Rev burner don't work with NFS Shift

[Cristiano]

I found sometimes the NfS plugin dones't work correctly when no patch is installed.

But with the 1.02 patch everything seems right.

Do you experience the problem with the rev burner when you start q Quick Race or when in Career mode?

Does the NfS plugin work for anybody else or only for me.

Cheers

Only tested it once with quick race.

I've only tried in quick race.  (I don't really use the career mode) but I will try when I get back and let you know.

By the way Cristiano did you get my PM's about my Pro Shift board? Sent a couple of times now  :-(

I tried in career mode, quick race with different cars and it doesn't work. RevBurner (speedometer), SPI-D, GI Pro is working.

Sorry I don't get private messages notifications from the forum.

Just re-installed from scratch and tried career and quick race modes both with and without patch. Same outcome for all I'm afraid    GI-max works fine but nothing from either rev-burner (tach or speedo)

[Cristiano]

Did you download the patch from here:

http://www.needforspeed.com/downloads
I did. Tested both version of the patch (North America and "Other languages")


Tomorrow I am going to do some tests on a different computer.

Cheers Cristiano. Is there any way I can tell if the game is actually outputting the data? If there's anything I can do to help you please let me know.

I know it's arcadey and not a sim but if mates come over and want a blast on my rig it's what I stick on as you can jump in having never played a racing game before and get the hang of it in 15 mins.

Be nice to have the dash working with this title simply for showing off purposes.

That's odd because my RevBurner that I use to drive a speedometer works fine in Shift. It's only the tacho revburner that doesn't work.
GI Pro and the SPI-D function as it should.

I used the "other language" patch.

[chris p duck]

Yeah it's odd, hopefully there's the same problem causing both 

I'm using the "other language patch" might try a new install and try the North America patch if I have some time later to see if there's any difference.

Yes Cristiano, I downloaded the patch from there.

[chris p duck]

Ok well I have a little bit more info:

I deleted my pukka paid for retail boxed version and installed one that I errr, "found" online. (I don't condone this but feel no guilt myself as I have the paid for version in my possession).

I'm now the same a Kikie, my GI-Max and speedo rev burner work fine, nothing from the tachometer rev burner though.

Weirdly if I install patch 1.02 and set simdash to patch 1.02 then nothing works ?!?

However if I tell simdash it's not patched the GI-max and speedo work again.


I'm not sure if it'll help but if I set the GI-max to blink when the RPM is under 1000 it always blinks (infact I set it to blink if the rpm is under 5 and it always blinks)


Not sure what other combos, options I can try but again if I can help please let me know :-)

[Cristiano]

Thank you.
I am also doing more tests on a different machine.

Does Shift 1 work yet with RevBurner?

[Cristiano]

No.
And I am not sure I can fix it.

But I have NfS Shift 2 ready if anyone wants to test it.

[nescafe37]
