    You do not need to sort by position. Just check rf2scoring.mscoringinfo.mnumvehicles. it contains number of updated vehicles. To save couple of picosecond. I don't clear buffer past active,as you noticed:)

    Check the monitor app it shows pretty much everything you need to do to read this stuff.

    Mimd me asking what are you trying to do?

    Let me know if you have questions.

    something I did not investigate yet, is running plugin in dedicated server. There's untested code in plugin, that roots from rF1 plugin. But if you'll need it I can have a look at some point. Good luck :)

    One more thing - if you end up using this plugin, let me know please. Having list of users will help me convincing people to move, as running fewer plugins is good for rF2.

    rF2ScoringInfo.mSectorFlag array always returns [1,11,11] if yellow flag is in any sector. For example, if YF is in S2 it is [1, 11, 11] instead of [11, 1, 11]. Is this a bug?

    Hmmm, I never heard CC announce yellow incorrectly. I checked the code and looks I am only reading this in CC during Race. What session is this?

    Ok, so I was testing before only on Silverstone International layout and there mSectorFlag does not work correctly. Now I tried other 2 Silverstone layouts and there it works correctly. So I guess its a Silverstone International track bug and not related to plugin. Sorry again.

    s3 yellow.

    Note that shared memory plugin does pretty much nothing but copies rF2 internals, and if there's problem copying somewhere many things will be completely broken. The only artificial struct is rF2Extended.

    Hi @The Iron Wolf
    How does one go about this ?
    "Note that "Create Global Objects" permission is needed on user account running dedicated server."

    Hi Ceecee, This is administrative/Group Policy task and you have to research it yourself unfortunately. But roughly, on Pro OS there's Local Security Policy->Local Policies->Create global objects.

    This might not be available on Home editions.

    09/04/2018 - v3.1.0.0

    Plugin:

    • Exposed FFB info. Add $rFactor2SMMP_ForceFeedback$ buffer to map rF2ForceFeedback structure. Note that since it is a single value buffer, and it is updated at 400FPS, no synchronization is applied nor needed while reading it.
    Monitor:

    • Updated to expose FFB info.

    @The Iron Wolf
    Does your plugin support the data output of the new integrated ABS and TC?
    Seems like it doesn't. But would be cool for SimHub.

    Did S397 announce they exposed anything new (other than deltaBest)? I checked InternalsPlugin from s397, still good old v7 from ISI :) So I am not aware of any updates.

    There are 2 things related to TC/ABS in v7 internals:
    Code:
    // Driver input
      double mUnfilteredThrottle;    // ranges  0.0-1.0
      double mUnfilteredBrake;       // ranges  0.0-1.0
      double mUnfilteredSteering;    // ranges -1.0-1.0 (left to right)
      double mUnfilteredClutch;      // ranges  0.0-1.0
    
      // Filtered input (various adjustments for rev or speed limiting, TC, ABS?, speed sensitive steering, clutch work for semi-automatic shifting, etc.)
      double mFilteredThrottle;      // ranges  0.0-1.0
      double mFilteredBrake;         // ranges  0.0-1.0
      double mFilteredSteering;      // ranges -1.0-1.0 (left to right)
      double mFilteredClutch;        // ranges  0.0-1.0
    
    So I suppose when ABS fluctuates, Filtered brake will vary from Unfiltered. Same for TC and throttle.

    Second, aid settings are already exposed via
    rF2Extended::mPhysics

    namely:
    Code:
    struct rF2PhysicsOptions
    {
      unsigned char mTractionControl;  // 0 (off) - 3 (high)
      unsigned char mAntiLockBrakes;   // 0 (off) - 2 (high)

    Hi. I see now that mServerName is available in API. Do you plan on adding it to rF2ScoringInfo? Would be useful to show server name in LiveTiming.

    Hi, I'll ping you on the Discord to discuss. I will be looking into plugin updates soon, because it turns out there are few fields in the reserved bytes that are given meaning in SCR/KQ plugin. I will see where this fits. I don't see code now but if it is not part of current ScoringInfo, it'll likely have to go the new buffer, or extended, because buffers are exact mirror of ISI structures.
