Grid Auto Sport support

[Avenga]

Hi.

I was just wondering if you were going to add Grid Autosport support.

It is still using the Ego engine so it should be the same as the other codemasters games like Dirt/Grid/F1

I have pre-ordered my copy of Grid and I would really like to use my gauges with it.

It is released on the 27th of june.

I will buy a copy when it is released and try to support it.

thanks

I had a play round with Grid Autosport and I got all my gauges and Sim Screens going.

I tricked Sim Dash in to thinking F1 2013 was running by making a little place holder program called called F1_2013.exe so that Sim Dash would activate. Then pointed the UDP traffic at Sim Dash like a normal codies game and it all worked.

The name of the grid executable is GRIDAutosport_avx.exe

You probably just need to get Sim Dash to monitor for that exe and activate when it sees it.

I hope that helps

Did this get forgotten about in the new version 6 update?

I don't see it in the list of games in Sim Dash 6.

It is the standard Codemasters telemetry. You just need to monitor for GRIDAutosport_avx.exe

I have it running on my Pro-gauge, Rev Burner and Sim Screens using the workaround I posted earlier.

i have found an very good walkaround and it works:

here the site where i found this
http://www.siminstruments.com/software/setup.txt

To get Grid Autosport to work:
Open the file C:\Users\[james]\Documents\My GamesGRID Autosport\hardwaresettings\hardware_settings_config.xml in notepad.
Changing [james] with our windows login name.
Update the line near the end that starts with "<motion" to look the same as below;
<motion enabled="true" ip="127.0.0.1" port="20777" delay="1" extradata="3" />

If you are running other software, fanaleds, simxperience, you can customise the port used above.
The the following files;
Grid Autosport - 513b39d5-dbc8-4906-8857-71217baaa211_plugIn.xaml
The should now be these three options; PortIn="20777" PortOut="20778" ExtraDataOut="2"

Change the portin to the port you want Siminstruments to read data from, and then PortOut to the port you want Siminstruments to send data to.
ExtraDataOut, to get the most out of Codemasters telemetery data it is best to have the game set to ExtraDataOut="3" for Siminstruments software. If you have other software that can only handle ExtraDataOut="2" then set them to pick up data from the PortOut with ExtraDataOut set to 2 in the above _plugIn.xaml.
