That message usually means one of these is true:

  • The command is outside DRE’s supported simulator quick pit subset.
  • The simulator ‘s pit menu is not configured for keyboard/D-pad control.
  • You are not in a supported live simulator session.
  • The simulator is paused, disconnected, replaying, finished, or otherwise not in a safe state for menu automation.

The below can assist you getting DRE set up with Assetto Corsa (AC)

AC Troubleshooting checklist

Before reporting a problem, check:

  1. Can you manually open and control AC’s quick pit menu with the keyboard arrows or D-pad?
  2. Is USE_MOUSE_PITSTOP=0 set in system/cfg/pitstop.ini?
  3. Are you in a live Practice, Qualifying, or Race session?
  4. Is AC unpaused and connected?
  5. Does a simple fuel command work before trying tyre or pressure commands?
  6. If a tyre compound command fails, try the exact compound wording shown by AC for the current car.

 

Important limitation

DRE’s AC pit commands work by deterministic quick pit menu navigation. DRE does not claim authoritative AC pit-service telemetry or pit countdown state, and it cannot guarantee support for third-party pit-menu mods.
