Followed all the directions but nothing happens, doesnt seem to connect.

edit: Ok got it working, just had to press connect while in the main LFS window. But i cant seem to find the fuel info? Could you possibly add how many laps could can be done with the remaining fuel?

Thanks

edit part 2: Thankyou so very much for this addon, been waitting a long time for this. The only problem i have is that i get no info for fuel (just a 01 all the time) Any chance for a fix?

Are you getting this fuel problem with all of the cars or just with one?

EDIT: Fixed.

Doesnt work for me. I've even tried to send it to another ip to view on another pc. Please help... I want to use it with an lcd as a dash.

Can you post some pics when you've done it and tell us how? What screen to you intend to use?
hey id love to use this but for some reason i cant.... i have followed the instructions about 30 times.... and whenever i press connect nothing happens. im using it on the same pc as lfs how can i get it working
Yep, it seems that in a local LAN it doesnt' work...

Maybe we have to change outsim and outgauge settings in cfg files... Any idea?
Worked on first try for me on my secondary monitor. I'll be keeping my eye on this one, as it's one of the things that I've wanted for LFS for a while.
how did u get it workin??
i press connect and nothing happens.... ive follwed the instructions perfect
That's a really useful tool, would be nice to see some more info like laptimes and if it's possible a map or some kind of indicator of whether you're racing the car in front/behind.

I think the speed bar is rather pointless and maybe could be removed but like the simple and easy to read style you've used
