Problems to let motec working from GTR2 to rFactor

[franklin7201]

Hello all,

I have a question.
When i convert a car from GTR2 to rFactor/GSCEx i have problems to let work the in car motec or lcd display.

I know that i must make a cockpitinfo.ini where this is standing.

When i look at the .car file i see this as example:

DigitalDisplays=1
Display1Instance=MOTEC
Display1RPMBars=40
Display1RPMBarsRange=(1000,9000)
Display1RPMLights=3 (max=8)
Display1RPMLightsRange=(8300,9500)
Display1SessionPractice=(376,36)
Display1SessionWarmup=(376,23)
Display1SessionRace=(376,10)
Display1GearHeadingParams=LARGE,CENTER
Display1GearHeadingPos=(352,60)
Display1FuelHeadingParams=LARGE,CENTER
Display1FuelHeadingPos=(220,60)
Display1FuelParams=LARGE,CENTER
Display1FuelPos=(185,100)
Display1SpeedHeadingParams=LARGE,RIGHT
Display1SpeedHeadingPos=(500,76)
Display1SpeedParams=MEDIUM,RIGHT
Display1SpeedPos=(465,120)
Display1GearParams=LARGE,CENTER
Display1GearPos=(342,100)
Display1LapTimeHeadingParams=LARGE,RIGHT
Display1LapTimeHeadingPos=(240,145)
Display1LapTImeParams=MEDIUM,RIGHT
Display1LapTimePos=(281,187)

FuelRigType=2
FuelCapPositionL=(0.593, 0.556, 1.09)
FuelCapAngleL= 32.0
FuelCapPositionR=(-0.593, 0.556, 1.09)
FuelCapAngleR= -32.0


The cockpitinfo.ini look like this:

RPMLED=M3_rpmbar


GearsFont=M3_gear.bmp
GearsBackground=M3_gearsbk // default is "READOUT.BMP"
GearsScale=(1.5, 2.50) // how big to draw the font onto the background

PlaceFont=M3_font.bmp // defaults to FONTREAD
PlaceBackground=M3_placebkg // defaults to READOUT.BMP
PlaceScale=(0.52, 0.84) // how big to draw the font onto the background

LapsFont=M3_font.bmp // defaults to FONTREAD
LapsBackground=M3_lapsbkg // defaults to READOUT.BMP
LapsScale=(0.48, 0.84) // how big to draw the font onto the background

SpeedFont=M3_font.bmp // defaults to FONTREAD
SpeedBackground=M3_speedbkg // defaults to READOUT.BMP
SpeedScale=(1.1, 1.2)


Now i must edit the .car file to this cockpitinfo.ini.
But what must i do next?

The rfactor car's cockpitinfo file must be edited to look similar to what you have. None of that data in the .car file is used in rfactor AFAIK.

Be sure you have all the background images and font files listed in the cockpitinfo file for your car.

I am not sure what, if anything, must be done to the motec's mesh file to make it work in rfactor.
