Hey Speeders!

I´m building a race cockpit simulator, and i´m trying to get some informations from LFS, like velocity, rpm, car force system, gear steps, Is it possible to make with Insim??
I´m needing to get the car system force to send it to a COM port or USB and after change this voltage signal to current signal to set my motion.

Someone know how can I get it?

Thanks!

I modified Vladimir Kadlecs OUTGAUGE "GEAR INDICATOR" code to use the COM PORT or USB-SERIAL adapter.

If you are willing to use the *free* BLOODSHED DevCPP version 4.9.9.2 (MINGW32) C compiler, you might be able to make the code work for you.

In my case, I created command strings that indicate values as they change and are then sent serially to a microcontroller (or series of microcontrollers).

It's still a work in progress, but my code works as-is for a number of functions.
