[WIP] Race Engineer (Spotter) plugin for rFactor 2

I think it would be good if the engineer would call out whether there is a car next to you much like iraceing and keep up the good work!!!!

just been looking at this http://www.voiceattack.com/Default.aspx, which I suspect may become quite popular. A side project to have a two way radio with engineer would be amazing - I would think quite doable?

 

There was a indy car type spotter in one rf1 mod if I recall correctly

 

How is This project going?

 

Project is on stand-by for now. I have dedicated my spare time to the Delta Best plugin. Now that one seems kind of finished but I'm on vacation so nothing will happen for a few weeks.

 

Wonderful project cosimo! And thank you for the Delta Best plugin!

Have a great vacation

 

Many thanks for your delta best plugin, too. A voice "keep pushing" if you are on red would be nice ;-)

 

Eh eh, nice

 

Hi, Cosimo.

Would you be interresting in working together to create a spotter for rF2. I wanted to create one, but as you started to work on it, may be it will be better to share work or continu your work if you don't have time anymore.

Thanks

 

Yeah..............that would be a great idea!

 

Yes Gerald, I would definitely be interested. I haven't given up on this

 

Here the first version. Enjoy

For now, only 12 events are implemented
- StartRace : when the start light is green (Race)
- YellowInS1 : when there is a yellow flag in sector1
- YellowInS2 : when there is a yellow flag in sector2
- YellowInS3 : when there is a yellow flag in sector3
- BestLap : when you beat the session best laptime (Practice / Qualifying)
- CategoryBestLap : when you beat "only" the category best laptime (Practice / Qualifying)
- SelfBestLap : when you beat "only" the your best laptime (Practice / Qualifying)
- SelfGapSector1 : gap compare to S1 of your bestlap (Practice / Qualifying)
- SelfGapSector2 : gap compare to S2 of your bestlap (Practice / Qualifying)
- SelfLapSlower : gap when you do not beat your best laptime (Practice / Qualifying)
- Finished : DQ and race result [Winner - In points - No points] (Race)
- NotEnoughFuel : When you do not have enough fuel to finish the session and when you can only make less than 5 laps with the fuel

 

Great, many thanks!

 

Great start Gerald and cosimo

 

Thanks!

 

thx Gerald sounds interesting. Can I ask how the logic for the spotter messages works ?

 

Amazing !!! Thats what I ve been waiting for .... GREAT FUN to drive hotlaps and qualy now !
32 bit version tested, running smooth (only at race start there was a little `freeze` loading ``green, green, green``)

please continue with more !
What about information of the car in front / back during race ? like (car behind is gaining on you / you are going faster than the car in front (in sector x) / keep pushing you will catch him in 2 or 3 laps / ,....

 

Thank you, Gerald!

 

Sure i will put a message today and then i will create a wiki with all possibilities.
You will see, my goal is to provide a near 100% customizable plugin. So if needed you will be able to create your own events.

 

Agree
Bravissimo Gerald, 100% customizable plugin will be the best! Thanks.
