[REL] Headlight controls

Hi, I've been enjoying using this. It was working fine earlier in the year, but its been a mixed bag recently. I've been using it for some online league endurance racing events in LMP2, it works when practicing on the race servers leading upto the event, but for whatever reason its failed to work on race day when i really could do with it. Can't think why this would be? Problem is on race day you can't really experiment or test as you are only allowed in the server when your driving.
 
I don’t have an answer for either of those two problems or even any idea where to start looking. There will be a new version soon-ish but I don’t expect it to affect fundamental issues like those.

[Flash headlights]
controller = Thrustmaster TX Racing Wheel
control = 8
.... but still not working. Any idea?

hey. This looks like a great app. But I am getting an error that I think is due to my RF2 files being on a drive that isn't C. Is there a way to tell the app to look where I have the game installed? Thanks! Art

Yes, see rF2headlights\headlightControls.ini, there's a line in there
Code: 
controller_file = %ProgramFiles(x86)%/Steam/steamapps/common/rFactor 2/Userdata/player/controller.json

OK. I tried putting my full game directory in there but no joy. Is there a ine I need to add to the Controller.json file? Sorry for the Newbie questions. Outside of SimRacings, I work on Macs all day.
My edit to headlightContols.ini: controller_file = f:/ProgramFiles(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/rFactor 2/Userdata/player/controller.json

Where are you running it from.
I've dropped the rF2Headlights.exe file straight into my Bin64 folder (same one where the rFactor2.exe is)
 
(It shouldn't matter where the exe file is)

I think that should be
Code: 
controller_file = f:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/rFactor 2/Userdata/player/controller.json
with spaces.
 
Firstly, thanks for this, the sim should have it as default but this is the next best thing

I encountered an odd issue when I was part of a team sharing 1 car
The first person to drive the car (me included if I do the first stint) would have no issue and the lights would flash correctly.

In rfactor 2, to swap drivers the next person joins the server as a spectator and then joins the driver in the car, control then swaps to the non driving spectator during a pit stop and the driver becomes the spectator
The new driver isn't able to flash headlights, the checkboxes on the program don't show him as being on track

Any ideas?

No, I found the number of times specified in the rules so left it fixed. You can press it twice... or edit the program to do what you want :D
