hey guys So within this update there is a change to how the game talks to hardware API changes... so if you have a motion sim or a custom dash etc etc and it no longer works you will have to contact the company that makes it or the company that makes its software when you contact them send them a link to this post that has the GIT HUB repository for the new API system from that they should be able to redo the software and bring the hardware back to life Please dont use this thread to moan about it not working but it be good to have a list of what is and isnt working ... so if you have managed to get an update please list the hardware and link to the software update If it isnt working list it and make a post about what you have managed to do (or not) hopefully with a bit more organised info we can push a little harder or be more organised as a community to find solutions for these issues Andi
Just posted on Renovatio's Facebook page about this to get the SRD-9C working again, awaiting response.
An alternative is to create a wrapper app. A small tool runs and creates the shared memory allocation with the old name and format. It then translates at high frequency the new data into old. So for non updated sw it looks as if nothing changed. There could be additional latency, but I'd think it can work well.
Only use Crew Chief and DashMeter Pro when I race in R3E. Both have been updated to work with the new API, for DMP just download the new version 1.3.1 for GTRx. Both have been working since day 1 for the patch but I figured they are probably some of the most used external softwares so they're a good start for the list.
As soon as i knew that it was going to happen the Api changes i contacted sensa digit and Mr B so we ould get test builds as such .. but i dont have any other hardware etc (motion simvibe etc) so couldnt ask them or test ... but hopefully this will help push stuff forward a bit Andi
Good man Andi, made my transition very smooth. Thumbs up! I imagine anything using Sim Commander software should be working as well seeing Gangi's recent hype about Accuforce support as well as our own Georg running a Stage 4. (So jealous)
Good thinking Andi, have DMP but not Crew Chief. (don't need someone droning in my ear about how crap I am already all too aware of it )
Siminstruments Dash doesn't work since the update. Sent an email a couple of days ago. Will send a new one with the link.
I knocked up a quick n dirty shared memory mapper - https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/shared-memory-api.1525/page-18 It's not complete and I've not done much in the way of testing, but it might help get some of this old hardware working. It doesn't map all the data but I'll extend when I get time. I'll also bung it on github next week
Hi no motion on blue tiger simulator, and srd9c not working both are contact and like S3 no answer.... the result : i pay and can't use them
I still didn't get a reply from Renovatio on the SRD-9C either, disappointing really...not much S3 can do about it though: it's up to the hardware developer to support their -expensive- equipment. In the meantime, use the memory mapper app that mr_belowski posted in post #16 above and everything should work again.
That one isn't going to happen dude, I've been trying to contact them for a year now, so have other's, from what others are saying they have just packed their cases and buggered off.. I have contacted Fanaleds as well as it works for Siminstruments dash, but they are basically hobbyist, so it might happen.
