Hi
First I want to thank all those involved with getting Crew Chief working with GTR2. For the last couple days I've been testing out different things and boy it's great to have someone come over the radio and talk to me about the race or my cars status then give me a pat on the back when I make a good pass. NICELY DONE.
Now for some questions regarding GTR2. I'm going to apologize in advance just incase any of my questions come off as putting down your effort in getting Crew Chief working with GTR2. At times I find it hard to put into written words what I want to ask and they may come off as sounding ungrateful. That is not the case.
1. Is there a list of what data GTR2 is capable of sending to the Crew Chief app ? I have a few commands currently set like car status, gap ahead, my position but thought if there was a list I could not only save some time testing each command but also be able to take full advantage of Crew Chief. I think if Crew Chief Jim tells me one more time "no data" it'll be Sweary Pete that tells him off :)
2. I take it that Crew Chief turns off or rather turns down the Speech audio to zero to prevent any issues with having both it and the original GTR2 crew chief talking at the same time. I was surprised the first time I called for a pit stop and I didn't hear the little bleep followed by "pit in next lap". It took a bit before finally hearing Jim tell me to pit.
3. With not having VR (can't due to a medical issue, sigh) is there a Command Line parameter or option to have Crew Chief not install the 2 VR needed DLL files in GTR2's root folder. I've been testing the GID hud which puts it's own d3d9.dll into the root folder and Crew Chief asks to place it's 2 there, overwriting the GID version. I've just been clicking on the Cancel button so no real issue but thought I might have missed some setting.
4. Now I don't think this is directly related to Crew Chief, but you may have some insight on the issues. I have the disc version of GTR2 and I'm using the Patched Steam GTR2.exe and files that are included with the most recent HQ mod and came across a few things. The pit limiter doesn't automatically turn off once you cross the pit exit. It did before in both Novice and Semi-Pro. Switching to the AI driver on track and at speed results in the car slowing down instantly to pit road speed. Caused quite the crash when I done that, LOL. Finally I noticed that none of the Series_Icon.TGA images are shown in the menu. Now these are not game breakers for me but I'm just curious. I'm also running Win7 SP1 64bit.
Thanks fellas
