LMU and Motec

DAMPlugin for rF2 works. You'd grab the manual install, put the .dll into the LMU plugins folder, put the PluginData folder into the LMU folder (should give sounds to indicate logging status). If you run LMU and quit again you should find an .ini file in your UserData\player folder to configure the plugin options.

You may need to enable the plugin once the game has picked it up, by editing the entry in UserData\Player\CustomPluginVariables.JSON (just need to set "Enabled":1 for the plugin(s) you want.
 
Hi,

Need some help regarding Motec.

I did install the plugin as stated above, I get the sound at startup and a log.

But when I open a log in a workspace I created initially for ACC, I get no data. At least I wanted to see brake, throttle, steering angle and FFB output.

Should a workspace created for ACC work for LMU in Motec ? Or maybe I need to create one from scratch ?

Anyone got a working workspace to share ?

Best regards,

Pierre
 
I also took the workspace from ACC, logged telemetry files, I can see the laptimes in the Motec, but there is no data what so ever. What else is there to do?

Most likely different channel names between ACC and LMU/DAMPlugin. Check those empty channels and replace them accordingly. Note: some channels might not have an equivalent at all, as that data isn't provided/logged.

Most likely and if you want to use the same workbook for different sims (which do provide the signals) you can use the MoTec Channel Mapping or Alias feature

I have figure that out, I create a brand new base workspace for LMU, and started from there adjusting worksheets and adding channels.
One question, how come, and what to do if there is no particular channel I would like? Like Traction Conrol, and Rake for example?

The game telemetry doesn't provide some information, like TC level. This also impacts DDU or tablet/phone displays via Simhub (including regen etc), there's been a mention of work here so hopefully one day that'll be available.

Not sure what "ranke" means. You can enable all the groups in DAMPlugin.ini, that'll give you a whole heap of "scoring" related values, could be related.

Thx for the answer.
Sorry, I meant Rake, I made a mistake. And I think it is there, its called Body Pitch, although its not really a Rake thing. But we can get the data of the bar moving longitudinally.

Well, if I am not mistaken you should have a channel for front and rear ride-height. Therefore you should be able to calculate the rake in MoTec using a math-expression. 'Ride Height - Rear' [mm]-'Ride Height - Front' [mm]

This is how that looks in my workbook

Amazing, didn't know we can use formulas, to create new Channels.
Now I have to type in a formula which would calculate an angle between front and rear ride height (in degrees), so I would get something like this:

I was trying to calculate the angle in degrees with formula:
tan(y/x), but it somehow not working:

Do you have any clue how to use it correctly?
 
Emilian Huminiuc said:
It's atan(x) (arctangent, the angle that has tangent of value x, result is in radian, so you need to then convert that to degrees, multiply the result with 180/PI)

And what I should put for the x? I thought
x='Rear Ride Height' [mm] / ('Vehicle Wheelbase' [mm]

But its not working, formula is not correct.

What I did:

Try this
Code: 
atan2((('Ride Height RL' [mm] + 'Ride Height RR' [mm])/2 )-(('Ride Height FL' [mm] + 'Ride Height FR' [mm])/2),'Vehicle Wheelbase' [mm]) * (180/'PI' [])
Rear ride height and Front ride height don't seem to be output, they're always 0 here.

hmmm...... (y)
WORKS!
Damn I'm rusty, I have to refresh my knowledge about angular functions :)

Man, I should have thought of rake! 🤦‍♂️😅
 
Hello,
I'm trying to get the plugin working.
Are <DATA_PATH> and <USER_PATH> supposed to work or do I have to use other alias or absolute path?
