I give you, Car Radar v1.6 - Rear Cut Off Distance

Adjust the red line with the new "REAR CUT OFF" setting to remove the clutter of cars behind you. Setting is defaulted to previous app behaviour so don't worry if you don't want this, just don't touch the setting.

Also included is hopefully a fix for the app crashing when the config file is empty/corrupted. I still don't know why it happens sometimes but the worst thing that happens in this rare occurrence is you lose your settings, rather than the app crashing.

Thanks to @Ripp_ for the great idea and inspiration to go back in to that crazy spaghetti code I wrote 6 years ago!
Oops, didn't update the version number!
@M1GHTY M4VS kindly supplied additional support for content manager
Finally including the VR fix, which comes with small performance increases.
Icons are not showing in Content Manager these days, I don't know why so I am not including them in this update (if you know why, let me know please!)
To delete the car radar icons go to \assettocorsa\content\gui\icons and remove carRadar_OFF.png and carRadar_ON.png and AC will show a default icon instead
Another problem related to config file fixed
App wouldn't work if no prior config file was found. Typo in config file creation function.
Ok racers, I have a new update for you!

Added features:
  • Proximity/Blind spot warning flags and customisation options
  • Background with colour and shape options
If anybody is struggling for fps, I recommend unticking the fps limiter in AC options, or at least give it 10 fps more for headroom.

V1.4

Little update allowing users to turn off fade when the cars going beyond defined range. "Smooth Fade" button toggles between fade and on/off.

Fixed a bug where your own car was being shown unnecessarily, big thanks to Baikal for his help on this!

Also, some minor optimisations (maybe), removed transparent cars that were being sent to render.

I moved the config folder to a place matching ACs template in the main installation folder so it is now, C:\Users\[YOUR NAME]\Documents\Assetto Corsa\apps\carRadar

You will need to redo your config values since I changed how Range worked, sorry!

Hope you enjoy, as always, any issues, just give me a message :)
Python you're killing me!

Thanks to all the brave souls who update on the day i release and help me fix it :)
now, with all the files you need!
Fixed a problem where blue flags were shown on first lap after a qualifying session. Thanks to Baikal for spotting that :)
Sorry to those having to redownload, hopefully I have sorted all the issues now! As always, let me know if you spot any problems please, testing on my own is difficult!

Cheers, Del
I present to you the blue flag update! Cars which you should be letting passed with the minimum of fuss will appear blue on the radar (if you so wish)
-I've tried testing this as much as I can, however, keep me posted if you notice anything untoward
-I know it doesn't work correctly if you join a race session half way through online - Can't figure out a way round this sorry

Cheers! Del

P.S App Icons in main download now :)
Woo!
Proximity mode colours your opponent's car the closer it gets to you, this warning indicator should allow for closer and safer racing. Mode is optional for all the purists out there.

This update also brings a new graphic option for those struggling for fps - Simple Mode! Rectangles will be drawn instead of full car shapes greatly reducing the number of triangles rendered by the interface, so hopefully you will see a boost in frames.

Other fixes
  • Fade now working correctly for distance and angle combined
  • Bridges don't cause car madness
  • Now ignores cars in pit if you aren't in there getting an oil change
Big thanks to Esotic for the bridge fix idea and for many inputs/ideas, cheers!

I hope you enjoy the new modes, Del/Blorg
Disabling fade on angle for the moment - sorry for double update, still in development!
If the app was working how you liked, you don't need this update
Added requested options
  • range, choose to display other cars closer/further
  • angle, can hide cars in front of you if you wish
..for the next update after this, i'll look at coloured indicators hopefully. Won't be for a couple of weeks though
App now shows correct car during replay
Removed grey box when waiting for cars to generate
Added more outline colours, this way you can hide the outline, if you wish, by matching it to the main colour
