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

Thank you once again for an amazing update. One small thing i would change is the relative to be more accurate. It is fluctuating a bit too much and also quite a bit different from the ingame one. Thats my smallest issue i have.

 

It's correct, it is always comparing with your personal best (recorded) lap time.

The deltabest file is located in TinyPedal\deltabest folder, just open the folder and sort file by latest date, then delete the record you wish to reset. Same goes for track map in trackmap folder.

Addition info can be found here:
https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/wiki/User-Guide#user-files

Edit: next update will add "Reset data" menu for resetting user data from UI directly.

 

Reviving an old issue:
GSync / FreeSync gets disabled when TinyPedal app widgets show on top of the game
I've tried disabling fullscreen optimizations for rF2 like suggested, but all tht does is disable GSync even if TinyPedal app is not running. Has anyone really gotten gsync to work with TinyPedal, and how?

 

I don't have a g-sync monitor to help. There is however one thing to check: make sure "lock overlay" is enabled while driving, so that RF2 window won't lose focus if widgets have been clicked or dragged recently.

Most result & discussion from web search also show that g-sync has trouble with borderless or windowed mode, such as lag & stutter issues, or been disabled(as you mentioned) are commonly reported. So borderless or windowed mode is probably the real issue.

 

I have AMD Free-sync but I have no idea if it's working or not. There isn't any big flashing icon saying Free-Sync enabled onscreen.

 

I actually fixed it last night. Dunno if I misread the post or what, but I had to disable fullscreen optimizations for TinyPedal and not rf2. Now it works
however I'm having an issue where I get repeated black screens every few seconds when connected over display port, so I can't use freesync...
@davehenrie you can enable a big flashing icon saying gsync on nvidia control panel, probably on amds too. Or on the settings of the screen itself

 

Disabling fullscreen optimizations is useless anyways because you run the game in borderless windowed mode. And this option is only kicking in when you run the game in exclusive fullscreen (At least this is what I read on forums). I have never managed to run a game in borderless mode and run overlays on it with g-sync enabled as g-sync causing stuttering this way. I have a freesync monitor, maybe that's the reason it can't work. Now I run the game in fullscreen and run the overlays on my second monitor.

 

v2.4.0 update - new Heading Widget & Navigation Widget
https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/releases/tag/v2.4.0

This update adds two new widgets that has been on my todo list for a while.

The new heading widget draws idea from flight instrument "heading indicator", which shows compass, direction of travel (yaw angle), slip angle(average of front tyres), and vehicle heading. Those indicators may come in handy for cruising or drifting.

Another one is the navigation, which is basically a zoomed track map centered on player's vehicle, as commonly seen from rally or open world games. This widget can be useful for long tracks like targa, nord, iom, etc.

A new Reset data option is added to main window "Overlay" menu, user can reset their session data directly from those options (there will be reset confirmation before reset).

And lastly, a new "Grid move" option is implemented by @Bernat , which allows widgets to be snapped onto invisible grids for easy alignment.

New user guide entries:

Once again, thank you for your work!

 

good evening guys, beautiful overlay. Is it possible to add my personal best of the session in the TIMING item?

 

hi, Sectors Widget already has an option to show your personal session best lap time, which is by setting "Target Time Mode" value to 1 in Sectors Widget config dialog (default setting shows personal session theoretical best lap time). Details explained here: https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/wiki/User-Guide#sectors-1

Of course I can add one more row in Timing Widget to show personal session best lap time, that will likely be added in next update.

 

Perfect, thank you. So you can keep a reference of your best lap on that track

 

Does it already work in virtual reality?

 

hi, according to comments from The Iron Wolf & DanRZ and a few others, currently TinyPedal can be projected into VR using crewchief's VR overlay feature:

An example with fuel, standings, relative, etc ... in CrewChief projector.

 

good morning,
I can't logrotate configure the standings/relative widgets to show the gap with decimals when is 10 or more seconds , for example no way it appear 10,1. it show only 10.
Any hint?
I have read the user guide and have been testing the option
'time gap decimal places' or something like this with every possible combination but no changes

 

You need to increase time_gap_width option value in order to show more digits. Same applies to Time Interval.
You can find details in guide here:
https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/wiki/User-Guide#relative-1

Note: time_gap_width value should be at least 3 or more higher than decimals place value (as decimal point & extra number takes space).
how it looks like:

 

thank you a lot.
I tried 'width' setting but never tried more than 4 i think.

 

rfactor 2 doesnt give information to overlays about traction and abs, also oil and water temperature
so many years and they never spend a little time to give us more details from 3rd party overlays.

 

Don't know if it is has been clarified enough, but I was asking same question myself and came across this video:

Summing up videos information it becomes pretty easy using CC for overlay projection / injection, but you need to use SteamVR in order to get it working, but e.g. PimaxXR could be used as runtime env.

If you start SteamVR and CC after the button "SteamVR overlay settings" will become available and after pressing it a new window should where all running applications windows can be selected - check "show in VR" for each one which should be visible in VR / HMD view; sliders need to be used to set up position, size and rotation.

I think I will spend some time to set up OBS in order to make VR / HMD view recordings and then I will do a video on it ...
