Well EK has released the first "Alpha" version of the iRacing proxy server .

http://www.eksimracing.com/forum/index. ... en#msg2878

This proxy server will allow up to 50 applications to connect to iRacing which gets around the natice iRacing API limit of one connection. In order to use the proxy server, all applicaitons must modify their plugins to connect to the proxy instead of directly to the iRacing API. EK says that this is something that can be done very easily.

I have had a discussion with sirnoname about this and he said that he is not going to make any changes to the existing plugin himself but the informaiton provided in the free open plugin interface will allow any developer to create the plugin. Sirnoname said that he will provide guidance where necessary to get this accomplished.

Is there anyone willing to take on this project?

Too bad we can't just get the source code of the existing iRacing plugin and modify it for the new connection parameters.

We have to fly through hoops of fire, circumvent the bearded lady to find the instructions how to, and convince a magician that this is worth their time.

I've been trying, with my limited talents, to promote x-sim, but I feel like a bumper car, everytime I can work up a little bit of momentum in one direction, I get thrown into another. And I'm not even a user of motion, but just like the whole package. Maybe time to find a new ride. lol

Thanks for providing the plugin source code sirnoname. Now all we need is someone to modify it to talk to the proxy service

Hello Sirnoname,

Please provide me with a copy of the source code for the plugin. I have 2 developers that are willing to take a look at making the necessary changes to support the iRacing proxy.

Thanks

Source of the existing plugin is no problem.

Is this because there is a new plugin coming? I think X-Sim should be the proxy, not some other software that could become commercial later, or may already be.

Personally, I see the iRacing proxy as a short term solution as I believe that iRacing should be the ones to fix this issue and they most likely will eventually do so.

It's not broken. They would have had to do this intentionally. I've built quite a few API's. I haven't thoroughly examined theirs but I cant think of a way that this happens without intentional effort.

Whatever their reasoning is, I'm not as confident as you that it's a short term matter, meaning I'm not so comfortable basing X-Sim's ability to get iRacing data off of a commercial API.

Be patient As a community, we can solve this issue far more intelligently than a third party API.

There are alot of opportunities that are being overlooked in this mad rush to solve the problem.

Hi Leandro,

I have someone looking at this already. I will contact sirnoname if I need any additional information. I'll keep you posted.
