Simtools and Simhub together problem with Gt7 Proxy

[oyakplay]

Hello! I would like to ask you for help.

I have a 3dof and DYI platform with wind and vibration but I can only make it work either the movement (with the GT7 Proxy plugin) or the wind and vibration, and never all 3 simultaneously because when Simtools is open and Simhub, the GT7 Proxy app It doesn't open or work.

In contacting Simtools, they gave me the following: "I currently do not believe it is possible to use Simhub and SimTools together with GT7, as the GT7 game plugin does not have UDP Relay configured. You can do this with games that use configured UDP Packets and UDP Relay, but this game plugin currently does not work. Fans will not work with GT7 in SimTools."

I would like to know if someone could configure UDP and UDP Relay on the GT7 Proxy, or forward the source code. I would be very grateful for a response. Best regards.

Simhub allows Port forwarding but that requires changing the receive port in GT7 Proxy to one other than the default 33740. Has anyone managed this? I’m wanting to use SimHub and D-Box motion system ( uses GT7Ptoxy) at same time.

There are some parameters you can play with on the command Line --receiveport and --sendport
Out of curiosity : why use gt7proxy if you use simhub ?

[JCHammer1]

SimHub doesn’t support D-Box motion controller as it is a closed ecosystem. I want to use SimHub for haptics in addition to the Motion. D-Box doesn’t natively support console so they use GT7Proxy to capture the telemetry. Unfortunately D-Box doesn’t have a way to change the receive port. I have the SimHub side figured out for port forwarding.

Nicolas from Simhub sent me to this repository after explaining the software UDP limitations

[drowhunter]

so you just need to change the incoming port in this proxy script?

I believe so, at least that’s how I understand it to work. I just don’t have programming experience to create a new Proxy from the repository files.

[JCHammer1]

I don’t know how to change the port in the proxy script and recompile a new .exe

[drowhunter]

you dont have to, just run it with the commandline to change the port.

[JCHammer1]

So I need to run the command line each time I run the Sim? Also, in what sequence should I run the command line? Start SimHub to forward the port, then launch the motion software, which then loads the GT seven proxy. When I launch the D box motion software, it starts the proxy. If I then run the command line, it opens up another set of proxies running at the same time visible in task manager.

[drowhunter]

yup.

i would create a shortcut to the exe and then in the properties of the shortcut add the command line

That’s genius!

Another question I have is do I use the PlayStation IP address or the local computer IP 127.0.0.1? Since the proxy is supposed to be getting the telemetry from the SIM hub forwarded port and not the PlayStation directly.

[drowhunter]

yes 127.0.0.1

[JCHammer1]

yes 127.0.0.1

Thanks for the help. I’ll give all this a try over the weekend once home

[JCHammer1]

I gave the suggestion a try. I was able to capture telemetry from SimHub forwarded port 33750 with GT7Proxy.exe 1.7.2 using the shortcut command line parameter. Unfortunately it didn’t pass that telemetry onward to the D-Box haptic software. The original D-Box installed GT7Proxy appears to be an older 36mb version that doesn’t have command line parameter capabilities. I tried to run the command line parameter on it and received unrecognized argument error.

The GT7 Live Haptics app normally launches the GT7 Proxy in the background
