Awesome plugin, i love it !
It's work very well (version 2015) but in solo mode it try to change my cam everytime in race, can it's possible to add a button in assigniation custom plugin to deativate/active it ?

I think it's shift+A by default, if it works.
 
I don't know why it's like less than a tenth of the size of the original DLL, but it seems to be working?

Maybe you built Release and the original was Debug?

From scanning the code I think Ctrl/A toggles activation.

You've put the plugin in the folder, but did you enable it in the options menu? After a restart it works automatically, no keypresses needed.

In general these are the only consistent values I've found. (Been a while since I've looked at this so hopefully this is correct)
1. Normal cockpit view
2. Nose cam
3. Chase
4. Trackside
5. Hood
I've discovered in writing my own version of an auto spectator that it varies wildly per mod above these numbers and S397 stuff doesn't seem to use any values above this. I've written test code that outputs the camera value to the chat window and then I recorded it going through 1000 values. There was nothing above 5 for DLC GT3's for example that is addressable by the WantsToViewVehicle function which is a shame. I needed an addressable rearward looking camera for my version so I'm actually "calibrating" the chase cam by rotating it in code using the CheckHWControl function and then leaving it in that position for a two car "battle mode". I would have much preferred an addressable rear wing cam camera. The "onboards" that you can click through under the video monitor in game are only available by sending commands to CheckHWControl but they are different for every car and you can only cycle through them and not select them individually (you can in some mods but not S397 content) so I have a mode that cycles through them occasionally just to add some visual spice.
 
has anyone found the magic number for the slowmo replays i just cant get them to stop even tho it says anything above 1.0 will stop them working it dont i hve them set to
lowinc=20.0
highinc=30.0 and they still do what they want

Hi, I hope all is well. Are you planning to release your version?
Cheers

I wrote some test code that printed collision values to the chat window for my own plugin and after I drove around and crashed into things, I settled on a value of 1200 as the bottom collision threshold to trigger an action. I'm not totally sure Horcsa's plugin works 100% as it did originally for the current version of rF2. You could try putting 1200 into each of those values and see what happens or maybe 4000 in the "highinc" value. His code was written when those values were scaled differently obviously. Also of note during my testing is that there seems to be a "noise floor" of collision values happening for events that I couldn't notice visually that were in the below 100 range.
 
i belive i have cracked the auto replay shit i put
lowinc=0
highinc=0
and this has stopped it from doing it i ran a 30 min race live and it never done it once
 
ok so iv been messing around with this and have reworked the whole ini file with some miracle i have managed to find some other games that have an auto cam a feature and used some of there text. this now does not do the stupid slow mo auto replay. its main focus is on battles and over takes. the lead battle is always the most focused unless its over a second then it will then look for any close battles up an down the field... just make sue you read the READ ME FILE....

All these extra settings work with the plugin on Github?

I went ahead and attempted to build a version where I removed the replays with immovable objects with the change suggested above, and also removed the insufferable slowmo from replays. It's still a bit overzealous with the replays in crowded starts, but that'll smooth out as the field spreads.
I don't know why it's like less than a tenth of the size of the original DLL, but it seems to be working?

Quick sample of it in action. The stutters are my PC being suboptimal.
lowinc = 15, highinc = 40

EDIT:
So I couldn't help but notice, that the replay first jumps to the exact moment of the incident, and then five seconds before it, which causes quite a bit of CPU strain.
These two editions fix that, with and without wall collision, but the downside is that multiple replay-worth collisions happening close together don't get show properly - the next replay just picks up from where the previous left off. I also shortened the length of the replays to almost half. Would want to reduce it further but that seems to take some extra work.

Some Brands Hatch action with the very accident prone F1 1979 mod, low and high inc at 25 and 50, respectively. You can see the issue with the stacked incidents, but otherwise it seems to handle the situation quite well, even when half the field decides to have a picnic on track.

Thank you @Rujasu for your work—it's truly appreciated! However, I’m a bit unclear about the difference between the "Wall" and "NoWall" versions. Could you please explain?
