    Had the same yesterday after tying your app for the 1st time. Btw it's geat :)
    I was in 5th postition 0.5s behind the guy in front of me. 3rd Position was 10 seconds ahead. I overtook the guy in front of me and a few seconds later the engineer said "Your gap has increased".

    Hello Mr. Belowski I saw you working on a new app.
    I found the old app really great.
    I personally do not understand the new app and find the installation too complicated.
    Also I think it's good when the spotter tells me everything and I have to press any buttons. :)
    I had no problems with the spotter in the first App.
    Now you have to press buttons in the new app. :(
    Work on the old app now you no longer?
    I find that a pity or is it no longer possible to improve the old app further for technical reasons?
    Also, I find it a pity that only Win64Bit users can use the new app. There are still enough 32bit users. Or is that not possible Mr. Belowski.?

    The old app will be replaced with the new app. The new app will (when it's ready) work in exactly the same way as the old app so you won't lose anything - the new additions are all optional functionality. At least, that's the idea. If you *want* to talk to your crew chief and ask him something, you can. But you don't have to - he'll still tell you stuff just like in the old app.

    The new app won't (when I sort it all out) require any additional installation tasks - just run the .exe and click the "Start application" button. I'll keep you guys informed.

    I'll have it all working soon :)

    Guys, I'm reaching a point now where I'd like to work exclusively on version 2. As I've said in my version 2 1st post (now edited to make it clearer), the current V2 *should* work just like the old v 1.9.x, including on 32bit systems, but it'd be a great help if someone can confirm this (I'm 64bit only).

    All the v2 new goodies (speech recognition and button stuff) are optional - it can be run just like the old version with no mic attached or speech stuff installed

    It recognizes the Accuforce and I'm able to map a wheel button now. :)
    Lunch is on me today mate.
    Thanks for all your time and effort.

    Glad to hear it works, and thanks for your generosity :)


    Oh, and I've now moved all my efforts to V2 - there'll be no more updates to V1.9 (at least, that's the plan ;))

    The spotter is the part of the app which gives the "car left" / "car right". This can be turned off separately from the rest of the app. In the app's Properties screen look for a property called "enable_spotter" and untick the box. This will disable the "car left" / "car right" messages

    Thx,

    Great!!!

    Voice comunication souds great and realistic.
    Feels like real DTM driver.
    If I can add sugestion:
    Is it possible to add chief sounds in english but with German, Italian, French or scandinavian acccent like mechanics in DTM or F1, etc.
    I know it is little bit too much but You know that theres a lot teams from Grermany, Italy, France etc.

    Excelant work,

    Hi Jim,

    Many thanks for your great app.

    Where can I get the personalized files without names. So it would be easiest to insert your own name and you would not have to delete a different name first.

    not sure it would work to be honest - having different voices in the same message will sound really weird.

    I've added another batch of driver names (the app will offer to download these).

    I've also added a few more personalisations, so for anyone who's lucky enough to be called (new ones in bold)...

    Adam, Al, Alex, Andreas, Andy, Anth, Ash, Ben, Carl, Chris, Christian, Christoph, Crister, Dan, Darren, David, Des, Edd, Eric, Frank, Gareth, George, Greg, Hannes, Helmut, Ian, Ivan, J-F, Jan, Jean, Jim, Joe, John, Joseph, Juan, Jurgen, Karsten, Kev, Klaus, Leon, Louis, Luca, Lucas, Mark, Martin, Matt, Max, mich, Michael, Mick, Neil, Nick, Nico, Nils, Olle, Oscar, Patrick, Paul, Pete, Peter, Phillip, Ricardo, Rich, Rog, Sam, Sascha, Seb, Si, Stefan, Steve, Tim, Tom, Will, Zak

    you can have the app call you by name if you download this zip file:

    http://crewchief.isnais.de/Personalisations.zip

    From this zip file, choose the sub-folder for the name you want the app to use and copy that folder's prefixes_and_suffixes folder into your C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\CrewChiefV4\sounds\ folder

    So the C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\CrewChiefV4\sounds\ folder contains \driver_names, \fx, \background_sounds, \voice and \prefixes_and_suffixes

    Hey mr_belowski could you add Robert to the names list??
    Robert just seems like a winning name....
    Or cowboy Bob would be great too....?
    Great app, can't race without it now.
    Thanks

    I guess Robert is fairly common so I might add it on this basis, not because it's a winning name. History has shown that names like Jim are actually winning names
