Man I wish there was something like this for the iphone!! It would work great with my setup

James Bannister · Nov 5, 2012

Have to admit that does look very impressive. Alas I no longer have an Android and went back to iPhone about 3 months ago (D'oh!).

Have to agree with Carl, sounds like a really helpful tool when creating set ups. With all the comparisons of laps you can see over consistent laps what changes have really improved your set up, or if you just had one good lap...

I thought about adding a tablet to my setup for quite a while now and there are cheap ones available, starting at around 80€ / 100$. So it's not that much of an issue (money-wise) to get a device compatible with the app.

I thing I must admit, compared to other "options" for telemetry and dashboards that are available, once you have an Android device with at least Android version 2.1+, the benefits of this awesome program/tool, FAR outways the price asked IMO!

I own all of DashMeterPRO's versions for the sim-racing simulations which it is available for, and they all perform absolutely stunning & flawlessly!

Make sure to follow all the instructions on their site. Also did you make sure you edited
F1 2012's "hardware_settings_config.xml" file correctly? Is DashMeterOutguage running and
is its "preferences.ini" file also edited correctly?

Hope you get it working!
