[REL] Crew Chief v4.5 with rFactor 2 support

This is a great plugin and I recommend it to all our League Members. I would agree the American accent should be predominantly Southern Drawl for stock car series. If you watch any stock car races the announcers (at least the retired racers) have a southern Drawl, and given then history of stock car racing it is appropriate.

I would be willing to do the northern american accent (Mid-West, Wisconsin) for the non-southern drawl accent if you want. I only ask that you include my name in the next round of personalisations. "Chad"

will do those names in the next batch. As an Englishman I can't tell the difference between Boston and Alabama accents anyway so you can send me anything and tell me it's a Southern Drawl, and I'll be none-the-wiser :)

That made me remember once at a IndyCar race in Barber Ana Beatriz (Bia Figueiredo) said "Coming to Alabama is funny, it's like you don't know english anymore" :D
 
Belowzski.
I see the spreadsheet is again 'View Only"
I want to add my name to the list of drivers (Gerhard) like ( like the former F1 racer's name)

Empty Box has a good voice, but you'll want someone with a southern drawl, too. Stockcars just aren't stockcars without the drawl. :)

Then you would need both. Other than stock cars (small portion of rF2 content) having a crew chief with a southern drawl wouldn't sound right - I'd rather have an English accent. If there isn't any technical limits, then I guess the more the merrier.

Note spotter and chief are different people IRL - one is in garage/pits, the other is up the cherry tree with binoculars. So spotter sounds will apply only to spotter functionality (small subset of functionality). Also, if you use "Realistic mode", spotter functionality only applies to stock cars/ovals. There's no spotter in DTM or F1.

First of all, let me say that this is a fantastic program! I've just tried it for the first time and it works wonderfully in all three of the sims I drive.

But I've just tried to donate but it won't let me without creating a paypal account? I chose credit card instead of paypal, but it insists I create a paypal account with my credit card information without an option to just donate. That's really too bad as I would love to donate.

Anyway, thanks for the great program!

Ahhh, didn't realize as all I've ever heard was Jim's voice. I guess I just thought my crew chief was very talented!
 
thanks fella :)

I've filtered and packaged them in a format that CC can use, and removed some that don't work so well:

http://crewchief.isnais.de/spotter_Matt.zip

If you want to try them out, you can unzip this file into your C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\CrewChiefV4\sounds\voice\ folder (so this folder contains, among other things, subfolders called "spotter", "spotter_Geoffrey", "spotter_Clare" and now "spotter_Matt").

Then when you start the app Matt should appear in the "Spotter voice" list box - select it and restart the app and you should now hear your own dulcet tones for spotter calls.

If you're happy with it and are happy to have these sounds used in the app, I'll add them to the auto-updater.


I agree that we should have "inside" and "outside" calls on ovals - these sounds are still in the package and I'll add this feature (ovals only) soon
 
Sorry to be a pain dude, but can I ask for 3 more sounds?

radio_check: "spotter radio check"
enable_spotter: "OK, I'll spot" / "OK, I'll give those calls"
disable_spotter: "OK, no more spotter calls" / "OK, no spotter calls"
 
I had a race last night after an update to CC and must say this again, thank you very much. The info was precise and very helpfull during the race and thank you for adding my name too.

Who is this "Clare" voice? Are you guys going SJW here with some feminist powa? :D Joking, but is it a female voice?

Yes, Alex, it is a female voice. Someone told me that one driver in North American races has his sister as spotter, so that's possible even in real life :)
