Email contact@gramshift.com in English or Japanese. We reply within 7 business days, usually sooner. Please include your Windows version, your Stream Deck app version, your Le Mans Ultimate version, the text of the "Status" line in the key's settings, and, if possible, a photo or screenshot of the key. Ideas for new keys are welcome too.

Getting started

  1. In Le Mans Ultimate open Settings > Gameplay and set Enable Plugins to On (LMU 1.2 or later), then restart the game: the setting works after a restart. The game then shares its live race data with tools on your PC.
  2. Drag the keys you want from the plugin's category onto your Stream Deck.
  3. Drive. The keys show your car as soon as you are on track.
  4. Optional: enter a Key to send in a key's settings (for example F13 or Ctrl+Shift+P) and give the same key to a control in the game's settings (for example the speed limiter or the pit stop request). Pressing the Stream Deck key then presses that key in the game.

The keys

Messages on the keys

MessageWhat it means
NO GAMEThe game's live data is not there: Le Mans Ultimate is not running, or Enable Plugins is off. Turn it on and restart the game (see Getting started). The keys find the game within about a second.
LOADINGThe game is starting and has not written its data yet.
NO CAR · GARAGEYou are in a menu, spectating, watching a replay or in the garage. The Session key still shows the session.
STALE (dimmed key, amber frame)The game's data has not changed for 3 seconds: the game is paused, loading, or stopped. The last values stay readable but dimmed. PAUSED in the game's paused phase.
UNSUPPORTED (red)The data does not look like what this plugin reads: a game version it was not made for (the key shows the version) or data whose layout changed with a game update. No numbers are shown rather than wrong ones. Please tell us; an update of the plugin fixes it.
READ ERROR (red)Windows refused to let the plugin read the game's data. If you run the game as administrator, run the Stream Deck app the same way, or run both normally.
STINT --The plugin has not yet seen your car leave the pit lane in this session, so the stint start is unknown. It starts counting at your next pit exit. It also goes back to STINT -- when the keys were away from your Stream Deck (another page) for more than about 45 seconds, since a pit visit could have happened in between.

Questions

Why does the fuel key need a lap first?

Fuel and energy per lap are measured from your own laps in this session, not guessed: one green-flag lap without a pit visit is needed. A new session, track or car starts the measurement again, so a number from another session is never shown. Switching to another Stream Deck page and back within about 45 seconds loses nothing; a lap that was not all seen (keys away for longer) is not counted.

I press the key and nothing happens in the game.

Open the key's settings and read the Status line: it says the key that was sent, or why it was not. By default keys are sent only while the game is the active window. Give the same key to a control in the game's settings. If you run Le Mans Ultimate as administrator, Windows blocks keys from Stream Deck: start the game normally. If the Status line says the name of the program in front could not be read (a game running as administrator or guarded by anti-cheat can hide it), turn off "Only while the game is the active window".

Does it press keys by itself?

No. One press of a Stream Deck key sends one key you chose, as if you pressed it on your keyboard. It never presses anything by itself and has no macros.

Does it change the game or need a mod?

No. It only reads the data the game shares when Enable Plugins is on. Nothing is installed into the game folder and nothing is written to the game.

Does it work with other sims, online races or consoles?

It reads Le Mans Ultimate on the same Windows PC as the Stream Deck, offline and online. Not on consoles.

Requirements

Windows 10 or later, Stream Deck app 6.9 or later, Le Mans Ultimate 1.2 or later on PC.
