converter is not getting any imput information

Postby ferslash » Thu 24. Jan 2013, 09:21

guys, i was reading the manual, and running the first tests, and i can get any impot information from converter, i am doing this:

1. in the extractor, i select a pluging for lfs, from the cloud,
then i hit play game

2. the game begins in practice mode

3. i get in the converter screen and then hit, start...

4. then in converter, i hit the imput set up, to see if the values are changing, but they dont change at all...what am i could be doing rong?

by the way, if i am using only one computer to do all the job, in the converter screen i dont neet to have the ip working right?

Have you tried writing your own profile?

are you starting the extractor correctly?

more questions,

should i get input information from converter, even if my hardware is not well connected right?

if i load a profile from the cloud, and the hit "play the game", and then "start the converter" i should be receiving input information instantlly right? or the information is received after doing more stuff?

desesperate waiting for help... the thing is that i dont know where to beggin

Yes, if you choose right plugin for the game, you should see these fields changing values in Converter. You don't need to have your hardware attached to see if plugin work in the game.


But when you choose plugin, you also need to copy all effects in Telemetry Plugin from upper box into lower box. Simply click on the button "Standard setup for left dialog" and it will copy all effects.

Than start the game from Extractor, if you chose automatic plugin trigger option in Converter, your "START" button should turn in red color when you get in the game and plugin starts to work. Then you can see values changing in Converter in Input Setup tab.

If you didn't chose automatic plugin start, you should press Start button in Converter by yourself once you get into the game. If you are using one monitor for all, you should run your game in smaller window size to see both game and converter for value changes.
