Title: Formula Truck support ?
Post by: benjihunter on March 21, 2013, 12:47:38 pm
Hi there,
As it's released for those who pre-ordered it... Are you guys planning on updating Simdash to support Formula Truck ? (by Reiza, who made Game Stock Car).
It would be great !

Thanks

Benjihunter, I got it working!
Cristiano, I hope you can include Formula Truck properly in an update to SimDash, but in the meantime, it does work if you change the Ftruck.exe file name to gsc.exe

:)

Renaming the executale might work until the game is not supported properly.
Please let us know if it works.

Regards

Cristiano,
see my previous post, it DOES seem to work fully if you rename the exe file to gsc, but it would obviously be good if you could include it correctly in a future update, thanks :)

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me; Simdash says it's configured once I rename the ftruck.exe into gsc.exe, but nothing happens ingame :(

That is strange, it worked straight away for me.
1) rename Ftruck.exe to gsc.exe
2) start simdash, and goto the simulators tab, click on 'configure' for GSC in the menu. Make sure you select your correct installation folder for FTruck.

That should be all there is to it.

?

Yep, that's what I did :/ Simdash says that GSC (FTruck) has been configured well, but ingame nothing happens.
Have you got the V1.0 or the V1.01 ?

I have simdash 1.4.1 and FTruck 1.01.

It is installed in C:\FTruck, not c:\program files... as that can often cause problems.

I can see no other reason why it would not work.

Don't mean to ask a stupid question, but are you definitely starting the program with the 'new' gsc.exe, and not an old shortcut or something like that?

Yep, that's what I do !
Here's a (crappy) video I just took to show you, tell me if I'm doing something wrong...

benjihunter,
I use simdash to power my racepro display and it works fine. It must be the hardware you are using, is that the GI Pro or Max? I do not have that, so maybe Cristiano is the only person who can answer why my racepro works but your display does not :(

You didn't do anytinhg wrong in the video as far as I could see.

Thanks for the reply mate. It's a SPI-D and a GI-Max.

Well, i'll have to wait for a Simdash update :)

Dammit, same thing for Dirt 2&3 !
Everything is configured fine, Simdash recongnizes that the games are running, but ingame, nothing.

And the hardware works fine, as rFactor and Race 07 work well with simdash :(

Does SimDash report that the game is running, when you start Formula Truck?

Can we have FTruck support for next release please.
It uses the same plugin as GSC, so it should not be a big probelm.
For last version it was possible to just change GSC and point it to FT, but from 1.5 it does not work anymore.
