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

Got it, there are couple of TelWheel variables not used in that calculation that might help estimate wheel diameter better (mRideHeight looks promising) I'll take a note :)
 
It should be possible to do this without needing the exact wheel size - as long as it's in the right range ('car', 'go kart', 'monster truck') it should work ok. Perhaps the wheel rotational speed isn't in the units you're expecting or something? I'll have a look tomorrow
 
Hi jim, am i right when assuming that he should not call out thos spin/lock warnings more then once pr lap ?

I am stalking him from AMS forums ( I am stalking you too)...but I don't see him for a long time now...Maybe he changed his address?
If yes please tell me because is cold in the car... and I am bored to wait him...:p
 
Thanks for the insight and effort to all. It was just a confusing message.

FYI, Trackmap does have a widget the displays wheel slippage on all four wheels, usually indication pushing/sliding into a corner, locking the brakes, or accelerating. I wonder if it senses the same parameters and interprets them differently, or is something totally different.
 
Hello!
I wanted to see if people find feature where Blue flag is announced if car behind is close behind and considered faster, useful? This is not coming from the game, and I personally do not like it. Unless many people like this feature, I'd like to remove it (or make it optional). Cheers!

It is really useful online! A real must have... in race!
It works also in practice and in quali: when you are doing (trying to make... ) a good quali lap, it can be pretty annoying to get blue flag from a car that started a little bit earlier than you and made an extra lap. Not sure if you can disable it only in those sessions?

Blue flag is mega usefull, if it happens in the same distance as the spotter plugin even better, that one is perfect for multiclass online so the protos don't appear on your back as a surprise
 
Recently I complained that I didn't like the accent used by CrewChief and that I wanted it in U.S. English. Over the past few days, I've created a process and script that allows anyone to replace the driver_names and voice folders in CrewChief with their own wav files. The process uses the default Windows voice (Microsoft David or Zira in U.S Windows 10), which means you could also do the files in German, Yorkshire-ian, or any language you desire. All you have to do is create a text file of the comments you want and run the script on it and it will create the appropriate wav files in the correct locations. It uses two free, open source programs to do text-to-speech, so the sound is somewhat computerish, but you can't always get what you want. If the management of CrewChief has no objection, I would like to share the details here for anyone who might be interested.

My only objection is to your taste in accents, sir (or should I say 'mate') ;)

Post away - some folks have also asked for the app to use a woman's voice, so this might be useful for them too

For what it's worth I think the voicing and accent is great. Probably wouldn't change even if there were other options. The only critique I would add would be the way the lap time numbers are read out. The vocal inflection is a little flat leading to a slightly computerised/mechanical sound. The rest of what I've heard is very natural and flows brilliantly. BTW this is a very minor critique.
 
The number sounds can't really have a proper inflection because they need to be usable in different contexts. The 'right' inflection is a combination of where they sit in a sentence (which is fixable by recording 3 or 4 versions of each number) but also the sounds immediately before and after then (real speech flows from one sound to the next - there are too many combinations for numbers so this isn't really fixable).

Gianfranco worked very hard on creating differently inflected number sounds for the Italian sound pack, because in Italian inflection is really important for numbers. The app's number reading component does allow differently inflected sounds to be selected depending on where they are in the number.

For English, it could be improved by adding different inflections like Gianfranco did, but it'll still sound a bit robotic. I'll do some experiments next week, see if I can get it a little more natural
