Simsource: Setup Comparison Tool, Leaderboards, Server Results Viewer & Stats Tracker

UAC turned back on, and it work

 

Hi Cirith,

did you start the game from Steam or do you have a shortcut on your desktop? In the past some people reported the ACC process is not detected when they started the game from manually created shortcut.

 

Thanks a lot Tom, that was the solution !

 

Simsource Client 0.6.0 released.

• Fixed detection of invalid laps in Hotlap sessions after using "Return to garage" menu command.
• Improved detection of running ACC process. If you get an "Access denied" error, you have to run the client "as administrator". Either from shortcut context menu or configure shortcut properties to run it always as admin.

Download is available here.

 

Great! I just released a new version of the client with improved process detection. This version >could possibly< work even when using your shortcut to run the game outside the Steam client.

 

I just tried it with the shortcut and it seems to work, perfect ! Thanks again for your work.

 

Simsource Client 0.6.1 released.

• Minor fix to track temp reading.

Hi ! I use mainly the setup comparator and love it !

I think there could be a small improvement in the rendering that could be very helpfull. The point is to display big differences in a more saturated green/red and small differences with desaturated green/red.

We would have a gradient from very green -> light green -> gray -> light red -> very red.

This way we could easily identify if the setup is pretty equivalent or very different and where it differs the most. Actually, it's very binary and we have to read all the values despite knowing if they are lower or higher.

Another point could be to consider toe from zero and color in green the value that is the most far from zero (rather than the one that is bigger). In this case colors could be different to limit ambiguity (more negative or positive toe could be blue), and less (closer from 0) could be orange.

 

I like the idea. There is one problem though. To be able to consistently say if the difference is small or big I need to know exact range of the values for each setup attribute - which I don't know. And manually enter and maintain them for each car is not quite feasible long term.

 

Well there is one relatively simple solution : the setups contain the car name.

You could just save in a database the extreme values for each car/setup, and then use min and max as range .

Each setup upload would improve the accuracy of the extremes. Without data it would still be just "red and green". But the more data you have the more gradient you can have.

If you don't want to go with a database on server side, you can still use LocalStorage on browser side to provide that feature to people that use the most your tool. I could give a helpfull hand if needed

 

Another idea could be to have two display mods : the actual and an adaptative.

The adaptative would be smart and would contextualize on the car behavior (but on a basic way) : A stiffer setup would mean green and a softer value would be red. Different color code (blue/orange ?) could be nice to differentiate display mods.

For example, higher bump stop range, makes car more softer and an higher value would be orange/red. A bigger wheelrate makes the car stiffer and would be green/blue.

The consideration of the toe (where the 0 is the smallest value) could be managed as suggested in my earlier post in this adaptative mode.

Maybe some attributes are not elligible for an adaptative mode, and would just continue to display as actually.

As I've said earlier, I'm ready to contribute if needed.

 

Hi !

Since a couple of days, I've noticed that the client doesn't start with Windows. I checked in the task manager and on the client itself and it set to launch at boot so I don't know what's going on.

 

Can you try unticking the checkbox, restart the client and tick it again and see if after reboot it starts?

 

Yup, this worked, thank you !

 

New version is up.

I've implemented some of @XIV-V 's ideas. There is a new mode in Setup Diff tool - "Stiffness", which highlights relevant values in different color scheme - yellow (softer) and blue (stiffer).

 

Its possible to show the driver class of the driver (PRO, SILVER AM) on the Results?

quick example what i mean:

Last time I checked, the result file didn't provide information about driver class.

 

Does the cupCategory provide information about the driver class? For me it sounds like the driver class

It's per car (not for individual drivers), so it means GT3/GT4/Cup/ST, I'd say.
