Grid 2019 & simracing proxy server (SRPS) solved

[clarkii]

Hi, my Sim Race F1 works properly with Grid 2019 via the SLI Max Mgr Grid 2019 plugin.

However, if I start your proxy server to forward UDP to another port the device won't light up.  One thing I noticed was the SLI Max Mgr windows detected the game (it read Grid 2 Startup) but then a message 'Manager Unloaded' was shown and this cycle (Grid 2 startup -> Manager Unloaded) repeated.  If I stopped the proxy server the device lights up & works properly.

See if you can provide some advice on this, thanks!

Hello,

Please be more specific when you ask for assistance (screenshot of SRPS config maybe suitable).
Which Proxy? CMPS (Codemasters Proxy) or SRPS (Sim Racing Proxy)?

And what do you want to do with the proxy server? do you have a motion simulator or other game devices?

We recommend to use the universal Sim racing Proxy Server (SRPS). Read carefully the SRPS dedicated page to configure correctly the Sim Racing Proxy Server and your plugin, read the plugin info page to configure the game correctly and then come back here and ask a more specific question in this topic.

I used SRPS.

When I start SLI Max Mgr without SRPS, everything is normal and the Simrace F1 works normally in Grid 2019.  You can check the video below

When I start both SLI Max Mgr & SRPS, Simrace F1 didn’t work, see the video below and what I described in my original post.

Hope this is clear enough for what happened in my case.  Right now I am testing Simrace F1 together with SRS Wind device and that’s why I want to use your SRPS to forward UDP.

Hello,
thanks for the clarification and next time if you do not want to do a video just make a screenshot of the configuration.

your issue is simple you forgot to change the UDP port of the GRID 2019 plugin to match your SRPS configuration.

the system is simple:

THE GAME SEND TELEMETRY
                                    >>>>>
                                          to SRPS and the stream  is forwarded to all UDP ports in the list
                                                                                                   >>>>
                                                                                                      SIM Race F1 and your Wind Machine (up to 50 devices)

 be sure to CHECK FOR UPDATE to get the latest software.

SRPS Config:
Main proxy UDP port = 20777 > this is the port assigned by default to Codemasters game

20781 is the arbitrary UDP port number of the first device, here SIM Race F1 display through SLIMax Mgr GRID 2019 Plugin
and let say
40800 will be the UDP port assigned to your Wind machine (you need to edit the configuration of this device to assign the UDP port 40800

We do not recommend to use 207xx but more a port number below 40000, for example 40700 for the SIM Race F1 and 40800 for your wind machine

check the screenshots attached.
