These instructions for specifically for the "RS Dash ASR" app. There are instructions for the regular "RS Dash" app further below"
-
(Required) Install RS Dash ASR on any iOS, Android or Windows devices you want to display telemetry on.
-
(Optional) Install RS Dash ASR on any additional iOS, Android or Windows devices you want to display telemetry on.
In the RS Dash ASR app
(On each device you are running RS Dash ASR on)
-
Select [Launch] button from the navigation bar along the bottom of the screen.
-
Select [AutoMobilista 2] as the Sim Racing Game
-
Select a Dashboard Layout you want to display
-
Select a Recording Option, or disable recording. Note: Recording should only ever be enabled on a single device at a time.
-
Click the [LAUNCH] button
In the AutoMobilista 2 game
-
Select [Options]
-
Select [System]
-
Set "Shared Memory" to "No"
Note: This option will only be visible to PC users. -
Set "UDP Frequency" to "1"
Hint: If you experience telemetry lag, please try "4" instead. -
Set "UDP Protocol Version" to "Project CARS 1"
-
Click "Back"
The RS Dahs ASR app should now be showing the dashboards once you have left the settings screen.
IMPORTANT: AutoMobilista 2 only supports outputting its UDP telemetry as a global network broadcast on UDP port 5606. This means it will work with multiple devices by default, however please be aware that some Android devices and some wireless routers will have trouble processing the telemetry when it is sent this way. This can result in telemetry lag or possibly even no telemetry at all (in rare cases). If you are experiencing lag issues, please check your router settings and try disabling settings such as "UDP Flood Protection", "DOS (Denial of Service) Protection", "Multicast Flood Protection" or similarly named. Lag issues can also sometimes be resolved by slowing down the UDP rate, try using UDP 4 in the game if you are experiencing telemetry lag to see if that helps.

Troubleshooting
-
IMPORTANT: AutoMobilista 2 currently only supports outputting its UDP telemetry as a network broadcast. This means it will work with multiple devices by default, however please be aware that some Android devices and some WiFi routers will have trouble processing the telemetry when it is sent this way. This will result in telemetry lag or possibly even no telemetry feed at all (in rare cases). If you are experiencing lag issues, please check your router settings and try disabling settings such as "UDP Flood Protection", "DOS (Denial of Service) Protection", "Multicast Flood Protection" or similarly named. Lag issues can sometimes be resolved by slowing down the UDP rate, try using UDP 4 if you are experiencing telemetry lag to see if that helps.
-
RS Dash has a "Legacy NetCode" option which can help reduce lag on some devices. If you enable this Legacy NetCode option you should also set the UDP Frequency to 4 for the best results.
-
RS Dash (classic) users - RS Transmitter must be version 2.3j or newer
-
RS Transmitter users - You must be running AutoMobilista 2 on the same Windows PC that you are running the RS Transmitter application on.
