Enabling/Disabling Lap Times |
|
|
During a race, you can tell the
spotter to give you lap times for the leader, the car ahead of you (in
position), and the car behind you in addition to your own lap times. To
toggle these options on and off, you need to map the "EXT" commands in your
settings. Setup the following four commands (use any available keys):
When you toggle any of these options on or off, the spotter will say "10-4".
|
Using the pit box countdown |
|
|
The spotter needs to know where your
pit stall is. In order to teach him, you need to make a pit stop or enter a
command when on pit road. When you stop in your box, the spotter will say
"10-4" to indicate that he will remember your pit stall location. You can
set and clear the pit stall "memory" manually by using a key assigned to EXT
Select. Issuing the command when on pit road (you don't have to be stopped)
will memorize the location and the spotter will say "10-4". Issuing the
command while on the track or in the monitor will clear the memory and the
spotter will say "copy that". |
Using "tires remaining" |
|
|
If you are participating in a race
that limits the number of sets of tires you may use, the spotter can remind
you how many sets you have left when you request a pit stop. Use
CTRL+SHIFT+# where # is the number of sets of tires you are permitted to
enable this feature. Use CTRL+SHIFT+0 to disable. This command
will only work when you are parked or in the garage. You may also
manually configure the number of sets of tires permitted by changing
'Permitted Sets of Tires' in ASRXSoundsPlugin.ini. |
Using batch files to clear
penalties |
|
|
Change 'Build Batch
Files=1' in ASRXSoundsPlugin.ini to enable this feature. When a race
session starts, the spotter plugin builds four files containing commands to
clear penalties for every driver in the session. You will hear the spotter
say "Copy that" to know that the files have been built.
Stop/Go: clearsg.txt
Drive-Thru: cleardt.txt
Longest Line: clearll.txt
All Penalties: clearall.txt
Anytime you need to clear penalties for everyone, use '/batch [filename]'.
So, to clear all Stop/Go penalties, use '/batch clearsg.txt'. Putting this
command in a quick-chat key is the easiest way to use it quickly. |

Known Limitations |
|
|
Plugin limitations
- The "Go Go Go" instruction when leaving your pit stall does not fire until
the car rolls forward ever so slightly. If you are applying the throttle,
you won't experience a delay.
- The repair chatter is still played when you turn off repairs
Sim limitations:
- The spotter does not always call you clear and may call you clear without
having noted that a car was beside you. |
