meant that Dirt Rally 2.0 is running in OpenVR. In Windows app lists there are Steam and SteamVR game folders. Then I drag that to the banner from the SteamVR folder.
    This screenshot is from those both folders.

    I’m running WMR.

    What is the running process name of the game?
    The plugin is only looking for "dirtrally2.exe".

    Or maybe you never ran the game in vr before you installed the plugin?
    It will only patch the "hardware_settings_config_vr.xml" file if it exists when you installed the plugin.

    @yobuddy, I have fixed it by choosing the right “dirtrally2.exe” and dragged to banner. I was dragging the exe shortcut. Also I have to run OpenVR first and then the Dirt Rally 2.0.
    Doing great right now!

    Thanks yobuddy;)

    I apologize if this isn't the thread for this question.

    I'm having a weird issue with Assetto Corsa (not Compettizione): no matter how I adjust the ROLL axis settings, the rig will ROLL in the same direction as the car is turning, instead of the opposite direction. So if I turn LEFT, the rig will ROLL LEFT. If I turn RIGHT, the rig will ROLL RIGHT.....??

    I've only adjusted the obvious AXIS alignments. Is there something I'm missing?? I ran and completed several races before installing the plugin, as instructed. I've done the Tuning Center capture like 3 or 4 times.

    HELP! :p

    What do your axis assignments look like?
    (There is 'Dir' check boxes to flip the output direction.)

    May I see a picture of your sim?
    From your settings, it looks like you have two actuators? (a front left and front right actuator)
    I suggest we only enable one DOF at a time.
    Depending on your sim (need to see a pic), surge sway and heave should give a great ride.
    Let's get those working first.

    It's a DOF Reality H2. I've had it since 2018. Been using SimTools since then. Played exclusively Elite Dangerous.

    Fanatec had a really good sale recently so I decided to go ahead and jump into the racing scene. Everything went pretty straight forward, since I'm familiar with SimTools.

    I still have to really dial in the settings, but the ones I posted are working pretty well. I'm getting really nice movement on all the axis...except for that weird issue of the rig not reversing directions when I change the settings in SimTools. Don't get me wrong, it does ROLL left and right, just not the direction I want.

    As you saw in the previous pic, I changed the directions on the ROLL axis, but no effect.

    Thank you for your time.

    Try something like this.
    Try setting the % used to 0 and concentrate on one DOF at a time.
    After you know each one works right, then turn them all back on and you are golden.

    Sway should allow the sim to roll away from the corners.
    (if it does not, click the DIR check box on both, swapping the direction or output)

    Surge should make the sim lean back with gas and forward while breaking.
    (if it does not, click the DIR check box on both)

    Heave should make the seat move forward over a bump.
    (if it does not, click the DIR check box on both)
