Pit to car radio app available - work in progress

Can't detect that I'm afraid

 

Yeah, that one always stumps me...and heppsan apparently.

Thought this would be easy as there's a warning when going the wrong way, that it might be in the playerorientation value...but if it isn't put out...

Thought it could be useful after a spin maybe...of course on most tracks it is obvious, but if one doesn't know so sure and goes for max immersion, meaning all overlays off, it would be a nice occasion to swear away.

 

Not looked too closely at player orientation but you might be right. I'd just assumed it was orientation relative to some common direction (north or whatever) but it might actually relative to the track at the current point. I'll have a fiddle when I'm back

 

Nice, thanks and enjoy your vacation.

 

If keyboard/joystick button status field is in the shared memory, that might be possible.
( and additional control of the app too. )

 

warning message idea "the stewards have given us a warning for cutting the track, keep between the white lines", "we have been given a warning for track limits" and "If you keep cutting the track we will get a penalty"

 

I think S3 will be wasting their time in developing their own pit to car app cause this one is near perfect.

 

No, not in R3E as of yet.
And at the most common moment of making it the wrong way, (in the pits) we are turned slightly and facing the direction we should go.
In Race 07 on the other hand, I don't know how many times I've made the wrong turn out on the pits from the garage.. .

But S3S have added some tracks lately that I'm not super familiar with, and a big barrel roll with a spin can be quite disorienting!
So it might actually come in handy.

 

Can you start a new thread for this, please. Unable to find this post after weeks.

 

I tried the apps last week-end and find it gorgous !

Very well done, very great work here!

There's only one little thing I didn't get right. I don't know if it's a known issue (if so forgive me, I didn't read all the topic)
It seems that it doesn't give the right number for hundreths of seconds. I hear well the timing: minutes and seconds are correct, but after it doesn't match the real value.
Anybody else on this one ?

 

The tenths should be correct but it doesn't give hundredths so it will round to the nearest tenth. So 0.16 will be read as 0.2.

At least, that's the intention - if its still wrong give me a shout

 

okay !!
I didn't get it
Was waiting for the same value as displayed
Thanks

 

Agreed. I think this adds so much to this game and it's THE best spotter app in any racing sim I've ever played.

 

Sorry, I don't have a plan to start a new thread for this at the moment.
Here is the link #464.

 

It's linked in my thread, so if you get lost around this place, just check out mine. ^^

 

I must say I would find my team telling me how many laps or how long the race will be a little silly. I think this is one of the things you are supposed to know in advance (at least).

 

Is it possible to detect if the car behind me is in the same lap. That would be helpful. I would expect something like "Let him pass!" or so.

 

Quotes from 2015 F1 GP races:

"Peter Bonnington to Lewis Hamilton: We were front-left limited on the last stint, so we need to look after that now, 30 laps remaining."

"Tony Ross to Nico Rosberg: Six laps remaining, we can still do something here."

"Valtteri Bottas to Jonathan Eddolls: How many laps to go?
Jonathan Eddolls to Valtteri Bottas: Three."

"Riccardo Adami to Sebastian Vettel: OK good, he is saying that it is impossible to pass you. That’s good. Keep going like that. Keep your head down. Six laps to go."

"Tony Ross to Nico Rosberg: 21 laps remaining. Vettel has stopped again also on [hard] tyres, he is at least ten seconds behind..."

"Peter Bonnington to Lewis Hamilton: So Nico 29.5, 11 laps remaining."

"Dave Robson to Felipe Massa: Nine more laps to go."

"Lewis Hamilton to Peter Bonnington: How many laps?
Peter Bonnington to Lewis Hamilton: Seven remaining."

"Kimi Raikkonen to David Greenwood: How many laps we have?
David Greenwood to Kimi Raikkonen: Six after this, Kimi."

"Simon Rennie to Daniel Ricciardo: Six laps to go. Bottas is starting to do a lot of defending to Vettel."

Those bloody F1 amateurs.

I think he meant at the start

 

But, at this time R3E race are time based and not lap number based (DTM Exp is lap number based if I'm not mistaken)
A " X lap to go" message is not possible, but maybe a " 5 min to go" etc can be usefull. Or a simple "Last lap" when time's off.
