XD Plugin

Hi all,

Been trying now for 2 days to get the XD plugin for rfactor to work (Carl recommended it  )

Installed to the correct location, It XD file create's after i start the game, But while in game i cannot see it. 
So on Carl's reccomendation i tried Rfactor Lite and installed it there, and again no joy.

So i was wondering if any of you guys had any tips, or maybe even another plugin like this that will show engine/brake wear etc.

Thanks

There seem to be several versions of that plugin around, and some won't work. I had exactly that same problem with the standalone one, but downloaded the one that comes with the map-plug-in and it worked flawlessly. Search for it, and if you can't find it give me a shout and I'll upload it for you this evening (I'm not at home right now)

EDIT: Also try first hitting the key that enables/disables it ---> By default it's the one to the left of the "1" on the keyboard, left side (Not the numpad but the regular part where letters are located), i.e. the upper-left one on the first row, just below "ESC" key.

I tried hitting that key and again no joy, I did find one that uses a map plug in by fazerfox, And the map pluging part loads up, I get a map on screen and a little lap box but nothing else :smil20:And again it creates the XD file after i've played the game. So if that isn't the one your talking about i'll gladly try yours cause i cant find anymore!

Thanks

In the XD.ini, I see that. Maybe it can help you :

Key to switch on/off
; Possible keyboard layouts:
; For DE: http://www.vitumo.de/files/XD/keyStroke.de.txt
; For EN: http://www.vitumo.de/files/XD/keyStroke.en.txt
; Default: 220 = Circumflex Symbol (Next to the '1' key on main-field)
; For English Keyboard layout please insert 192 here (the '`' key), or the key is mapped to the backslash-key
ToggleKey=220

For me it's the key " * "

Thanks Yves, That worked a treat!!

Thanks everyone for the help

I had the same problem but gave up and use GID. I just couldn't understand the above lines.

"Insert 192 here" - Where? After Default or ToggleKey? Why isn't it a bit more precise?

Weird i never had any problems with it just add the dll file into the main directory and it always works

I'm glad you got it working anyway mate ...

Hmm, I use rFDynHud by CTDP, displays lots of information

Well 1st race with the HUD, Was great to have such info, Even managed to damage my Sierra engine (Down to 97%) Thanks again everyone for their help
