disabling the auto clucth I was able di see the battery and oil pressure lights on.


Whiskey: what do you mean with FBM?

I am son newbie.

Thank you.

thank you.
I'll try to disable the autocluch.

Thank you MadCatX.

Maybe the problem is I can't create the conditions for some lights to switch on.

For example, the battery warning light probably switches on when the battery is down, and I don't know how to reproduce this condition.

Same for the shift light, is there anything to set to see this light on?

I am going to build this dashboard and I don't want to spend time and money adding warning lights I already know will not work. this is the reason I asked if somebody knew which works and which not.

thank you for your time.

Hello.
I am trying to build a dashboard with lights and gauges.
Checking the OutGauge documentation it looks like I should be able to read the state of the shift light, speed limiter, traction control, oil and battery warnings and ABS lights. But I am not sure they are really implemented because I read them always switched off.

Same problem for the oil temperature and pressure: I alway read zero.

No problems instead reading the fuel level, turning lights, full beam and hand break lights.

Does anybody know which data is really implemented and which isn't?

Thank you.

Hi.
I suspect the following question has been asked many times: I can't read the engine temp, turbo and oil pressure from outgauge packets.

Iis it because this information is not modelled yet it is it because I am using the demo versin of LfS?

Thanks.

I bought my tachometer on Ebay, from this seller:

TiSwAs:
if your tachometers are electronic, they are ok. Non-electronic tachometers are the ones which work with the spinning cable. If you send me a picture of the back of the tachos and connections I can tell you what type they are.

Hi.

This board is supposed to work with any tachometer. I have tested 5 different models and they worked fine. All the tachometers work in the same way so I feel confident you can't find one not supported.

The tacho has at least 3 wires: 12V and ground for the power, and a control wire to drive the niddle. If the tacho has the light (very likely) you have another pair of wires which go to the 12V and the ground again. So the board has 3 terminals: the 12V, the ground and the control terminal, where you connect the 3 (or 5) wires from the tacho.

I wrote the software myself. It is an external application with plugins. Every plugin supports a different simulator. In this way it is more modular and when I want to support a new simulator I just have to add a new plugin. Only two days ago I added the plugin for IRacing.

Speedos are a bit tricky because they can be either mechanical (work with the spinning cable from the wheel) or electronic.

The first type is not supported because I should make the cable spin using an electric motor or something like that. Too messy for me.

The second type works with the same principle of tachometer's and should work with my board. But I haven't done many tests so I can't support it for now, although it is in my todo list.

The software as an option to use a tacho as a speedo: you connect a tachometer but you display the speed. Of course you first have to repaint/replace the dial.

Anyway supporting speedos has a very high priority for me and I am sure quite sure it is technically possible, may be with a software or firmware upgrade.

In the next weeks I am going to put online the website www.symprojects.com which is the place from which to download software and firmware upgrades, as well as new plugins.

There is another product I have been working on and it is a USB gear indicator as cheap as possible, hopefully less than £20.

Will be ready in 4 weeks time.

Regards.

Great.

So this is the link to the auction:

Hi.
I have designed and produced a board to connect an aftermarket rev counter to the PC USB port.

It works with Live for Speed but also with other simulators.

Am I allowed to post a link to Ebay where these boards are being sold?

Thanks
