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

Well you *were* last

 

Will you be adding more names in the future Jim? I'm really interested in the personalisation aspect. Thanks!

 

Yes I will, probably about 20 or 30 at a time

 

Installed it ages ago and never used it once, reinstalled yesterday, nearly fell of the road laughing, its usually me being called the twat!
Nice job!

 

Great work, full immersion in the race ... thank you and I buy !!

 

Ok, I love it, any plans to have it for other sims too???
(Thinking to Reiza products...)

 

Interesting

Will obviously be happy to help with that. So you've done a c++ rfactor plugin to populate a memory mapped file? If so it should be easy enough to add AMS / rfactor support to Crew Chief. It's probably going to be a lot of work (the pcars support was) but its unlikely to be hard or complicated.

It also opens up the possibility of rfactor 2 support, which is exciting.

The crew chief code is pretty grotty in places so might be a pain to work with (sorry...) but I'll do what I can to help.

Would also be cool to have this stuff end up in the main branch eventually, if you want it to. So it's a single app which supports more games, but that'll be you choice obviously

 

Mr_Belowsky and Gongo...please, join your forces, make us happy!!!

 

Agree entirely re: rfactor 2. It may be an awesome simulation but it's a *hopeless* game. Would prefer to focus on AMS too

 

Dare I ask, is Assetto Corsa completely lost cause to get included to supported game? Iirc I've read that you had some problems with it.

Edit. Oh and would love to get this to AMS too.

 

Yeah, their half assed shared memory combined with some silly python and no way to debug anything just makes it awful to work with. And Kunos always completely ignore my requests for help or info. So I lost interest

 

"hopeless"...why?

 

Kinda sad to hear that but fully understand. Thanks for the answer.

 

Not the right place to talk about it...we shouldn't derail from main thread...but...yes I think is hopeless too!!!
(We can talk about rF2 on their forum if you want...)

 

That's disappointing

S3 and SMS have both been awesome

 

Volume Too Low?
I had this issue and noticed a few others commenting about it in the past so I wanted to share my findings.
I found that when I use Stereo in game settings the Crew Chief volume is great, louder than the engine and all other sounds.
However if I change my in game sound settings to 5.1 I can only hear the Crew Chief faintly. Both instances with CC Messages Volume set to max, no other changes.

Thought that might help someone having issues with volume.

Have to admit I like the personalization, a lot, especially when the message's about me having done a great start.
Nothing to complain about so far.

 

I don't think my crew chief likes me anymore. He doesn't say as much to me and he never mentioned my name once

 

You sure you put the right folder into the right directory?

 

I think so I followed Mr Bs instructions.
