FairShift

FairShift has been written in C# and is using the SlimDX Framework. It supports H wheels in the racing simulation Grand Prix Legends. On top of that the main feature is, that it delivers the original shifting times (0.222 milliseconds). So there will be no more advantage for drivers using GPLSHIFT and no clutch. This software will not alter the exe file. All operations are being done live. Therefore you have to start FairShift first and activate it. Then fire up Grand Prix Legends. Go to "Downloads" and try it.

Version 2.0 now also supports a clutch pedal. With FairShift you are able to monitor shifting times in GPLRA with or without the usage of a clutch. Therefore the approach to simulate a clutch is a bit different to standard GPL and or GPLSHIFT. The gear lever will jump into neutral while it is activated.

All in all FairShift will guarantee you standard GPL shifting times for all possible setups regarding H shifting. They can be easily monitored with GPLRA. The online racing league GPLRACER already announced to make this tool mandatory for 2014 for all drivers using H shifting. This will allow an equal level of competition among all drivers no matter what kind of wheel they use.

Hi friends,
i was online with the new GTs on the GPLRACER server. I took the new Alfa.
With FairShift i could only take the first three gears.
Offline all gears are working, so my local installation ist ok, i updated the FairShift XML with the Mod-EXE.

Where is the error?

Hi,

i have read all the new info about the problems with getting into the highest gears. ATM I dont have a solution but will try do some more checks. Its a bit odd that offline its working but online not.

Thats strange. The download option was in the menu before. I took a look at Bitbucket and somehow this option is gone. There were also some stats like how many downloads were generated and stuff like that.

Hello to all who use Fairshift.

I need your help to fix this. I am in contact with John (the author of Fairshift) via email and he needs to know:

- Does everyone have the problem that the last gear is not working? Or are only some people affected?
- Does it only happen online or also offline?
- Is it only the new SC mod or are also other mods affected?

Hi all,

looks like Bitbucket has restored the download button

Regarding FairShift: It can also help if you can provide your gplXX.exe for this mod, so I can use it for testing.

Thx and cu

Hi John,
Just noticed this topic
What I posted on srmz:

Oh, it seems like I have same problem. 6th gear on Lotus 43 from 66 mod works in testing mode, race mode, online when I host the race. But if I join server for online race then 6th gear doesn't work.

This happens with any 6 speeds cars from 66 mod. SC mod simply not recognized by Fairshift.

Hello John,

I forward this request of Marcos Mirande here to you.
As I do not use FairShift I can not help with this in any way.

Hello Stefan!

I race with heel & toe, right foot braking and mandatory clutch, so fairshift actually becomes unfair to me when I try to race online with it.

But only with fairshift I can use the H under Linux. Thus, I would need a kind of fairshift without the 0.222s constraint.

I read you're in contact with the programmer of fairshift. Do you think he could do a version without the mandatory 0.222s delay? If so, could you ask him for that?

My main problem isn't speed but the huge amount of missing gears when I race using fairshift...

Thanks! Marcos

Hi,
I want to update state of needed fixes for FairShift:

1) Support for new mods: 67-extra (gpl067.exe, gpl167.exe, gpl267.exe, gpl367.exe, gpl467.exe, gpl567.exe, gpl667.exe, gpl767.exe), 68 mod (gple68.exe, gpll68.exe), 55 (gplc55.exe), Legends Mod (gplc18.exe), SC mod (gplxSC.exe)

2) Problem with 6-th gear in multiplayer. 6-th gear works in training, single race and when user host race. But when he joins server then 6th gear not functional. It's happening with all mods, I think.
