Another one I have just had success with
Race Driver GRID
Requires:
Tri Def 3D (Ignition)
FreePIE
Race Driver GRID 1.2 Patch minimum (Needed for TrackIR Support)
Instructions:
*Install The TriDef Drivers (Demo version available)
*Install FreePIE
*Make sure TriDef has detected you have GRID Installed and has created a profile. If not then manually add the game.
*Launch FreePIE. I used the following very basic script (Will improve it at some point to have a center hot key, at the moment I coded in a fixed value to center the yaw, this will be different for you):
Code: Select all
yaw = ahrsImu.yaw
roll = ahrsImu.roll
pitch = ahrsImu.pitch
trackIR.yaw = yaw - 49
trackIR.roll = roll
trackIR.pitch = pitch
diagnostics.watch(yaw-49)
*As you can see my yaw needed a value of -49 to make it read 0 when I am looking straight ahead. To get this number, set it to zero, start the script and then look directly forward. Whatever the number reads in the debug window is what you need to subtract (Hope that makes sense). Also this script is designed to work with my AHRS Imu so you will need to change this for your tracker (See the FreePIE forums)
*Leave FreePIE running in the background
*Now we need to make some changes to GRID to get it to work properly. Go into the folder where GRID is installed and then go into the system folder. Edit the file called hardware_settings_restrictions.xml. Look down the file until you find the <!-- Aspect Ratio --> section. You will see some entries there already. Duplicate one of the entries and then change its value to "1:1". Save this file.
*Next open the file called hardware_settings_options.xml. Scroll down until you find <category name="aspect" >. Again duplicate one of the sections and change the option name to 1:1 and the resolution aspect to 1:1. Save the file.
*Next we need to create a new custom resolution for our monitor. I have done this with nVidia control panel but this should be possible with different graphics cards. Go into the resolution section in the control panel and create a custom resolution of 1280x640. To get this part to work you will probably need to set your display to output ONLY to your DIY Rift (If you have it duplicated or extended it won't work). Once you have tested the resolution you should be able to set it as the resolution for that screen. You should notice you now have bars at the top and bottom of your screen. Again you MUST have it set to only display on your DIY Rift.
*Now we get to launch GRID using the TriDef Ignition program. You need to set it to display in SBS Left/Right (Use num pad 0 to open the TriDef menu in game).
*Go into the video options and set your resolution as 1280x640 and your aspect ratio as 1:1. You will now need to restart the game.
*Play the game using the In Car view and you should now have a pretty good FOV in full 3D without any errors and full head tracking!! This works very well if you are using a PC steering wheel

Known Problems:
None? It seems to work perfect and all menu items are visible with no grpahical glitches
If I have missed anything then please let me know!
