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

I'll need to return to my computer to test

 

See if you can find a .net error in the event log (application)

 

Hugh - i've not been able to find anything in the tyre temps code that looks like right and left are being swapped over. It looks OK to me so far, so I'll add some logging - in the next version it'll read the warning and log the tyre temps to the console

 

ok two logs were created

Code:

Application: CrewChiefV2.exe

hope this helps
the highest .net frame work version number i could see on regedit.exe is v4.0 but there was about 6 other ones aswell

 

hmmm... that does suggest that it can't find steam.exe - what path is steam installed into, and what are you using for the value of r3e_launch_exe in the app?

 

ok this was the problem i put in "C:\Program Files\steam\steam.exe" instead of "C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steam.exe"

 

the exception handling in the current version is baaad - i'm in the process of sorting this out so at least similar, er, 'user errors' will result in a more helpful message

 

Thanks mr-belowski for making this amazing app. Wish I could give you a thousand likes for it!!!!
Really top notch!

 

Just finished a few races while using this application, it's really nice. Good job mate!

 

Muppets...

 

I did a whole lot of driving today, all good.. I thinks its a delay.. were two corners a close together I'm getting the previous corner after exiting the next corner if you follow.. which threw me off.
I love your commitment to squash bugs sir.. again very grateful for your work..

 

this is so cool

 

I'll take that delay out and move the call to the end of sector one, should sort it. Thanks for the info

 

Oops, double post

 

Paypal

 

If anyone loves the app so much they want to buy me a pint or two, my PayPal account is Jim.britton@yahoo.co.uk. Just to save you having to rummage through the old v1 thread looking for it.

But like I said before, its really not necessary, I just enjoy building this stuff and its great to see it getting used and enjoyed by you folks

 

just a small bug report: finished the race and got the message "You pulliing away that the gaps now..." instead of the victory message.
(also I recommend you change "your lap times are worsening" to "your lap times are increasing", it just makes more sense)

 

Slight change to the tyre temp checking... I was going to trigger the temps check when you reach one of the sector lines, but this is risky because they're sometimes in the middle of fast corners. This would trigger warnings about high temps on one side, which aren't helpful because it's the average temps over a lap that are important here. Checking the average for the current lap whilst you're in a fast corner might trigger false-positives.

I'm going to have to just remove the delay and add the tyre temp check to the ever increasing number of messages triggered when you cross the line. I'll have another think about this. The next version of Crew Chief will be a couple of days away anyway as there are some internal changes that need more testing time.

Edit - i'll check that Shardshunt

 

Thanks for the beer Paul Martin - very generous of you

 

More than welcome.
