Replicating a vintage "chalkboard" style crew chief message.

[Gollum]

I'll save the backstory unless someone wants details, but I have interest in having something like Crew Chief, or a way to implement it, that replicates the pre-radio era experience of crew chief messages.

Does anyone have any idea of how to best implement a text-only approach for crew chief that only gives critical updates? In the 1960's they weren't getting info on tire temps, but certainly things as it relates to pit strategy, such as "pit in 2 laps". Even something as simple as "time +/-" from next car or leader would be cool.

I properties enable shared memory and subtitle overlay, then turn down the audio volume on CC, then you can delete the sounds from the sound folder(make a copy and edit "default soundpack loacation in properties") you dont see as critical, that should give you a text based version of the app.

If I knew anything about it I might suggest that the Crew Chief SDK is what you need but the only reference I can find is this:

Crew Chief SDK/Shared Memory----------------------------
Crew Chief now exposes some of its internals via Shared Memory block. Currently, subtitle information is exposed, but we might be adding more data in the future. See https://gitlab.com/mr_belowski/CrewChiefV4/-/blob/master/CrewChiefV4SDK/CrewChiefV4SDK/Program.cs to get started.
