I’ve recently added support for the latest data format to my Race Dash iOS telemetry app, and although the data out has improved considerably, there’s still a fair bit missing. In particular stuff like tyre wear, brake temps, race laps and reverse gear!

Here’s hoping it gets another revision. 🤞

Agreed. In fact I would like to see delta t anywhere. But since even the game itself doesn't show this fundamental information it's not going to happen. Sadly.

Any thoughts on best 'grip metric'..? I'm thinking the standard deviations of the tire_slip_angle data might be adequate for a metric addressing cornering grip. I just looked at a few sets and I was getting standard deviations of 0.4 - 0.6. Another thought is that we might only care about loss of grip ie slip angle > 1, and in that case the metric might be the percent of datapoints over 1, with lower percents being good and high bad. Thoughts?

My RS-Dash app with FM7 support is now live on Android and Windows, and will be live on iOS within the next day or so. Check it out if you are interested https://www.pocketplayground.net/rs-dash

If you create a login then it can also upload details about your sessions to our online portal. The online portal stuff is a bit more limited for FM7 due to the existing limitations in the protocol, but will contain more as the protocol gets new fields added.

Hi Guys,

Just to let you know that RS Dash with Forza 7 support is live on the Google Store and PC now, followed by iOS shortly. The link is below. If you have used RS Dash before you know that it is an awesome app and it works great with Forza 7.

Lap times would be great (current and best) - but thanks a bunch for adding this as I use my phone for gear selection and it works great.

I see that distance traveled is one of the data fields, is there a way to get the odometer data for the car at the start of the session so I can build a functioning odometer and not just a trip odometer?

Is this feature not in Forza Horizon 4? I can't seem to find it if it is. If it is not why is it not there?

Not available in FH4 at this time.

What is the reason localhost streaming is not supported?

I have a Rev Burner and a GI Max connected to my PC that I use with SimDash that work perfectly with other games, does this mean that I cannot use them because I play Forza 7 on the same (and my only) PC? Do I literally need to have a separate PC to get my peripherals to work or am I missing something here?

I think the localhost restriction is a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) restriction. You can probably do some udp forwarding in your router to send the data back to your PC.

Another alternative: If you have a spare Android device, you could use my App SIM Dashboard. It allows you to forward the UDP Telemetry data to another receiver. So in the game you would configure the Android device running SIM Dashboard as the UDP Telemetry receiver. The SIM Dashboard App receives the data and can forward it back to your PC on the desired port. This feature is free of charge, so no need to pay.
And by the way you would get the ability to show some widgets on your Android phone.

Deleted advice that was a roundabout way of enabling loopback for Forza. See post below for better information.

I have a much simpler option to remove the UWP restriction

Make sure that Forza Motorsport 7 is not running
Make sure that you are logged in as an administrator on the computer
Open a command prompt (click the Start button, then type command in the search and choose "Command Prompt")
Paste the following text into the command prompt and press ok.
CheckNetIsolation.exe LoopbackExempt -a -n=microsoft.apollobasegame_8wekyb3d8bbwe

You should see the word Ok. appear, this indicates the exemption was added successfully. You can now close the command prompt by typeing exit and press enter, or by clicking the X in the right corner of the command prompt window.

@stryder2k8. first of all,thank you for the dimdash app. i've been using it for some time with several games. works perfect!
however,with forza7 i cant seem to use simdash and simvibe together because of the "sled/dash" option in game. if i select "dash" i get nothing trough simvibe, if i select "sled" i get the message (in simdash) that this game needs config.
(+ is it correct that i can only forward via my android? because on pc i can not find forza in the forward list).
perhaps i am overlooking something?
i apoligize if this has been explained already, but im drowning in the sea of information.
thanks in advance.

The problem seems to be that Simvibe does not support the extended data format (Dash) of Forza 7. Supporting that should be no big issue for Simvibe, because it's the exact same data, just some more dashboard related info at the end of the telemetry packet. So if they increase their buffer and probably update their packet size check it should work. You may want to write them an email and see if they can update their code.

If you select Sled in Forza 7, you are missing all data which was added to Forza 7 with the September update, so you can only use very basic data. That's why the app is telling you that you need to configure the game and switch to the Dash mode in this case.

In the PC application is no forwarding option for Forza 7, because of the localhost restriction. To forward telemetry, the PC Application would need to be able to get the telemetry itself. Which is not possible (out of the box) due to the Universal Windows Platform restriction, which does not let the game send data to the localhost. That's what have been discussed in the posts above. There are workarounds available, but it's the reason why it's not included in the forwarding options.

If Simvibe do not update their code I add an option to select the telemetry type to forward. So you could select Dash in the game HUD Options and send the data to the SIM Dashboard App. In SIM Dashboard you could select Sled to be forwarded to Simvibe. It will just remove the extended data from "Dash" when forwarding it. I'll add this option with the next update of the app.

Thank you very much, your solution has worked perfectly.

Thanks once again.

I play forza 7 on xbox one s. I want to send time series running data to windows PC using data out function. Please tell me if someone knows how to do it.

I suggest these are better described as "BestLapTime", "LastLapTime", and "CurrentLapTime".

By the way, I've made some updates to the Python class and logging script over the past couple of weeks. Now it supports the new "dash cam" format as well as a configuration file that allows you to specify what data to store.

I created an udp to tcp converter that allow your to receive the data and work with JS.

The Update of the SIM Dashboard App containing this feature is now published. You can now select to forward the Sled V1 Telemetry from the App to a second receiver, even if you get Dashboard V2 Telemetry from the game.

beautifull! will try out 2morrow
thanks!

I'm currently working on trying to automate driver stats coming out of the game for league operations, and I was wondering if it would be possible to get some unique way to identify the origin of each packet. I.E a driver name or gamer tag or race number etc, just some way that I can associate the stats to that driver.

F1 2018 currently have it in their struct, and was wondering if it was in the works or if it's something that can be done already?

Have every player configure their game to send UDP packets to a different port?
