Sharing Profiles

DR Sim Manager allows users to share motion profiles with each other, enabling a community-driven experience to enhance and customize motion simulation across different games.

Users can share profiles by posting them in the #drsm-profiles channel on the Departed Reality Discord server. This channel is dedicated to profile sharing, allowing you to discover new profiles for different games or upload your own for others to use.

Accessing the Profiles Folder

To access the Profiles folder quickly:

Open DR Sim Manager.
Right-click anywhere in the main interface.
In the context menu, select Browse Profiles.

This will open the Profiles folder located at:

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\DRSimManager\Profiles

Note:

Replace <UserName> with your actual Windows username.

Profile File Format and Structure

Profiles are stored in .json format, ensuring easy customization and editing.
Each game has its own folder within the Profiles directory, organizing profiles by game name. For example:

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\DRSimManager\Profiles\AssettoCorsa\

Inside each game folder, you will find various .json files, each representing a different profile configuration for that game.

Adding New Profiles

Download the desired profile .json file from the Discord channel.
Copy the profile file to the appropriate game folder in the Profiles directory (e.g., C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\DRSimManager\Profiles\AssettoCorsa).
Restart DR Sim Manager to load the newly added profiles. Profiles copied while DR Sim Manager is running will not appear until the application is restarted.

Add all applicable tags (hexapod, belt, thanos, etc) to any profile you share on the Discord channel to help other users with similar setups find profiles.
Different types of simulators and setups will react differently to profiles. For the best experience, use profiles from users with the same controller and simulator type.
