# Assetto Corsa Rally

## Connection Method

**Shared Memory** — DR Sim Manager reads telemetry directly from Assetto Corsa Rally's shared memory interface at up to **200 Hz**. No setup or configuration is needed.

## Setup Steps

1. Launch **Assetto Corsa Rally**.
2. In DR Sim Manager, select **Assetto Corsa Rally** from the Source list.
3. Click **Start Motion**.
4. Enter a rally stage — telemetry starts automatically.

No plugins, configuration files, or network settings are required.

## Available Telemetry

Assetto Corsa Rally uses the same shared memory format as the original Assetto Corsa:

- **Orientation**: Pitch, Roll, Heading (Yaw)
- **Acceleration**: 3-axis G-forces (lateral, longitudinal, vertical)
- **Velocity**: Full 3-axis local velocity
- **Angular Velocity**: 3-axis rotation rates
- **Speed**: Vehicle speed
- **RPM**: Engine RPM
- **Gear**: Current gear
- **Suspension**: 4-wheel suspension travel
- **Vehicle Name**: Read from static session data

### Telemetry Quality: ★★★★★

Uses the same proven shared memory interface as the original AC, providing excellent quality data.

## Recommended Starting Settings

Rally driving produces more dramatic inputs (jumps, rough surfaces, slides) than circuit racing:

- **Primary Cue Gain**: 60–80% (rally surfaces generate stronger inputs)
- **Smoothing**: Low to medium
- **Washout**: Medium to high — rally stages have sustained pitch/roll changes on rough terrain

## Troubleshooting

### No telemetry data

- Ensure AC Rally is running and you are on a rally stage.
- Restart both AC Rally and DR Sim Manager.
