[REL] TinyPedal - open source overlay APP for rF2 (Radar,Pedal,FFB,Deltabest,Relative,Fuel calculator)

TinyPedal is working very well here for the online races. The radar is specially useful to avoid accidents.

I have a 144Hz monitor with settings changed in rFactor 2 to work at max 90Hz. No stutters

It works wonderfully well.

 

tinypedal does not support VR natively. However there are users using one of the crewchief VR feature to project tinypedal overlay in VR with success, though I don't know the details.

Due to limitation, currently it is only possible to capture tinypedal using "Display Capture".

 

Hello, now i'm using VR and wanted to try TinyPedal in VR, because what else ?

You will need CrewChief to achieve TinyPedal on VR ... It works perfectly an,d flawlessly.
Here is a video i made :

(Sorry for bad compression and no sound).

Are there a way to get "full" coloured background of widgets ? Can't find the option ?

In VR Overlays CrewChief reproduces the PC view and we see it behind partial widgets like Standings (Up left ).
Transparency is not effective. The radar is the worst, i can't use it centered because of that "off" background.
But radar is less effective in VR ...

I would prefer to have a full grey or coloured background without transparency at all. Same for relatives.

Is it possible ?

Thanks.

 

Tinypedal v2 uses QT library's transparency rendering method. If transparency isn't supported by VR projector or some system(such as linux), unfortunately there is nothing can be done on the tinypedal side.

As for customize solid background, I may be able to add a workaround, will need test.

 

Thanks, there is a tutorial i will check :


Sorry if already posted here ...

I can still use a fixed background, widgets on other screen with fixed background.

 

I have just updated source code with new options & workaround for customization background:
https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal

If you wish to test now, you can try run the source code or package it yourself. At the moment there are some other unrelated changes may be coming so new release package hasn't been made yet.

The new options info can be found in WIP changelog here:
https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/blob/master/docs/changelog.txt

Note, for radar (and trackmap) widget, you have to change background color that is set in Radar Widget config dialog, and probably also need to disable the new option "show_fade_out". For other widget, you just need to change "global background color" option in Compatibility dialog.

 

hi no zip for 2.2?

* New Linux installer, Wayland workaround, and bug fixes by Bernat. Thanks to @Bernat & alexbrrsclnt for helping with test.
* New Speedometer Widget that shows minimum, maximum, fastest speed ( feature suggested by @ebeninca in https://forum.studio-397.com/index....ve-fuel-calculator.71557/page-15#post-1119545 ).

Edit: windows executable file is now available at release page.
Due to poor network connection for the past few days, I haven't been able to upload new build file for windows, the release page currently only has source code. I don't know when network will be better, but for the time being, new version can be run or build from source code by following instructions described at project home page.

Thanks for that upgrade.

I have compiled the v2.2.0 for Windows, you can find it HERE
( I used Python 3.10.11 )

 

top thx

 

You need to use github actions in your repo to configure a build workflow, so it can auto-build and generate the zip file for you when you push a new tag, delicious like a cup of coffee.

 

Thank you all for the suggestions and help.

I have just uploaded last windows build file to the release page (took an hour). Though network here is still very slow, even forum takes mins to load.

 

Sorry for dumb questions, after reading things I can't figure out a few things after getting this setup and working.

How to I move the actual hud elements around on my screen?
My track map just a circle, what have i not set correct there?

 

1 - Simply use your mouse to position the elements where you want.
2 - It's a round map while you don't complete a valid lap time.

Hi
is there's a possibility to be added a option in the relative/standings to see how many laps have been done in the actual tyre compound for each driver?

 

Hi,

Thanks for suggestion, but sorry, the mentioned feature would not be added for a few reasons.

First, the game does not give the suggested info available through API right away. To know how many laps a tyre has done, it requires manual tracking, that will be a lot data to process (multiplies amount players & status changes & each 4 tyres and resulting large data set, there is also potential de-sync issue that can result false data), and potentially slow down other data display in overlay.

And the most important reason is that tyre compound data de-sync a lot in multiplayer session. It is often to see that opponents tyre compound data not updated by the time opponents finish their pit stop & tyre change, but only until a few laps later after pits. Sometimes de-sync can last as long as over 30mins and it also affects official broadcast overlay. Thus tyre compound data from opponents are not always accurate and reliable to begin with.

In endurance races, it is also more complex due to driver swap, TinyPedal only reads & stores data when you are driving. So when you are not driving, opponent data is simply not tracked.

TinyPedal is meant for real-time data display for local driver, and not intended to become a full analytic telemetry APP that tracks & analyzes everyone's data & history in deep levels. There are already some specialized telemetry APP (such as Second Monitor or rFactor2 Log Analyzer) that cover the more analytic & strategic areas.

 

Understood
and thanks for the app

 

Hi again, I’m looking in user guide but didn’t see it if is possible to reset laptime of deltabar reference, and use the best session lap? Or is always comparing to your best laptime ever recorded?
