(replace the 127.0.0.1 by the IP of your PC running MotionMax Manager)

– set UDP Telemetry to ON
do not activate Broadcast.

– keep the port with 20777,
– set the rate to 60Hz,
– format: 2023

Launch MotionMax Manager on the PC and select the default F1 23 game profile (wheel base or gamepad)

Check if the F1_2023ConsoleBridge plugin is ACTIVATED using the Plugins Manager

Start F1_2023ConsoleBridge64.exe on the PC

Now run the F1 23 game on the console and enjoy your motion simulator with your F1 game.
