[Please restore them if possible.]

The forum software has been updated.
Hopefully this will solve, or at least strongly mitigate, the problem with spammers.

Sadly almost all avatars and several attachment files seem to have been lost during the switch.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please restore them if possible.

Also, Youtube videos are embedded in a different, much easier, way. Please note that it's not possible to change the video size.
Unfortunately the old videos don't work anymore.

Please report if you find any other problem.

This plugin http://www.mx-bikes.com/downloads/minput64.dli allows to control the kart using the mouse.
It must be copied in the "plugins" folder in the Kart Racing Pro installation directory.
Then the mouse input must be assigned clicking on the "Steer" button in Kart Racing Pro -> Settings -> Input

Please report if it works correctly.

All Hail the King!

If the Windows scaling is set to a value over 100% then Kart Racing Pro will start at a lower resolution to compensate for the automatic scaling.

To solve the issue and use the full resolution: right-click on the Kart Racing Pro icon -> Properties -> Compatibility

Then, on Windows 10:
Click on Change high DPI settings -> "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:"
Select "Application"

On Windows 7/8 instead:
Click on "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings"

Starting with Release6, Kart Racing Pro integrates a plugin that allows to receive UDP data from the simulated kart in realtime.

To enable it and set the parameters, edit the file "proxy_udp.ini" in the Kart Racing Pro installation folder:

Code Select Expand

[params]
enable = 1
port = 30000
ip = 127.0.0.1:30001
delay = 1

port: outbound port
ip: inbound address and, optional, port ( if missing, the outbound port is used )
delay: hundredths of second between packets

The packet format:
"data": null-terminated string
"state": integer. 0: software running; 1: on-track, simulation paused; 2: on-track, simulation running
"time": integer, milliseconds.
The rest of the packet follows the "SPluginsKartData_t" structure of the plugins interface: http://www.kartracing-pro.com/downloads/krp_example.c

In the proxy_udp.ini file, add the line

Code Select Expand

info = 1
to enable the streaming of the event, session, lap and split data.

Data format of the event packet, sent every second:
"evnt": null-terminated string
The rest of the packet follows the "SPluginsEventData_t" structure of the plugins interface.

Data format of the session packet, sent every second:
"sesn": null-terminated string
The rest of the packet follows the "SPluginsKartSession_t" structure of the plugins interface.

Data format of the lap packet, sent five times a second:
"lap ": null-terminated string
The rest of the packet follows the "SPluginsKartLap_t" structure of the plugins interface.

Data format of the split packet, sent five times a second:
"splt": null-terminated string
"split": integer. 0: the latest line crossed is the start / finish one; 1: the latest line crossed is a split one
The rest of the packet follows the "SPluginsKartSplit_t" structure of the plugins interface.

If creating a dirt track using heightmaps, it is possible to save the deformation generated on the terrain and use it as the track default.

1) Open the file global.ini ( by default generated in "My Documents"/PiBoSo/Kart Racing Pro/ ) and add the following lines:

Code Select Expand

[edit]
deformation=1
2) Drive several laps in testing mode on a track to create the deformation ( it's possible to use deformation_multiplier to generate it faster )
3) Press left ctrl + d: a file named temp.dfm will be saved in the KRP installation folder
4) Rename temp.dfm to track_id.dfm ( for example: oval.dfm ) and move it to the proper track folder, with the matching TRH file
5) KRP should automatically read the dfm file at track load time

Inverse kinematic is used to animate the steer links and shift linkages and to link the driver hands to the shifter, intake and radiator.

To show the link points ( cyan ) and the targets ( magenta ), edit the file global.ini ( by default generated in "My Documents"/PiBoSo/Kart Racing Pro/ ) and add:

Code Select Expand

[debug]
links = 1


To enable debug mode, edit the file global.ini ( by default generated in "My Documents"/PiBoSo/Kart Racing Pro/ ) and add:

Code Select Expand

[debug]
physics = 1

[Note: If the Windows Taskbar overlaps the KRP window preventing the cursor from reaching the bottom of the user interface, please try right clicking on the shortcut icon and, in the Properties, selecting Run Maximised.]

When installing Kart Racing Pro a desktop shortcut named "Kart Racing Pro - VR" should be created.
It launches KRP with the "-vr" command line switch, that enables VR support.

If both a Rift and a Vive are installed on the same PC, it's possible to force Oculus using the "-vro" switch, and SteamVR using "-vrs".

In Kart Racing Pro -> Settings -> Input3 it's possible to set the control to reset the VR camera tracking. The default key is F8. It resets the position and rotation of the user interface virtual screen, too.

It is possible to change the Oculus pixel density, creating a text file called oculus.ini in the KRP installation folder and adding the following lines:

Code Select Expand

[render]
pixel_density=1.5

By default, the rendering of both eyes is mirrored to the KRP window.
It is possible to change the mirroring setting creating a text file called oculus.ini or openvr.ini in the KRP installation folder and adding the following lines:

Code Select Expand

[mirror]
eye = 2
The possible values are:
-1: mirroring disabled
0: left eye
1: right eye
2: both eyes

On Oculus only, it is also possible to add, under the "mirror" section

Code Select Expand

post = 1
to show the barrel distorted render in the desktop window.

For SteamVR only, it is possible to add to the openvr.ini file

Code Select Expand

[ipd]
scale = 0.9
to modify the IPD, changing the world scale.

Note: If the Windows Taskbar overlaps the KRP window preventing the cursor from reaching the bottom of the user interface, please try right clicking on the shortcut icon and, in the Properties, selecting Run Maximised.
