Some spanish lads with difficulties to install this awesome tool cold love this step by step guide:

 

thank you , so kind, i will try to make a translation or add subtitles soon.

 

Hi

& is the 1st post of this thread still the one to download?

 

Yes and yes.

 

A spotter and SOOOOO much more.

 

It’s great software thanks
I’ll put a donation in when I get a mo

 

Hi all!
Does anyone know how the Crew Chief app determines when tires are "all worn out" in rFactor 2? I've noticed I get that status despite the in-game tire monitor showing the tires are okay. Is there a somewhere I can adjust this?

 

It gets wear info from rF2 plugin API. Thresholds are hardcoded in the app and currently not adjustable. IIRC you can disable tire messages if it bothers you.

Out of curiosity - do you get that on all cars? I wonder if some cars have wear info disabled, which actually would be quite realistic - most real life series disallow telemetry during the race. And, for that exact reason Crew Chief has "Realistic mode", which allows you to specify what messages series allow.

 

I've gotten it on the S397 Gt3 cars, and the USF2000.

No no we need him here , not as an employee.

 

Hello and Thanks for your work!, we are a spanish league we are streaming our races in auto, with a camera tool, and the rfactor 2 broadcast overlays, i use crewchief as a driver, its very useful and more with VR, we have other pc for streaming, is there a way to do crewchief working in spectator mode in auto some way?, like speaking with fastest laps, whos first, position changes, yellow flags, laps remaining, etc? its because streamings without voice are a bit bored, thanks again.

 

No, this is currently not supported. Over years few people asked for it, but it is a big feature and I don't think we have it in plans. Crew Chief is open source, so if any C# programmer would like to try adding Commentator mode (there are already two operating modes: Circuit Racing and Rally/Co-driver Mode), no one would mind

 

Is there a way to have Jim understand or translate C1,C2,C3,C4,C5 tires?

Thank you

 

Do you mean in the Pit Manager? Which car has those tyres? It is… tricky to handle the tyres in rFactor, I did add a way you can add new tyres but if it’s a common vehicle then I’ll add them to the program.

 

Hey bud,

Several of the F1 mods I have use actual Pirelli designation C1/C2/C3/C4/C5 instead of hypersoft/supersoft/soft/med/hard. How can we add new tires?

Thank you very much

 

Edit the file Documents\CrewChiefV4\rF2\TyreDictionary.json

Code:

  "Hypersoft": [
    "hypersoft",
    "ultrasoft",
    "supersoft",
    "soft",
    "alternates",
    "s310",
    "slick",
    "dry",
    "allweather",
    "medium"
  ],

to

Code:

  "Hypersoft": [
    "hypersoft",
    "C1",
    "ultrasoft",
    "supersoft",
    "soft",
    "alternates",
    "s310",
    "slick",
    "dry",
    "allweather",
    "medium"
  ],

and repeat for the other tyre compounds.

Here it is in the code:

That should work...

(It's mentioned in Crew Chief Help but it's deliberately vague!)

 

@Elcid43 if you try it please post how you get on, if it works I'll change CC.

 

I will bud, should find some time today

 

I should add that I don't think I have these cars, otherwise I would have found these compounds when scraping the data from the cars I do have. That's why I asked you to try it.
