[REL] TinyPedal - open source overlay APP for rF2 (Radar,Pedal,FFB,Deltabest,Relative,Fuel calculator)

v1.1.9 update - Important bugfix for relative widget
See newer version for further bugfix.

This update mainly fixed a player index mismatch issue that breaks Relative widget.
Please lemme know for any further issues found in APP.

TinyPedal 1.1.9 (2022-04-18)
----------------------------
* Relative
- Fixed a player index mismatch issue that happens in multilayer session when a player leaves server,
which interrupts Relative data calculation and halt APP.

* Core
- Improved setting code, removed unnecessary setting groups.
- Optimized widget code structure, removed redundant codes, easier to create new widget.
- Simplified widget module import method, removed repetitive references.
- Improved setting auto-sorting, moved "overlay" setting back to the top of the JSON file.

 

I tested now and the bug still happening, when someone leaves the server everything stops, despite that I kept on track and when other car entered the server the hud started to work again.

 

I see, I'll need to find some one help testing, as I can't test it alone in server.

Edit: finished rewriting some logic of relative code, but still waiting for some one who can help me testing. Will update as soon as tests done.

 

I would help testing.

After a day of debugging & testing, the problem (was in fact affecting most of the APP) is now fixed.
Thanks to friend Sendoh for helping & testing, and thanks for everyone's support.

Thanks to DKxiaoming for helping testing, as well as DumiBirdF for technical advice.

TinyPedal 1.1.11 (2022-05-03)
* Pressure Widget
- [New]Add option to display tyre load percentage ratio between left & right tyres of same axle (default on).

* Core

and shows notify & closes APP to prevent multiple TinyPedal APP from running at same time.
- Removed unnecessary method from deltatime module.

* pyRfactor2SharedMemory library
- Now constantly updating player index number in a separated thread at 10ms refresh rate,
which helps reduce large amount unnecessary repeated function calls.
- Removed additional player index code that could freeze data reading in rare cases.
- Removed duplicated calls to playersDriverNum() method.

* Misc
- Updated customization guide with new configurable setting for Pressure Widget.
- Add new contributor to contributors.md.

 

This is the best overlay out there since the GID - Global Info Display in the past years. Great job, keep working in this. Thanks for sharing.

 

Is there a chance to include values like remaining session time(s) and the amount of already driven laps etc.?

 

Yes, I'll try find some time to do it... (isle of man AIW is taking most of my time atm)

DL: https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/releases/tag/v1.2.0

TinyPedal 1.2.0 (2022-05-06)

- Show driver's current lap number & max laps (if available), with customizable lap number description text.
- Displays warning color if driver is about to exceed max-lap in qualify (or indicates the last lap of a lap-type race).

Hello to you,
your app is great, it just needs a radar application
thank you again for sharing your work

 

Hi Victor.
Thank you for your overlay.
I've a wish.
If i understand this correctly:

• Driver's current lap is the current lap of the session
• Max laps (if available) are the total laps of the session

Coud be possible to have also:

• Driver's current lap with the current tyres.
  
• Max laps with the current tyres, taking in account the wear of the previous lap.

This would be very useful to do the strategy and to adapt the pace during the race.

Thank you very much.

 

It's in the "To do list"

Hi, that's a very good idea, I think this can be implemented in "Wear widget", as it is already keep tracking wear of last lap. I'll probably just need to add an extra (or two) panel for it and do the calculation stuff. I'll see what I can do. Thanks!

Edit:
About radar, it is definitely possible, but will require time to research and code (as well as the limitation that the GUI interface has). So it is a tough task I hope to do it after new Isle of man update is done (it will still take a month or two as there are many things I want to improve & add).

 

oh mi gran amigo, you are fantastic!
regards

 

@svictor you are the best man

 

Hi, I have a suggestion for a new widget/overlay on "car balance" (useful for practicing or working on setups):

* Tire loads (x 4 values), displayed as bars/colors (rather than numbers as in the current tire widget).
* Longitudinal tire load balance (front vs rear ratio), displayed as bars/colors
* Tire grip (x 4 values), displayed as bars/colors
* Longitudinal tire slip or lockup (x 4 values), displayed as bars/colors
* Lateral tire slip or lockup (x 4 values), displayed as bars/colors

 

Thank you, Victor.
That would be fantastic.

 

With these new btcc cars, I think we gonna need a Push to pass indicator.

Svictor gonna be crazy with the amount of work.

 

I'm not sure if sharedmemory has provided "push to pass" data, as it is a new thing and wasn't mentioned in current API.

I do plan to add a new vehicle instrument widget that will show all kinds of switches like headlights, ignition starter, etc.

Of course, since there are more and more widgets made available, it is important for me to design them carefully, to be efficient, clear and compact, so that them don't overwhelm the driving screen.
