Telemetry plugin

[Nasos Charalampou]

While reading the rules i saw that telemetry plugins arent approved cause of the problems they cause.

Is this the case for TrackMap plugin also?

 

[Rob Berry]

A number of us are using the TrackMap plugin with no issues.

I actually tested this during LeMans - it did not cause any issues - however we dont encourage the use of plugins.
Dont blame us if a swap goes sour because of this

 

[Tomas Beha]

Now we are on that subject, let me again say that you CANNOT trust the EngineWear as it is unreadable data in rf2. And before people go "uhh and ahh, yes you can", let me point to the .PDF Manual, Page 13

If your engine dies, you abused it - it's NOT a bug.

 

[Nasos Charalampou]

Thanks for the replies and info guys.

@Tomas:i mainly wanted this plugin for the tyre info,thanks for the clarification though.

 

[Jimmi Allison]

Tyre info works well in % - but kinda like the same you see in the original hud.

A lot of plugins don't work with driver swaps. At my usual league, we saw a lot of issues in out last endurance race which didn;t effect the hotswaps, but the hotswaps did stop most of the plugins from working. I had my data acquition plugin installed, but not logging/activated during the race and my team had no issues with hotswaps (and I hotswapped 4 times in 2 separate cars during the 6-hour race)

With the switch to rf2 I haven't heard any reports about plugins. I used track map and motec plugin.
However unless you are testing a car I don't see the need to run any motec during a race.

 

[Ryan Walker]

Ran the trackmap plugin during the race and never had any problems when it came to driver swaps. Will probably remove it for Malaysia though with it being a 12 hour race just to be safe.

Jimmi,
How is the best mode to turn off MOTEC plugin before the race?
Any parameter in .ini file or smply delete this?

 

[Jimmi Allison]

ctrl m iirc
Im at work now, so if anyone remember. But i do recall that this would simply turn it on/off.

Any link for MoTeC plugin and a good project with it? i used to work with motec to prepare race on Rf1 but don't find a good one for Rf2

 

[Oliver Szabó]

I got the MoTeC Tool of this link. http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Kinsman MoTeC Telemetry Plugin

 

[Jerry Mccomas]

I use trackmap all the time and have never had a problem that I could blame on it.

However, there is an rF2 spotter plugin that is a good addition, BUT, when I used it and pitted to do a driver swap, the swap worked but my rF2 crashed ... so I don't use that in endurance races.

The trackmap plugin makes my install respond a bit slower. When starting up it shows a white screen for 1-2 seconds. I´ve uninstalled it

 

[Stephen Miller]

Which part of the install are you seeing the white screen?, The game install itself, or the loading of the car from the garage to track?

 

[Jimmi Allison]

When i start the game from the launcher, rf2 just hangs for a bit. Enough to annoy me and uninstall it
