I don´t know if it was adressed before or is just me but everytime i update crewchief i loose the shortcut in Windows 10 task bar
Thanks Iron. I already do something like this between updates but is good to know im not alone. Its been a lot of time i experience this but Always forget to ask. Cheers
Sorry, I think i didnt understand. If i create the shortcut as you said i wont loose the shortcut anymore when updating?
Yes. The shortuct you are losing is a special shortcut managed by installer and we don't control what happens on update. But if you create your own shortcut and drop it into start menu, it will stay.
New version of the Crew Chief includes new rFactor 2 specific features. Basically, CC now has access to Message Center and track Pitlane Speed Limit data. However, those features are off by default, because: * Data is extracted by using unofficial means, not via rF2 Internals API. Since that is not supported, use this functionality at your own risk. It could potentially crash rF2, corrupting .json files, especially after game updates. I suggest having your .json files backed up. You've been warned * Only English Message Center strings are recognized, if you are using another UI language, some functionality may not work. To enable: * Start Crew Chief in rF2 mode and allow it to update rF2 plugin. * Start rF2 and exit the game (this will update CustomPluginVariables.json). * set EnableDirectMemoryAccess: 1 in CustomPluginVariables.json * if you want message center features, MC needs to enabled. I only tested "Message Center Detail":3 in player.json. Here's how SM plugin configuration should look like (space before " Enabled" is required): "rFactor2SharedMemoryMapPlugin64.dll":{ " Enabled":1, "DebugISIInternals":0, "DebugOutputLevel":0, "DedicatedServerMapGlobally":0, "EnableDirectMemoryAccess":1, "EnableStockCarRulesPlugin":0 } Recognized MC messages: "Crew Is Ready For Pitstop" "Headlights Are Now Required" "Stop/Go Penalty: Cut Track" "Stop/Go Penalty: Speeding In Pitlane" "Drive-Thru Penalty: Speeding In Pitlane" "Stop/Go Penalty: False Start" "Stop/Go Penalty: Exiting Pits Under Red" "Stop/Go Penalty: Illegally Passed Before Green" "Disqualified: Driving In Dark Without Headlights" "Disqualified: N Laps" "Enter Pits To Avoid Exceeding Lap Allowance" "Wrong Way" "Warning: Driving Too Slow" Pitlane Speed Limit CC will announce speed limit on pitlane approach (CC tries to guess that you approach pitlane, it won't always work on all tracks). Also, there's new voice command to ask about pitlane speed: what's the pitlane speed limit what's the pit speed limit pit speed limit CC will consider tracks with Speed limit above 200kph as having no speed limit. Next steps: I'll be adding more messages as I catch them. I'll try making Stock Car Rules plugin work in both offline and online sessions. Will see if it is possible to calculate optimal tire/brake temperatures based on static curves for currently selected car/tires/upgrade. Big thanks: Jim (@mr_belowski) for recording a lot of new sounds Morten (@Sparten) our CCMC colleague for his technical expertise and code contributions that made this feature possible @Nibo for a lot of work he put in testing this stuff and collecting traces
should i add those lines to json file ? Recognized MC messages: "Crew Is Ready For Pitstop" "Headlights Are Now Required" "Stop/Go Penalty: Cut Track" "Stop/Go Penalty: Speeding In Pitlane" "Drive-Thru Penalty: Speeding In Pitlane" "Stop/Go Penalty: False Start" "Stop/Go Penalty: Exiting Pits Under Red" "Stop/Go Penalty: Illegally Passed Before Green" "Disqualified: Driving In Dark Without Headlights" "Disqualified: N Laps" "Enter Pits To Avoid Exceeding Lap Allowance" "Wrong Way" "Warning: Driving Too Slow"
My fav was "Wrong way" I imagine guests who test rig will be surprised Chief knows where they're going
Well, I have had a run with the new info and it seems to be OK here in single player offline. Thanks again to CC team for the great plugin
Thanks for reporting this, I had to do some last minute changes to plugin, good to know stuff did not explode
hm, i have some problems with CC. CC is liying to me like you're first when i am 8th, front left puncture without a puncture, tires are hot when they are just warm, brakes to hot when they are on 300°, and more. A lot of little errors. what should i do ?
Most of things you mention are related to vehicle class mappings. http://thecrewchief.org/showthread.php?27-Customizing-Car-Classes Also see: http://thecrewchief.org/showthread.php?28-F-a-q False front left puncture - no idea, that's what we announce when game sends us data that tire is flat.
