    v4.13.1.6 Jim says fuel till the end but the chat macro never makes it into iRacing

    I've reported about this same issue in the past, since then I've got a new computer brand new intallation of Win10, crewchief, iracing, etc... the works, yet still it fails to autofuel even tho the sound and logs show that it's trying to.

    Logs:
    12:59:07.573 : Fuel use per minute: windowed calc=1.708, max per lap calc=1.774 fuel left(liters)=3.534
    12:59:07.581 : Playing sounds, events: mandatory_pit_stops/watch_your_pit_speed
    12:59:07.581 : (mandatory_pit_stops/watch_your_pit_speed)
    12:59:08.870 : There are 1 more events in the queue, playing them...
    12:59:08.870 : Playing sounds, events: COMPOUND_mandatory_pit_stops/pit_speed_limit
    12:59:08.870 : (mandatory_pit_stops/pit_speed_limit, numbers/72, frozen_order/kilometres_per_hour)
    12:59:09.858 : Unable to get pitstop prediction - no pitstop time loss data available
    12:59:09.861 : Use per minute = 1.8 estimated minutes to go (including final lap) = 24.0 current fuel = 3.5 additional fuel needed = 41.3
    12:59:09.862 : Auto refuel to the end of the race, adding 42 liters of fuel
    12:59:11.980 : Playing sounds, events: acknowledge/fuel_to_end
    12:59:11.980 : (acknowledge/fuel_to_end)
    12:59:11.980 : Taking a breath
    12:59:25.914 : Laps completed = 11
    12:59:25.914 : Time elapsed = 29:12.050 (1752.050)
    What can I do to further debug this?

    FWIW: I'm using the iRacing Beta UI in addition to Sim Commander 4 (AccuForce), Trading Paints, VRS telemetry

    Thanks!

    Its a problem with iRacing UI, and the problem needs to be reported to iracing as we cant fix it, also simcommander can cause issues if you use that to launch UI as it supposably launches UI with elevated permissions causing external apps being unable to send commands to iracing. also on first launch after an update to iracing, iracing UI it self can launch with elevated rights causing same issue. When this happens VRS will also be unable to start and stop telemetry recordings.

    VRS help also have some info on this https://virtualracingschool.appspot....roubleshooting

    Thank you so much, this must have been the problem all along. I did have issues with VRS in the past and enabled telemetry from the .ini file to work around it. Sim Commander does bootstrap the Beta UI and often times it's the first thing I start. But when I launch the Beta UI independently CC's chat macros workfine again, I've validated both ways of launching and confirmed auto refuel only works when starting Beta UI independently.

    Suggestion: if there is a way for CC to detect this case, a note in the logs would make it easy to self-service.
