ACC Race Control v1.5.7

Changes:

• Add support for GT2 dlc cars (Audi, KTM, Maserati, Mercedes, Porsche 911, Porsche 935)

Bug fixes:

• Disable yellow flag detection. With version 1.10 and upwards of the game the broadcasting api has changed a little but
  which means that the yellow flag detection does not work correctly and would show every caras causing a yellow flag.Until this change in the api is reverted or a workaround has been found the yellow flag detection will remain disabled.

Bug fixes:

• Avoid a crash when using Acc RaceControl on the Nordschleife.
• There is currently a bug with the game which means that some features do not work correctly on the Nordschleife. These features are unlikely to be fixed unless Kunos fixes the bug in the game. Using RaceControl on other tracks behaves like normal. A non exhaustive list of incorrectly working features:
  • changing hud pages
  • changing to tv/helicopter camera
  • gap calculation
  • advanced collision detection for endurance races.
• Fixed a bug where third sector times will be identical to First Sector times for all cars (Fixed by Github@NoComment1105).

# v1.5.5

Bug fixes:

• Fix a bug where cars would disconnect continously after a while.

Changes:

• Add support for the Mclaren 720S GT3 Evo.

Bug fixes:

• Correctly display the places lost / gained.
• Correctly display the drivers table in the live timing table.
• Fix a potential crash in the accident detection algorithm.

Changes:

• Add an experimental features auto cam to automatically control the broadcasting camera. To enable the auto cam, check the "enable experimental features" checkbox on the settings page. It is an experimental features which means that it is not finished and more work is necessary.
  However it is already quite usable to create a dynamic broadcast without the attention of a human broadcaster. This is particularly usefull for long endurance races where a broadcaster is on a break.
• The auto cam will:
• share roughly equal screen time between drivers
• prioritise leading cars over backmarkers
• prioritise battles between two or more drivers

Bug fixes:

• Fixed an issue where disconnecting and reconnecting would crash the program.

Changes:

• Add support for version 1.9.
• Add car information for new cars.
• Add track information for Valencia Ricardo Tormo.

Changes:

• Verified ACC Race Control with google api's.
• Race Control now comes with a default API key that has been verified by Google, which means it is no longer necessary to generate you own. The option to use a custom api key is still there, if there are every problem with the default key.
• Added the option to automatically detect the connection settings from the configuration file.
• Added a relative mode to the live timing which shows cars relative to each other.
• Added support for the American track Pack DLC.

Changes:

• Added support for the Challengers pack DLC.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug where the program would crash because an image could not be loaded.

Changes:

• Added animation to the UI.
• Added an advanced collision detection system to increase the reliability of reported collision for long endurance events.
  • Contacts will now always show at least two cars for every contact.
  • During long endurance events, the collision detection from the game gets continuously worse. This causes Race Control to miss some contacts. A system was added to help mitigate this. Contacts detected by this system are marked as "Possible contact".
• Added a yellow flag system and shows yellow flags in the live timing table.
• Show the current fastest lap holder as purple.
• Adjust rendering of car classes in the car number field.
• Add the constructor logo to the live timing table.
• Add command password to login. Loggin in without the correct command password puts Race Control into read only mode. In read only mode Race Control cannot control the game and can only read data.
• Rework the Google sheets API integration.
  • Improved the accuracy of the replay time in the google spreadsheet.
  • The entry list is now sorted based on car number.
  • Cars that have spun and caused a yellow flag after a contact will now be suffixed with "Spin" after the lap count.
  • Possible contacts, detected by the advanced collision detection, will be marked with the word "possible" in the cars column.
  • Race Control will now search all sheets of a spreadsheet to find a suitable targets.
• Improve logging to make it easier to find bugs.

Bug fixes:

• Detaching a page now correctly renders it.
• The live timing table will now correctly switch to "Race" when the session changes.

Changes:
