Also very interested in this subject!
I see this in outsim :
float SteerTorque; // Nm : steering torque on front wheels (proportional to force feedback)
Which seems like a pretty good sign!
Unfortunately not usable by an external application though because not provided at a high enough frequency I think (+ slight latency?)

Hello !
I think it's all in the title. I need to renew my server but wanted to upgrade to 1 year instead of 6 months which is obviously not offered.
I guess the only solution is to create a new host (same name but at the right time when the other one ends and update the host address in external tools !?

Thanks for your feedback guys.
I will try to process each one as soon as I can.

Did you have a log file of these crashes ?

Hello,

New version today with a new feature that I was asked a lot by the French community.

1.2.2.4 - 20221123
[New] The buddies are here!
[Fix] Some buttons are no longer displayed in the game screens (grid composition, main window, etc.)

Same Link as before (2nd post)
You can overwrite only the exe if you already have the application


About the buddies, you can found some instructions in the readme.txt :

Quote :

Configuration :
If you do not have the line below in the Detect&Monitor.cfg file
- add it by copy and paste :
Pubstat: null (! Warning: formatting, spaces and case important!)
- or Start Detect&Monitor (version greater than or equal to 1.2.2.4) then close it, the line must have been added

For the "Buddies" option to work, you have to fill in your pubstat : in Detect&Monitor.cfg file, replace "null" by your Pubstat key.
>> If you don't know it, to get it, go to LFSWorld then "My LFS Settings", tab "Pubstats access" ("Generate Ident-Key" if you don't already have one)
>> If you were using Lazy, you can find it in LFSLazy.config.txt file,

Detect&Monitor consults Pubstat every 30s, it remains largely in the free use of the service.

List of buddies:
Add in the file Detect&Monitor-BuddyList.cfg the license names of your friends (1 line per name).
(You can edit the file with your usual text editor or in Detect&Monitor with the button next to "Buddies")

Here is an example of Buddies on screen. I don't know what happens if you have too many friends, I don't have too many (but I can't get it to show in another screen right now).
You can click on a friend to join him directly on the server where he is.


and an example of Detect&Monitor-BuddyList.cfg:


Then you can activate it in Detect&Monitor :


Have fun...

To clarify, the broadcast is managed by the NFR team (Nanex as manager of the NFR team and manager of Nanex TV channel and Hekatte as a super commentator / streamer).
They use a software that I developed which manages the driver/cars to follow (automatic or manual), all the cameras, some of which (mentioned by Tomfuel) are fully coded for the tool and finally the overlay display of the information appearing in the broadcast.

All this to show my beautiful fights with Flame CZE ! Who can then make beautiful pictures !

Quote from rik97 :

Might it be something with the 6H format race?

It doesn't seem to be related to the type of race (duration instead of number of laps). I suspect the "Michelin" mod that displays the race status (green / yellow).
Strangely, I didn't find it in the list of mods in my LFS!? If some people have information how works this kind of "object mods", I'm interested...

Is it possible to have a "command line" mode of viewer.exe (or another dedicated exe file) to generate an image of the car with skin.

For example:
c:\LFS\Viewer>viewer.exe -model XFG -skin GumKing2022 -view L -background blue
(-view = generated 2d view and -background to choose a colour, sky as in the viewer or transparent background)

To obtain this kind of views (in 4 separate files with -view = L / F / R or T and -background grey):

You're right, that was my first thought too because I don't think it was ever used in a race condition based on time and not a number of laps. I'll look into that.

Hello Ayoub,
Yes the Gums who were participating told me that too. I tried to make you something for the event but something else must be wrong, sorry. I'll have a look!

yep sorry, no change about win 7.

Quote from Ayoub2016 :

Does Monitor works with driver change situation, cause yesterday I tried to swap with my teammate and takeover the car but after nothing appear on the screen

Hello endurance drivers!

New release today:

Same Link as before (2nd post)
You can overwrite only the exe if you already have the application

1.2.2.3 - 20221111
[New] "Take over car" (relay) function implementation

Good relays to you !

Oups sorry, I forget it in the zip... It's now ok if you download it again.

it seems to be something wrong in your config file.
(no problem about python 3.11, the version needed by Detect&Monitor is embebded in the exe file).
Did it work with the previous version ? Did you not overwrite your config file ?

Hi all,

Here is a new small update.

1.2.2.2 - 20221109
[Fix] Car not deleted on radar when out of radar range

Same Link as before (2nd post)

As mentioned on other posts, D&M is unfortunately not compatible with Windows 7.
(I had already looked into it but will check again if something is possible for python 3.10 / windows 7...)

Hello,
@justadroover, I found some information about this error but it would be easier with some additional information (Windows version at least).
@timdecnodder, the error is not normal (no error is normal), but I can strongly assume that it is because you are not using the latest version 0.7D of LFS.

@MitoLopez, is it with LFS version 0.7D !?

hello Ayoub2016,
I won't be surprised if it doesn't work because I've never done it. I will have a look how it works in insim and try to implement it (although not easy to test I guess)

Thank you for your answers and ideas.
The question was to validate that it was not possible in an official way.
So, I used a 3rd method = check current Node (I have it in memory) vs Start Node (I didn't find it in memory but I have it thanks to the RST package).

Small quick fix thanks to loopingz :

1.2.2.1 - 20221016
[Fix] Old predict incorrectly loaded

(zip updated in the usual link)

Hi all,

Here is a new version with (I think/hope) some new interesting features.

Same Link as before (2nd post)
You can overwrite only the exe if you already have the application

1.2.2.0 - 20221015
[Fix] Error moving widgets with keyboard arrows
[Fix] Some predict/potential best issues
[Improved] Predict available from the 1st lap
[New] Debug mode on the interface (not activated by default)
[New] "Low perf" mode (for really old computer !?)
[New] Possibility to move widgets with the mouse ('XX' then right click)
[New] PB ghost on "radar" mode

About the 2 main new features :
- PB ghost
Just click on "PB Ghost" on the interface. A blue circle symbol on the radar represents your location during your PB (need to make a PB with this new version. The old PB are still compatible for the Predict / Potential best but don't contain the info needed for the ghost)
- Moving widgets with the mouse
1- switch to "edit mode" (red button)
2- select the widget to move (becomes "XX")
3- move the widget by holding down the right mouse button
4- release it at the desired place
5- quit edit mode / save the layout (current car or all)

Have fun...

Hello,
It seems that Insim doesn't send a packet at the 1st passage on the starting line of a hotlap (same for the 1st passage - at the start - during a race but less important).
How to detect the passage on the line to start the timer (for my Predict of Detect&Monitor) ? (if possible avoiding mci packet : info Node vs StartNode, because I stopped using them)

Hello,
Host checked, link ok now.

1.2.1.1 - 20221008
[New] Wait for LFS.exe instead of crashing (be careful, D&M remains invisible while waiting, I'll see later to make it better)
[Improved] Fuel OK for all types of vehicles
[Fix] Some widgets update not applied (Track / Car, Fuel, Ahead, Behind, etc.)

@3rdGear, I'm looking for workarounds but as mentioned in the 1st post, Windows 7 is not supported.
@johneysvk, I think it never worked!? (insim obviously doesn't provide any start info for the 1st hotlap lap! (Not cool and complicated but I'll see what I can do)

@3rdGear, are you on Windows 7 ?
