rFactor Internals Plugin information

stephenjlord

Good Afternoon,

I am in the process of writing an application that displays live telemetry in a similar format to McLaren ATLAS and Motec i2 1.1.0.291 (brand new version, not currently released to the public).

I am having trouble extracting all the data I would like from the game which other rFactor applications such as rFactor Monitor seem to have.

The data below does not seem to be outlined in the example plugin or the read me.

Sector 1 Time
Sector 2 Time
Sector 3 Time
Lap Distance (mPos?)

Also, can the DRS state be acquired from the game to show when the DRS is activated or not?

Does anyone know if Sim-Tools SimAdapter available to use for by 3rd party applications and if so is there any documentation regarding how to use it?
I have searched but cannot find anything and the website appears to be long gone.
I have written an application that does a similar job but if this one can be used it will save a lot of time.

Thank you very much for any help.

Kind Regards
Stephen
 
First things first: are you asking about rFactor1 or rFactor2? You're in the rF1 section, but you mention DRS which isn't included in the game itself.
 
Good Morning,

Thank you for your reply.

We are running rFactor 1 Pro.
There is a DRS function assignable in the controller setup however it only provides a speed boost rather than an aero shift so we are moving away from using that and implementing use of the rF_HighVoltage plugin which Achim from SimSync is kindly helping us with. This does output the DRS state so that question no longer applies.
Mario Morais who wrote SimVBNet app for rFactor has sent me the SimAdapter framework which I am currently using to write a client program.
I can now get sector times, etc from SimAdapter however it does not seem to output the steering angle which is very important.
For lap distance I think I am going to have to calculate it using the lap average speed and lap time which can be calculated on the fly about every quarter of a second so it should provide a suitable live lap distance output.
Have you any experience using SimAdapter?
My software appears to connect to the server OK however as soon as rFactor is started it crashes the client with a InvokeException.
SimMonitor appears to work OK so it must be something I've not declared or initialized in the client.
I would ask Christian Buttgen who wrote SimAdapter however he told me he is not longer supporting it.

Thank you for your help.

Kind Regards
Stephen
