    I was talking about FIA regs, I didn’t think about league rules. I’ll have a look at how hard it is to change.

    I've made the change as it was quite simple. Trying to get it into a working package is proving more of a challenge :mad:

    No problem, it was something I needed to clean up but now git has just trashed much of the work I've done today :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
    Do I do it again while it's fresh in my memory or do I take a hammer to my computer?

    debug code is:
    'rf2headlightsDEBUG.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    Thank you for the great tool. It would be great if you could investigate this. I participate in endurance races, as many other people in the forum, where driver swap is required, but unfortunately the tool stops working once a swap is done so I had to stop using it. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Cheers

    :rolleyes: Something wrong with initialising headlightControls.ini, download https://github.com/TonyWhitley/rF2headlights/releases/download/V1.8.71/headlightControls.ini
    and overwrite the one in the same folder as the .exe
    I'll look into why.


    That version has magically disappeared ;) V1.8.72 has the fix

    Thanks a lot for this one @Seven Smiles, I can´t even use rF2 without it.

    Recently I had to unistall rf2light and install it again. since i did that the flashing isn't working. The turn on lights function works fine, but no flashes. On the plugin it seems to detect that i am flasing but not pm rf2 ?!

    This says you don't have H mapped to the Headlight control in rFactor

    Does pressing H in the game toggle the headlights?

    @Seven Smiles did you ever plan to port your tool to simhub as plugin too?
    A guy attempted something similar to your work (even if still very basic) so gave me the idea...your plugin would be very useful for AMS too or other titles and SimHub is a great tool used by many.. if you could combine the two wouldn't be great? :D

    No, I wish I had thought of it as it looks a lot simpler to implement!

    Are the new settings for items such as auto headlight gonna mess with your app?

    I've done 3 or 4 versions of it already, kinda lost interest now. A thought on a SimHub / AMS version is that I think rF2 is the only game that gives the headlight status (e.g. rF1 doesn't) so you could flash the headlights but there would be no guarantee whether they were on or off afterwards.
