Hello,

When can I as a user Fanaleds use with DIRT Rally?

There is no profile yet but you can use a trick to have working LEDs in Dirt Rally.

1. Go to your Windows/System32 forlder, find "cmd.exe" file and copy it to desktop. Rename it to "f1_2013.exe"
2. Go to your My Documents\My Games\DiRT Rally\hardwaresettings folder, open "hardware_settings_config.xml" file and edit this line to look like this. Save and close file.

<motion enabled="true" ip="127.0.0.1" port="30500" delay="1" extradata="3" />

3. Open Fanaleds, start "f1_2013.exe" from your desktop and leave the window open. Fanaleds will think that you are playing F1 2013 game and that this OK.

4. Start your Dirt Rally game and you will have working LEDs.

5. If you have blinking dots on your LED display, before starting "f1_2013.exe", open Fanaleds, choose F1 2013 profile, set Fuel perc. to "0", save settings to profile, activate "f1_2013.exe" again, start Dirt Rally.

What is the name of the .exe of DiRT Rally? We can add it so it's natively support for the next version.

Thanks Prodigy for that much appreciate been trying to get it working!

And the exe is drt.exe (no I in the dirt)

Cheers. We hope to add this soon!

Could we duplicate the dirt profile for dirt rally, and watch for drt.exe? telemetry output in dirt rally works nicely, no crashes over the finish line.

Great to hear it's the same. There's isn't anything you can do in terms of making Fanaleds recognize other .exe files. We will have to add it. It's on our list, so I'll try to make sure it's added ASAP!

I would freak if I got dirt rally support in fanaleds!

+1 for requesting support! I need my shift lights on my porsche rim bad!

If you want to run it right now until you wait for new Fanaleds release, you can do a simple trick which works and requires basically 3 minutes to set it up. Look here how to do it:

Here is the video of leds working, not great quality but you can see on the wheel..
I've eventually set up Fanaleds to show only gears on LCD, instead switching between speed / gear.

I've been enjoying this game
