Based on the world famous annual rally raid organized by Amaury Sport Organisation (A.S.O.) in South America, DAKAR 18 is a realistic simulation of the biggest cross-country rally in the world and features a variety of vehicles, including motorcycles, cars, trucks, quads and SSVs.
We are releasing the fifth update allowing now the users to manually configure your own devices, such as Steering Wheels, shifters, etc; we also included generic improvements and bug fixes.
Regarding the Steering Wheel devices, our plan is:
- Support as many steering wheels / pedals / shifters / handbrakes as we can by default
- Achieve a simple and robust way of allowing any other devices to be configured by the user
- Allow users to share their configuration presets with others (even with us in case you would like to see it in the official game)
- Allow default and custom device presets to be fully customizable in the game settings (remove the need to edit text files)
You can find all supported devices at: %appdata\Local\Dakar18Game\Saved\SteeringWheelConfigs, after running the game with v.05 patch.
If you do not see a file with your device vendor / product id, please check on [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1528945086] our official guide[/url] for information on how to add it.
Devices supported:
- Improved device management and customization
- Steering wheel configuration files are now exposed (%appdata%\Local\Dakar18Game\Saved\SteeringWheelConfigs) after running the game for the first time after applying the patch
Bugs Fixed:
- Fixed: Vehicle steering input was not linear
- Fixed: Issues with manual gear setting in multiplayer for remote vehicles
- Fixed: In multiplayer, spectating a player using manual gearbox would cause the vehicle to look like being stuck in neutral gear
- Fixed: If a driverless player vehicle would enter a CP (pushed by another player), the owner of the vehicle would be stuck in character without input
- Fixed: Clients in multiplayer could not change truck high / low gear (or even see the state in the UI)
- Fixed: When changes are made to the lobby settings, the session metadata is now updated (no visible effect yet, but part of further improvements to server list that are incoming!)
Improvements:
- Improved: Vehicle replication is now smoother in multiplayer
- Improved: Optimized vehicle network traffic
See you in the Dunes!
