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

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.

I tried it and it worked for the hard tire but the others kept defaulting to the C3. Didn't have much time to tinker, I will play with it more when I have more time
 
Hi rFactor 2 players,

I am happy to announce, that Crew Chief version 4.5 has rFactor 2 support added!

Crew Chief is a team radio engineer, developed and maintained by @mr_belowski. He kindly supported this effort, and thanks to him and gongo we now have human like, highly responsive, open source spotter in rF2. If you're not familiar with CC, check out those videos: http://thecrewchief.org/forumdisplay.php?22-Crew-Chief-videos

I'd like to thank gongo for his work on adding rF1/AMS support in Crew Chief. This work started off rF1/AMS implementation.

Also, I'd like to thank my friend, @jefcam who helps me test privates and provides excellent inputs, feedback and helped greatly with the initial release.

Yes, we need to tidy that up. There's a Discord sticky:
Here's the voice recognition help page : https://mr_belowski.gitlab.io/CrewChiefV4/VoiceRecognition_InstallationTraining.html which includes an alternative link to the Microsoft speech recognition installers - they're no longer hosted on Microsoft's site

Or better still, follow the Help advice and use Windows speech recognition engine.

I followed your advises and its working, many thanks. Just a question, german isnt available?
 
great Crew Chief in Rfactor2
may you please tell me how to have only "radar" or "heli" type ? I mean only to hear the spotter telling me if/when I have an opponent on the right/still there/clear and no other messages at all ?
I like silence in racing, but I need to know if there is an opponent on my side ...
any help would be very appreciated
 
when activating Crew-Chief and game-spotter simultaniosly, i noticed that Crew-Chief ist a couple of tenth behind calling "INSIDE"... compared to game-spotter.
Maybe there ist a way to synchronize this..
thx

The general rule with CC is to turn off the ingame spotter. This avoids confusion or overlapping audio. However the delay is probably due to the time needed to grab the data and pass it through CC to your ears. I would guess the less strain on your system might lessen the time difference.

There is a function you can map a key to silence chief and other to do the same with the spotter, I'm not on the computer right now but IIRC it was called turn messages on/off.

thank you atomed for your answer, but I need to have always working and hear the "car left"/"still there"/"clear" messages but no others, only the ones relating you opponent when is alongside you ... how to do that ?
 
Yes, that's what I meant, they're independent. I also sometimes want the chief to shut up and leave the spotter on, and that's how I make.it.
