SimDash 1.3.4 beta

[Cristiano]

Hello.

The following:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3544050/SimDash.1.3.4.Beta.zip

it the link for the download of SimDash 1.3.4 beta.

The content of the ZIP file must be extracted into a new folder and double click SimDash.exe to start the application.

New features in this version:

• The plugin for the Rev Burner for speedometers has been updated to support the speedometers that require a signal with higher frequency.
• F1 2011 is supported. the game must be configured like F1 2010. Follow the same instructions.
• In the Pro Shift configuration screen it is possible to define two condition for which a LED is switched on.
• The IRacing plugin supports the new API. the good thing about the new API is that more clients can connect at the same time (so no more need of the IWrap proxy) and more data is exported. this is the data that is available now:
  
  • Rpm
  • Rpm expressed in %
  • Gear position
  • Speed
  • Water temperature
  • Oil temperature
  • Oil pressure
  • Brake, throttle and clutch positions
  • Fuel quantity
  • Fuel quantity expressed in %
  • Lap number
  • Position in race
  • Current lap time
  • Last lap time
  • Best lap time
  • Oil warning
  • Water temperature warning
  • Rev limiter warning
  • Speed limiter
  • Fuel pressure warning
  • Engine stalled warning
  • Black, white, green, yellow, blue and red flags

Everything seems to work ok. I particularly like the rev limiter warning light.

What I think need to be tested more carefully, is the time of the current lap and lap number. In particular they should be tested during a race and please let me know if they don't work correctly.

Please let me know if you find anything wrong and I will fix it before next final release if out.

Thanks
Cristiano

Hi Christiano

I've tried the beta and this is what i have encounter,

1- When you minimize it does not go in the aplication that is running in the start menu bar at the bottom it stay minimize just like any open aplication, beta version was installed.
2- I tried upgrading to get the 4 switch working, after the initial startup, was not able to go in boot mode other than by restarting my computer with the switch (prog) on and uplug it during reboot of my machine.
3- Did the upgrade and no matter what i tried it was not detecte.
4- Just to make sure i went back to 1.3.3 with the 4 switch everything work perfectly again.

Hello.
Thank you for testing.
If you enable logging in SimDash, a file with name ErrorLog.txt is created in the SimDash folder. this file will contain the description of everything SimDash does and also the reason the Pro Shift is not detected. To enable loggin, you have to edit the file SimDash.exe.config and change this line:

<level value="ERROR"/>

in:

<level value="ALL"/>

Then start SimDash, connect the Pro Shift, close SimDash.
If you could send me the created ErrorLog.txt file, that would be very useful.

Thank you for your help.

Hello.
Thank you for sending the log file.
But what was the situation with SimDash when you created the file? because from what I can read all the plugins for the simulators and devices were successfully loaded and the rev burner and Pro Shift were properly detected and the green light displayed.

did you get the same thing?

if you get something different a screenshot would be useful.

thank you.

Thanks sooo much Cristiano!!!

The new simdata program has give new life to my speed-o-meter. It now reaches its full mph.

A joy to see my ferrari hit full speed (184mph) on the long straights of Monza.

BUT I cannot get it to go over 160mph with X-SIM!!!

Can Cristiano explain how to do this please?

that's because the xsim plugin must be updated too.

I have added it to my TODOs list.
