    Thankyou, will investigate via test.

    Winzarten, what is the endpoint name for car model? I dont see it in the swaggerpage and I can get the car class, but on my leaderboard I want car model for each driver like you did on the timing grid.

    There should be a CarName in the data, that's what should also shown on the timing grid.

    Hello, I'm not able to get the app working with assetto corsa (CM).
    I've tried everything I know such as opening the game before then opening the app, vice versa, while in race, etc.
    I've clicked the install button during installation and enabled the plugin as well from the python app menu
    I can see that "Assetto Corsa" connected when I open CM but it changes to "Not connected" when I start a race
    I did get it to work couple of times just by starting restarting the game the app somehow but I think it was just miracle because right now whatever I do it just stays on Not connected.
    Any help would be appriciated, Thank you!

    I'm currently building a career app for AMS2, and trying to keep it as realistic as possible. I know SM shows real-time damage models, etc. It would be AMAZING if damages, incident, and accidents were logged too per individual driver in a single race, as JSON file. I don't know how feasible this is, but if the program already has the ability to "see" and display damages, etc., I imagine documentation isn't that far off, but I'm new to this... Thank you for your time and consideration of this feature. I look forward to hearing back in the future.

    I am building a custom championship companion app for R3E and AMS2 myself.
    Look into the shared memory block issued by the developer of the 2 games, as this is how SM also built his connectors, R3E has an online GitHub repo that JF updates which has all the shared memory block endpoints and nested properties.
    Some things you may have to write your own database and logic for. And yes some things come through ready to go. You can obviously build events into your own ever growing career_mode.json which you could use to populate your career dashboard ...it doesn't have to fully agree with the game, you could introduce your own rules and penalties and points systems if it's not 100% lining up.
    The AMS2 API is the Project Cars 2 shared memory API i think?

    Damages is doable, and it can be added to Report.json the app creates after each session. The issue is that the damage can only be reported for the player, as that is the only driver that usually has detailed information in SharedData.

    Incidents are generally not in the shared data, only incident points, and those are only in MP, and only for player (as it is easily abusable if you know the incident points of an opponent). The closest is impact data in rFactor 2 / LmU shared data. But afaik R3E or AMS 2 doens't have anything similar.

    Whats the name of the executable? I can add it on the list of rFactor games in the next update... so, in theory, it should work then :)

    Renaming the game executable to something the app recognizes as a rfactor title (rFactor.exe, AMS.exe...) should also work as a temporal workaround

    A bigger update, after quite a while, for championships :-D
    Enabling this setting, during creation, will enable full multiclass championshiop.

    You get one overall championshis, with all classes + each class will get individual championships, including separate teams and manufacturers championships.

    I there a way for SecondMonitor to remember the first lap you drive on the leaderboards. Sometimes I set the fastest lap on my very first lap but Second Monitor just doesn't register it.

    Hi Winzarten! Thanks for the nice app! Been using it for a long time! Now I'm running LMU and have the issue in Endurance Races, that after a Driver Swap the Car seems to be duplicated in the Leaderboard. Have been searching for any known issues or some sort, but couldn't find anything. Also tried reinstalling the app, but still the same. Any Ideas? Thanks a lot!

    After the last update, SecondMonitor starts and a few seconds after it just disappears and is terminated.

    Somehow Win11 turned on "Controlled folder access".. Turning it off did the job.

    Possibly todays update helps with that. The issue is that I need to have a unique identifier for the driver to group the data through the session, for LmU it was the name. Which obviously doesn't work with drivers changes.
    LmU now uses 'slotId' which is part of the LmU data, but tbh, I don't know if that stays the same during driver change.

    Other than that, the newest update uses the LmU new shared memory model, so the rf2 plugin is no longer required. This also allows access to more data, i.e. the virtual energy is now available for all drivers, not just the player. :)
