Hi,

I thought would share some details on a hardware project for my simulator setups. Feel free to add details of your own.

I just bought a chassis and I am going to turn it into a setup for kart and open wheel style sims. I will mod it to run from a bottom mounted G27/G25 turning the steering shaft. At this stage I plan to make the pedals work with a hall effect sensor input. I will also adapt a shifter and clutch system. I will post more images and build details as I progress for anyone interested.

I have been talking with the developers over at X-Sim about supporting KRP. There is some progress happening, please see the following thread.

Here is a sample project for those who would find it useful. It basically wraps up the sample code provided by Piboso into visual c++ and compiles the dll.

I was thinking that this could be modified/contributed to by other members to create some sort of proxy so that the sim only has to serve one dll, then other callers can grab it at their own rate from a memory map or other suitable device. This has a few advantages, firstly it would reduce the possibility that somebody writes a dll that is not right and causes a drop in frame rate, and also it means KRP only has to process the task of passing the telemetry to one dll which would have a good effect if there ends up being a lot of plugins made for the software over time.

Would like to hear other people thoughts.

I just found these Tony Kart setups online. I have not tried them but might be useful in the game.

Are there any plans to be able to import/support the tracks from the previous car and bike sims made by Piboso?
