App Offical release of Crew chief version 4 - auto updating and shiny

OK, will take another look at that one. Although it's possible its been fixed during the big rework for version 3.

V3 should be working well for Raceroom. I'm waiting till s3 release the new stuff in the shared memory before I announce v3 for Raceroom - I want it to use all the new goodies straight away, and I could do with more testing time too. V3 is capable of using a lot of the stuff that's in the pipeline for Raceroom shared memory (like driver names, opponent pitting, opponent lap times etc). Obviously it doesn't yet because it's not available yet.

But if anyone wants to try v3 now, it should be a bit better than v2 with a few fixes and improvements, and it would really help me to get some testing feedback. Details are here:

Will give V3 a go, downloading now.

 

Have gone through a 15 rounds Touring classics championship with V3.
Haven't noticed any bugs so far, and think I only heard "good start mate" once.

 

Great stuff, thanks for that. The app's still progressing and is now at version 3.4.1.

Looks like the Raceroom patch will arrive next week so I'll have a big (very big) update to do. This will (hopefully) include player names (for AI drivers and online players when I get a list of names) along with a new spotter who knows his left from his right, and a ton of other stuff. All depending on what makes it into the shared memory block of course

 

can't wait for this update

I've put R3E in standby a little bit, waiting for this (Dirt:Rally time until then )

 

Firstly mr_belowski, a huge thank you - this is really great (it should be a formal add on with a hefty % to your good self).

Second - I'm running Win 10 and just bought a lovely Kingston HyperX Cloud II 7.1 surround headset especially for R3E and CrewChief. And it all works perfectly except...

...sometimes when I say "What's blah blah...?" Windows 10 is listening and thinks I'm talking to it and opens a webpage or a file for me! Now, when you are coming down the mountain at Bathurst its not what you need at all . Goodness me no - although I will say that when I unpaused and went back in I instantly lost control of the car - and the sound of it hitting the wall and rolling in 7.1 surround is something to behold (but I digress).

Anyway I know its not the fault of your program but I hoped you might know how I fix this... and apologies if its something simple - I'm a voice recognition noob .

Thanks in advance.

 

I haven't tried V3 yet, but can i assign buttons to the voice commands?
I just made a button box and it would be really nice if i could talk to my engineer with that.

keep up the good work

 

Well... just solved the problem (of voice activating windows apps and opening files) myself... ahem... I turned off voice recognition in Windows - genius!! CrewChief starts it up without Windows listening so all is good.

It was even more obvious than I thought... silly me.

 

Sounds great. Thanks for keeping your baby alive.

 

A small bug report...

I just did a race at Brands Hatch (WTCC 13, Get Real, AI=106) and on the third or fourth lap I did the fastest lap of the race and was duly congratulated by CrewChief.

Then... for the remainder of the race every time I crossed the start/finish line I was congratulated again, despite my lap being slower. Occasionally CrewChief commented on my lap being slower and then mentioned it was the fastest lap (again!).

This has never happened before (in about a dozen races) but I thought I'd just report it here.

Brilliant program though - love it and it works perfectly with voice recognition...

Can't wait for version 3 which may well fix this tiny bug...

 

Not heard that one... Was that with version 2.6.x? Version 3.5.2 is the current one. Its not officially been released for Raceroom but it should work. Give it a try

 

Aha... it seems I am (make that was!) using 2.6.0...
I missed the announcement of 3.5.2 - I searched the thread and have now found it.
Downloading as we speak!
Thanks again.

 

I've not announced it yet - I want to incorporate the new stuff in the shared memory when the update is released.

3.5.2 has lots of new stuff and fixes over 2.6, but its been focused on pcars. When the Raceroom update is out I'll update it. I still recommend 3.5.2 for Raceroom tho

 

Just used v3.5.2 in R3E and all worked very well.
Thanks.

 

Do you have a link to 3.5.2

Guys,

I've released 'officially' version 3 for RaceRoom. I've got a backlog of testing to get through so this might be a little early, but I think it's looking pretty good and I'm keen to get it 'out there' so you guys can see (well, hear) what I've been up to.

There are a few issues I still need to resolve but the main app appears to be running well.

There are very few RaceRoom player names in it at the moment. I'm hoping that you guys will give me your RaceRoom names so I can add them. Lots of the AI driver names are in - I tihnk I've got all the driver names for ADAC 2014, GTR3, GTR2, Aquilla, Silhouette, Prototype, M1 ProCar, DTM 2014, DTM 2015, DTM 92, Touring Classics, WTCC 2013, WTCC 2014 and maybe a few more.

So I suggest you start with one of those. The voice recognition knows the driver names, and there are voice files for each one. So if you ask "where's Loeb" in WTCC 2014 it should tell you. If you ask "who's in front", it should also be able to tell you that.

As usual, any feedback, give me a shout.


Oh, and I'm now maintaining a 'lo-fi' sound pack which is a bit more radio-like (see the link in the first post), for those missing Christian's walkie-talkie sounds

 

yeah !

Does that mean we now have a left/right spotter ? and a spotter that work even in practice ?

Can't wait to test it tonight !

Good work, as always!

 

Indeed it does
