Open JDCodes opened this issue 1 month ago • 4 comments

Describe the bug

when entering the ets2 menu for simhub the game is not "running". If you enable in devices Idle behaviour (Power Off) it switches off every time you go in a menu.

Third-party plugins

  • [x] I have disabled all third-party plugins.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start Game
  2. Go in the Menu
  3. Property "DataCorePlugin.GameRunning" is 0

Expected behavior

Idle behaviour for ets2 only when game is off

Hi ! This is intentional when in menu there is no proper data, DataCorePlugin.GameRunning and all around behaviours reflects the fact that you are "driving" in game. When the data exists menu can be considered as a pause, but it's not possible on ets2/ats2 from memory

is there another way to power off my screen only when the game is really off?

I would have to look into information that remains available but if the screen is capable of being activated through a profile and/or specific properties, you might want to look at the GameTitle property and treat that as a variable. The reason I mention this is because in my DIY setup (non-screen simulation part) the master caution lights blink upon entering the menu (it takes about 1-2 seconds for it to start doing that).

Its a setting in the device settings. I cant change the variable, this is set in the simhub code
