    Hello Mr. Belowski it is possible to activate the spotter instructions also in training and in the qualification or is that too much work?:rolleyes:
    I mean that if a car is next to you.
    Earlier I drove a race and the spotter had to give me any instructions when a car next to me was.:(
    Mr. Belowski I just noticed that no instructions come in a racing start. Is it possible to activate it myself? Especially when race start, it is important for me in many cars the next one you know whether the right or left is free.;)

    Update again raced. Now it all worked out. It would be really great if the spotter would go well in training and qualification. Or does it not technically?:):rolleyes:

    For race start there's an option - can't remember the name of it but it should be obvious and I think it'll be set to 30s by defailt. Just reduce it to 10 or 15

    A small suggestion.
    • Invoke R3E at startup if the game is not running.
    That would be convenient. :)

    Taxfree, add it as a non steam game and add both it and R3E to your Favorites tab. I have to do that or I forget to launch Crew Chief.

    This app is so great that it's hard to point out weak points! :)
    But I miss the notion of going of track with just a warning and invalid lap.
    Oh, and also "final lap" on timed race.

    Yep, almost what I did.

    If anybody wants but doesn't know how to do this:

    Create a new text file in your CrewChief folder, name it whatever you like (I called it "R3E+CrewChief") and open it using the Windows Editor or Notepad.

    C&P this into it:

    @echo off
    cd "[the location of your CrewChief folder]"
    start CrewChief.exe
    timeout 4
    cd "[the location of your R3E folder]"
    start RRRE.exe
    exit

    My CrewChief and Steam folders are in C:\Games so this is what mine looks like:

    @echo off
    cd "C:\Games\CrewChief"
    start CrewChief.exe
    timeout 4
    cd "C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\raceroom racing experience\Game\"
    start RRRE.exe
    exit

    I added the timeout as a precaution to make R3E wait until CrewChief is finished loading tho I think this wouldn't even be necessary. If CC takes longer to load on your machine just raise this value to 5 or 6 seconds.

    Click "save as" and set filetyp to "all" instead of "txt" (underneath the filename) and add ".bat" at the end of your filename before clicking ok to save the file.

    Now right click the newly created bat file, select "send to" and select "desktop" so a shortcut will be created on your desktop.

    Right click this shortcut file, select "properties" and change "Run: Normal window" to "Run: Minimized"

    Last but not least click the "change icon" button, navigate to your R3E folder and select "RRRE.exe" to have the shortcut use the same icon as R3E (or use any other one you'd like).

    Done. Clicking this shortcut will run CC before starting R3E.

    I just came to think of one more thing.
    If your app can detect when the pit request button is pressed, it would be cool if we could get a "the pit crew is ready for you" or something like that.

    Did a race today and must say I was quite happy with my crewchief. He motivated me when I slacked off, congratulated me when I gain places and knew exactly what was going on with my tires. Think I won the race because of him. :cool:

    Just wish R3E/S3 would pause between practices and qualies so we can see the results before jumping into the next session.

    Do you have to select the RRRE.exe each time Christian? I'm getting an error that RRRE cannot be found and I have this as the second part of my bat file
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\raceroom racing experience\Game\

    Here's the whole script on my end
    @echo off
    cd "G:\CrewChief"
    start CrewChief.exe
    timeout 4
    cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\raceroom racing experience\Game\"
    start RRRE.exe
    exit

    I made mine a bit different with no CD commands, try with your path in this way

    @echo off
    start "CrewChief" "D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\raceroom racing experience\CrewChief\CrewChief.exe"
    timeout 5
    start "R3E" "D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\raceroom racing experience\game\RRRE.exe"
    exit

    Hope it helps

    EDIT: I think the problem is that you have Crewchief on another drive, if both programs are on C:
    yours will will work as it is....

    Walkie Talkie Patch for CrewChief 1.9.4
    Download from google drive.

    Tips
    • Unzip and overwrite everything under CrewChief folder.
    • I recommend to use 100% master volume.
    • You can check my sample video below before you try.
    • If you prefer old cars and sounds, also check here for Old School Sounds patch by Christian Göpfert.
