Thank you very much @svictor

 

Thank you very much for your work, I use both HUD & Overlay and it's working like a charm.

 

v1.3.2 small update
DL: https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/releases/tag/v1.3.2

TinyPedal 1.3.2 (2022-05-24)

• Core
  • Add additional player index check before refreshing overlay data,
    to avoid data mismatch that could happen in a multiplayer session
    due to player index change.

 

Hello @svictor . Thanks for your awesome HUD. I miss only one information. The last lap fuel consumiption is a important data, we can use this info for estimate the needed fuel for some qualifying laps for example.

Thank you.

 

hi, the last lap fuel consumption is already available in Fuel widget, it is under "used" label. However it does require at least 2 laps to show correct value, which is same as game's hud. (later, may be I will add a function to store last recorded last lap fuel consumption)

 

More two thing that came to my mind recently:

- Add current tire compound column to the Relative widget.
- Define a shortcut to toggle "Lock Overlay" mode, as an example: "CTRL + E", so it makes easier to edit the layout.

 

I am using a program called DisplayMagician which let me switch to triple screens, start some programs like CrewChief, Simhub etc. and than starts RF2. Tinypedal gives me an error when starting over DisplayMagician. Is there something i can do? Starting Tinypedal in the normal way works.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tinypedal\setting.pyc", line 414, in load
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'config.json'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "run.py", line 23, in <module>

File "tinypedal\setting.pyc", line 440, in save
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'config.json'

 

Assume DisplayMagician creates some kind shortcut to launch tinypedal, maybe it lacks some kind "start location" for tinypedal, so tinypedal can not find config.json file, and tinypedal can not create new config.json due to been launched from a "wrong start location" (for example, this also applies to rfactor2 when you create shortcut for RF2's server or devmode).

 

you were right. The crerator of Displaymagician found some sort of missing working directory. He said he is positive to get it fixed

 

v1.3.3 another small update
DL: https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/releases/tag/v1.3.3

TinyPedal 1.3.3 (2022-05-28)

• Core
  • Added additional best laptime validation condition for deltabest module
    that fixed invalid deltabest laptime being saved in some rare cases.

 

Maybe you guys can help me getting this wonderful app working.
I've downloaded v 1.3.3 and the file rf2_sm_tools_3.7.14.2..put sm tools in the plug-in folder.
It seems that I've missed a step as I don't get errors just the blank widgets without values and I have to untick auto-hide in the options. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Many thx in advance!

 

Just for clarifying
You only have to copy, the rFactor2SharedMemoryMapPlugin64.dll to the ..\rFactor 2\Bin64\Plugins\ folder
Check that the Shared memory plugin is registered and activated in rF2

 

Thx for your help! Activating the plug-in was the missing step.

 

v1.4.0 update - Cruise Widget

DL: https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/releases/tag/v1.4.0

This update mainly brings a new Cruise Widget for added immersion while playing gigantic tracks such as Targa Florio or Isle of Man.

TinyPedal 1.4.0 (2022-06-01)

• [New]Cruise Widget
  • Show compass directions with three-figure bearings that matches game's cardinal directions.
  • Show elevation difference in game's coordinate system, with meter or feet as display unit.
  • Show odometer that displays total driven distance of local player, with km or mile as display unit.
• Fuel Widget
  • Now auto-saves & loads last lap fuel consumption.
• Core
  • Added additional player status check to make sure only valid data gets updated to overlay.
  • Further improvements to deltabest laptime validation.
  • Add new function that constantly recording meters driven by player for deltatime module.
  • Improved module import order.
• Misc
  • Updated customization guide with new configurable setting for Cruise & Fuel Widget.
  • Updated features.md with Cruise Widget info.

Customization guide: https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/wiki#cruise

Note:
rF2 uses a fixed cardinal directions and coordinate system, which means sun always rise from same direction (different from rF1). There are small amount mods where track model was facing at incorrect direction, which you would find both compass reading and sun rise direction does not match real life. (for reference, Y-axis in 3dsimed points towards North direction in rF2.)

Both "meters driven"(for odometer) & "last lap fuel consumption" value can be manually set in config.json, see customization guide (close APP before editing). Their values are auto-saved upon returning to garage screen.

 

Is it supposed to work too during multidrivers races online ?

 

Are you talking about driver swap? Interesting question, I never tested.

 

Yep, I took the start, everything was working fine, we swapped driver, then I came back for a stint later on and had no overlay, I tried to close and open the .exe during a pitstop, didn't worked, so I went a bit blind out there.

 

It works, at least in old version. I haven't tested it in new version but should work the same. One important thing about this APP is that, you can only see overlap & update if you are the driver currently driving the car. Spectate team mate does not count as you are driving, hence will not show the overlay or any data (it should be shown as soon as driver swap is done and you are in control). You have to be the one who is driving to see.

Lemme know if it works, thanks.

(I will also try find someone to help for testing.)

Update:
It is indeed some problem with driver swap, I'll try fix asap.

 

v1.4.1 important update - Fixed driver swap

Thanks to derricklu for testing. Thanks to @Capeta for reporting the issues.

TinyPedal 1.4.1 (2022-06-05)

• Core
  • Removed additional player index check that freezes overlay update.
    Overlay now works correctly with Driver Swap.
