    Amazing isnt it? I mean as new rf2 player, you are immediatly facing this bug. You buy a new sim, saying its so great, and you SEE a simple yet easy to fix malfunction right away. (Next to total messed fuel consumption values sometimes). And S397 does not care. Do they play their own game at least sometimes???

    Hi all, I have an issue with the shared memory plugin on rf2, since I cant turn it on in game. It says "on (after restart)", but when I restart the game it appears off again.
    Any help??
    Thanks!

    I don't know what's causing that but you can do it manually, edit c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\UserData\player\CustomPluginVariables.JSON (or wherever you have rFactor installed) which should have an entry something like this

    Code:
      "rFactor2SharedMemoryMapPlugin64.dll":{
        " Enabled":1,
        "DebugISIInternals":0,
        "DebugOutputLevel":0,
        "DedicatedServerMapGlobally":0,
        "EnableDirectMemoryAccess":1,
        "UnsubscribedBuffersMask":32
      }
    Note the space in
    Code:
    " Enabled":1,

    It's a basic part of rFactor whether or not you use this plugin. If it's not there it might explain why you can't turn the plugin on! No, if it's not there there won't be anything to turn on.

    09/07/2020 - v3.7.14.2

    This version introduces input buffers. See "Input Buffers" readme section (on Github) for more info.

    Plugin:
    * Expose `rF2PitInfo` and `rF2Weather` buffers. Special thanks for prototyping `AccessPitMenu` and `CheckHWControl` plugin functionality go to Seven Smiles.
    * Expose `rF2HWControl` input buffer, which allows sending limited number of inputs into the game.
    * Expose `rF2WeatherControl` input buffer, which allows changing weather conditions dynamically.
    * Expose `rF2PluginControl` input buffer. Allows requesting additional plugin features dynamically.
    * Experimental: Expose `rF2RulesControl` input buffer, which allows sending rules input into the game.
    * Intenral: rework tracing and reduce code duplication.

    Monitor:
    * Updated to demo newly added features.

    Thanks to @The Menace for helping testing and tracking down a bug in an early version

    Hi Iron Wolf,
    I used your rf2Monitor code, and removed almost everything, just to use it as a FFB Clipping Tool Buzzer.
    Basically the only thing made was an added "if" to play the buzzer if the FFB value is 1 (using the Abs for the negative values)
    Hope you don't mind, since for me it's easier to test the clipping this way.
    As a Logitech user, using your code made easier to setup my wheel.
    I didn't want to start a new thread, because to be honest, I don't want to "steal" you excellent work.

    Thank you for your amazing tools and add-ons.

    Absolutely - you can use it for your uses and share it with others :) Though stuff like that better fits simhub that uses my plugin for FFB meter and would surely allow script doing what you wanted.

    I can't get the Monitor to work, I just get the Not Connected message. What have I done wrong?

    Is it true that this plugins uses memory hack technics to access data which is not available by the common plugin interface?

    No. It just uses the API published by S397.

    Corrected by The Iron Wolf.

    If you know something different, you could show any source?

    And shows that cheating can work (and how)?

    Anyone wanting to do such things for nefarious purposes can easily find how to do such things. It's not like those functions are secret. I'm not sure what your motive is here.
