You update this more often that my wife updates her cement mix ( makeup ).
Great job.

Hi,
Just wanted to upload a screenshot but I saw you already updated your resource. When I open the .ini file it shows; number of cars = 4. However when I use the app it displays a lot more cars than 4. My ideal setup would be to have at max 2 cars displayed.

the one in front of you (red)
the one behind you (green)
(or whatever color the user prefers...)

* This way you can make these two numbers really big and still leave enough view
space. Even the driver names could be left out.

All other information is not practical in a race were you have to react quick and keep your eyes on the track as much as possible. Later on after the race you could load in more cars by editing the .ini file and examine more precisely what your opponents did.

So basically the 4 cars given in the .ini file are close to perfect for me however it displays way more cars than that which fills up unwanted space.

Having said that I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this app and it works great.

Hi.

On the overview text I explain that the number of cars are the number at the top and bottom of the driver, so to match what you are looking for, a value of 1 will be OK. The information may not be practical to you, but could come handy for someone else. I have raced on sims like rFactor and iRacing, where a similar panel exists, so I am very familiar with its usage.[edit]I think I may sound kind of arrogant on the above paragraph, was not my intention[/edit]

Unfortuntalely, this application, as many others, will not work on replay, for review or post race analysis, as the information that the app relays on does not exists.

Thanks for your comments. It has been fun, but also very challenging, and at some times, frustrating, to develop this little app.

Cheers

I am getting no colors at all. It's all white except my nick which is yellow. No matter which colors' code I put into those lines.

 

[Fernando Deutsch]

Could have something to do with the opacity you set? I just copied your color codes and worked for me.

OK. Will try to lower opacity and will report you...

Tried to change opacity, font, number of cars shown and still won't work...

 

[Fernando Deutsch]

Mhh, it seems is not reading the configuration file. Which config file are you modifying? Where is it located? What is the directory path of your AC directory?

I modified the one in the config file. It's located under D:/Games/Steam/SteamApps/Common/AssettoCorsa/Apps/Python/feritoLiveTracker/config

 

[Vojko Music]

Btw...it reads changes like font size and opacity...but it doesn't affect on the color of the font. Simply it's always white except my nick which is yelow as I said...

Thanks for the update.
On testing this update I found that the No1 driver's name does not show on the list after the first lap.
Is this normal?
I cannot remember whether that was the case in previous versions.

I really like the app Fernando. One thing I was wondering: is it possible to make the AC logo and app name disappear like on the built in apps?

 

[Andrey Varlamov]

is it possible to make the AC logo and app name disappear like on the built in apps?

This code works for me:

ac.setTitle(appWindow, "")
ac.setIconPosition(appWindow, 0, -9000)

 

[Fast Furman]

Thank u for this will try it out

 

[Andrew Macpherson]

This code works for me:

ac.setTitle(appWindow, "")
ac.setIconPosition(appWindow, 0, -9000)

Where do you put it?

 

[Andrey Varlamov]

Where do you put it?

Line 527:

        ac.setSize(appWindow, appWidth, appHeight)
        ac.setTitle(appWindow, "")
        ac.setIconPosition(appWindow, 0, -9000)
        ac.setBackgroundOpacity(appWindow, configuration.windowOpacity)

 

[Andrew Macpherson]

Hmm, for me adding either line causes the app to not show up in AC (not even in the list on the side). Thanks anyway, I'm not going to worry about it. Maybe Fernando will get a chance to have a look for the next update.
