Conversion between LHD & RHD

Recommended Posts

I have recently rebuilt my rig and set it up for RHD for a change. I use an Oculus Rift so for immersion it is nice to be sat in the right seat. There are only a few RHD cars in DiRT Rally so I wanted to see if I could convert the LHD ones. It certainly works with some cars and here is how.

To test it I created a RHD Kadett using the Escort Mk2 interior.

I use the Enhanced camera mod from here http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/dirt-rally-enhanced-camera-control-mod.104940/page-8

Locate your cars folder under \Steam\steamapps\common\DiRT Rally folder
Open the models\cme folder and copy the Escort cameras.xml file
Open the models\kad folder and paste the file above (you may want to backup your original file first)
Now open the cars\interiors\models\cme folder and copy all files
Open the cars\interiors\models\kad folder and paste all the files (again backup the originals)
Rename all the files and replace cme with kad in each file name.

Now you will have a RHD Kadett with a fully working Escort interior

Notes:
In replays the interior cams all work fine with driver & co-driver, however, external cams show the driver on the right with arms out but the steering wheel on the left! Otherwise all fine.
I did try this replacing the Lancia Delta GrpA interior with a Ford RS200 but the drivers door didn't seem attached from inside, so I need to match up the donor car more closely!
To see which folder matches up to which car look here: http://http//www.racedepartment.com/threads/dirt-rally-cars-tracks-folder-names-list.104727/
You should be able to create a LHD Escort copying the KAD camera and interior files to CME.
