ACC Results Companion

Hi
This is a great piece of software you have written, no idea why something like this isn't included in ACC already. Anyway, it's been working fine however i got the Unknown Car issue today a fix session workaround doesn't work.

I've attached the Diagnostics. I;ve just realized I'm running an older version maybe its been fixed already.

Im running v1.5.13. It was a SP practice session, do practice sessions need to be completed early?

Thanks again,

 

Hi @Retrofly
You definitely need to upgrade. ACC V1.3.13 made changes to the Broadcast API which means that ACC Results Companion V1.5.13 and earlier no longer work. The lastest version can be found at https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/acc-results-companion.28298/download
Cheers,
Doug

 

Hi
Same issue again, only a Nurburgring practice session, seems SP practice is the only time I have issues.

Same again, practice session, but using v.1.5.15

Thanks

 

Hi @Retrofly ,
I can't see why this is happening at the moment and can't reproduce it. Can you turn on Log broadcast activity, and run more practice sessions and send me the diagnostics after you hit the problem. That should give me a bit more information

 

No problem, I notice hotlap sessions seem to be fine btw.

 

ACC Results Companion V1.5.16 Released - https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/acc-results-companion.28298/

Main headline is the app has been rebuilt for ACC V1.4 (prior versions may no longer work), but a handful of smaller features/bugfixes

 

ACC Results Companion V1.6.0 Released (https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/acc-results-companion.28298/)


V1.6.0 has been released which is a major re-write of the UI. The app was originally just store lap records and and grown (not in a good way) since then, tacking on extra features here and there. As a result, the code had become unmanageable. This represents a major re-factoring of the code to properly partition features, reduce repeated code and make the controls on the pages work in a consistent manner. There's no huge change to the appearance and most things should work in the same way.


Other news is some adjustment to the broadcast interface, which is causing constant problems

• 2nd practice sessions always failed to record as the interface always burped out the last lap of the previous session ocnfusing the recording of results
• Each session requires a new broadcast session. Each connection was slower and slower as the provided interface in the ACC sample didn't clean up properly (thank export for spotting this). Hopefully, this is now improved
• If there are still cases of Broadcast connections not being made (the common symptom is the "Unknown car" issue), then I've defaulted debug/broadcast logging on, so at least I can capture what is going on.

As all the UI features have been re-written, there may be some things I've missed or that don't work properly yet. If you find any oddities, please let me know

 

I have an issue with the fuel calculator not recognizing all sessions/laps.
If I recall correctly this started with V1.5.16

Have a look at the screenshots and if you need some other data, please let me know.

 

Hi Andy,
Yes - I'm aware of it. Since I refactored the fuel tab, it isn't picking up the event to tell it to recalculate fuel. I'm currently looking at a solution. The next update will re-initialise the fuel stats so will correct all the data

 

Hello

thanks for your work on this so much. This capability should be built in-game but oh well. I am thinking of donate actually.

Anyway I wanted to share my thoughts on improvement (mostly UI stuff)
- add scrollbars! Its a pain to scroll through all the laps and sessions in Session or Car/Track history tabs with a mouse wheel
- speaking of scrolling I can't scroll to the bottom of Car/Track history, it stops but I know and can slightly see more lines below, see attached picture
- the divide in Session between the table of sessions and the table of laps should be movable (I'd like to see more sessions at once when I use a vertically tall monitor)
- actually it seems like the tables as UI elements are not sitting properly in the window, its like they have some crazy size going to horizontal and vertical infinity. They should scale with the window limits. This could actually fix the scrollbar issue, if scrollbars are allowed. Maybe they don't show because the table is big enough, it just goes outside the window so the user can't see it. See attached picture.
- the car and track pictures don't fit the frame they sit in, see attached picture
- in Car/Track history, I think it would be cool to be able to filter out invalid laps or formation laps

As someone who dabbled a bit in UI development these should not be too hard to fix

Thanks again!

 

Weird - all the scaling things you mention (scrollbars, scale to window and image sizes) should already be there



What resolution are you running at? I'll see if I can replicate.

 

Thanks for such a quick response.

My main monitor is 1920x1080, side screen is 1600x1200.
After a bit of troubleshooting I found the cause. Turns out its because I use custom display scaling of 105%. At 100% stuff feels too small and at 125% its too big (and in the case of your app also very blurry) so I correct it in Windows display settings. This is the first time I've ever seen any app being affected by this.

Any chance this might be fixed or is it a property of your GUI library?

Thanks again

 

OK - I see - it is only an issue at custom scaling, but looks to be fine at standard scaling. I've got some custom controls in there - I'll play around with the autoscale options - they currently use the default

EDIT: I've improved the scaling with the next release (currently in test). It works seamlessly with standard scaling (100%, 125%, 150% etc), but for custom scaling so things are going to look a bit wonky and mis-aligned (Windows switches from the app font to a generic scalable font which is going to mess up the alignment for various things). If I have the energy at some point in the future, I might look at moving to a fully scalable font and reworking the alignments

BTW - the splitter between session and laps will be in the next release

 

ACC Results Companion V1.6.1 Released (https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/acc-results-companion.28298/)

A minor update is available. Main headlines are:

Fuel calculations
These probably haven't been collecting stats for a couple of releases now. The events to pick up new fuel calculations have been moved to a more appropriate place and I've addressed the issue of missing certain sessions (it completely passed me by that track codes are now mixed case). The auto fuel calculation will update now when you move to the fuel tab or when you complete a lap.

On first run, the fuel estimates will be re-calculated from history, so it may took a few extra moments to start.

Hotstint times
The session duration is now calculated from the time of the first car to cross the start line. This means that hotstint times should now be correct (unless you incur panalties, which still aren't available)

Session/Lap split container
Sessions/laps are now in a split container so they can be resized relative to each other. Move the mouse until the cursor changes to the resize one, and drag to your desired size






Desktop/scaling improved
The app isn't really designed for desktop scaling. It works with the standard Windows scalings (100%, 125%, 150%), mainly because Windows just scales up the image. This has the result that it will start to appear blurry if scaled too much. For custom scaling, a few things have been fixed so the UI is still workable and lists don't disappear beyond the bounds of the form. However, because the fonts are changed by Windows, these means that the alignments of some of the controls are off and it may look a little odd

 

Great stuff. Its not perfect with the custom scaling but still much better and very usable. I appreciate the divider too. Thanks again!

I wanted to donate a few quid to you on Paypal but the moment I change the country selector to my country (CZ) it returns me back to home page. I'll see what I can do...

 

Hi !

Since a week I have this message when I try to launch the app. I tried reinstalling the V1.6.1 it didn't change anything.


Thanks again for the app btw, it's such a great tool !

 

In your ACC Results folder (will be something like C:\Users\[your user name]\Documents\ACCResults or under whereever you have My Documents pointing to), can you attach the files ACCResults.log and ACCResultsSettings.json and then I should be able to see where the error is coming from)

 

Yup, there you go ! Thanks for the quick reply

 

It looks like your settings file is corrupt - I can see an issue occurred on 24th May.

Delete the file ACCResultsSettings.json. It will create a new one with default settings (so you'll have to put back in any changes to colours etc) but hopefully it should start

Let me know how it goes

 

That worked, thanks a lot !
