DOCS ACC Shared Memory Documentation

Help please! Trying sample API project (using MVS 2019), but got errors:
ACCSM_Example.cpp
#include <windows.h>
#include <tchar.h>

targetver.h
#include <SDKDDKVer.h>

stdafx.h
#include <stdio.h>
#include <tchar.h>

The environment cant find these files. How to correctly open sample project with MVS 2019 ?

 

Maybe this will help somebody:
at Solution Explorer choose Retarget Solution. And everything will be automatically done.

 

Am I the only one who isn't having the flag variable in the graphics struct set anymore?
Just something I've noticed now.

 

I’m having the same/similar issue with the status. All I ever see is Live - unable to determine Off, Replay, etc.

 

What exactly do you mean with 'not having the flag variable'? The SDK hasn't been changed in a long time, so unless you removed it yourself I don't know why it would be 'gone'.

My game status is working fine. I use it to broadcast telemetry data to a backend and display it on a website, and that feature is working as it always was.

For both of you; make sure you cross-check your struct definitions against the latest document, as well as datatypes / size. Any small mistake can cause all other variables to become unusable.

 

I never said the word gone. Its not being set.
ACC_FLAG_TYPE flag for me is always zero.
I've caused a few pile ups to test.
In game is yellow, in the Shared Memory always set to 0. ACC_NO_FLAG.

 

I see, I misinterpreted 'not having' as 'gone' . I can do a quick test, but some variables indeed don't work. Although my Fanatec wheel is using the flag info for the flag LEDs so I'm pretty sure it should work...

 

I just checked my status is working too. You might have something else wrong?
Just had 1 for Replay no issues.

hmmmm what on earth is going on for me then

*edit* Now I misread don't work for do work

 

I do get flag updates, but I don't seem to get the YELLOW_FLAG (I'm standing still on track, and it shows YELLOW in the HUD):


Edit: My rim is also not showing the YELLOW_FLAG when standing still myself. It does however work when driving and entering a yellow sector. I think it only shows when YOU enter a yellow flag sector, not when you are in one already. Whether that is a bug or not I will leave out (since you're the one standing still it could be assumed it's obvious you're causing the yellow).

 

At least its not just me
Perhaps Fanaleds is its own separate protocol? IDK.
Also maybe that cool new display in the 2020 cockpits that shows the flag status and the sector of a yellow flag has somehow broken the yellow in shared memory?

Hopefully someone from Kunos notices this and it can be fixed in a patch.

 

ACC implements the Fanatec SDK, but I'm using Fanalab and for that you switch that plugin OFF. So the only thing it can be using is shared memory AFAIK. Anyhow I updated my post, yellow seems to only work when entering the yellow sector yourself, not when you're causing it.

Rather, I would like to have the flag monitor values as flag updates are only for current sector. It would be great to have a way to see all sector flags (like shown on the new monitor) in shared memory!

 

Nice work narrowing it down.
I would say its a bug because if there is yellow on the HUD it should be yellow in the status.

 

It might be something I'm doing sure enough, but my program recognised the LIVE status once I enter the cockpit but never changes again after that, even once I exit the sim entirely (back to desktop).

 

The value is updated for sure:


You'd have to share some code where you use/update/etc the value to give further help.

 

Oh man, tired eyes... it's entirely my fault - I was checking myStatus rather than mySimStatus

Apologies for the false alarm :embarrassed:

 

What is the chances of allowing float tyreWear[4] as shared entity in ACC?

 

Hello all,

maybe you have seen my thread "Simulator Controller...". Curently I am working on an AI based race engineer, which might handle pitstop settings fully automatically. A forward / backward chaining rule engine is already up and running and currently I am using the shared memory interface to populate the knowledgbase with all the data. And here comes my questions:

1. There are fields available in the documentation, which are missing in the "SharedFileOut.h" header file, for example brake disc and pad wear. Is the header file outdated there and how do I get an updated one?
2. Furthermore I am looking for additional values, for example regarding the current weather and the forecast trend for the next time. The information is there, as we all know, but not available in shared memory. Are there any plans to include these data as well?
3. Last but not least, it would be great to get access to the current setup data (especially base tyre pressures, tyre sets and compounds for the different strategies). I am able to get these by OCR scanning of the pitstop MFD, but this is a very CPU intensive process, which I hope to avoid.

Thanks a lot in advance

Oliver

 

I created opensource Java service to get data from ACC shared memory through REST API or websocket. It is based on version 1.6 of documentation. I'm working on some detailed fuel calculation right now. https://github.com/madmak2005/acc-manager-server

 

hello guys, im new to this and love to learn, but i want to ask, how can i get carID instead carModel from shared memory, cause i always get zero carID ?

 

Are you using Graphics>int playerCarID ?
