Might it be something with the 6H format race?

It doesn't seem to be related to the type of race (duration instead of number of laps). I suspect the "Michelin" mod that displays the race status (green / yellow).
Strangely, I didn't find it in the list of mods in my LFS!? If some people have information how works this kind of "object mods", I'm interested...

Is it possible to have a "command line" mode of viewer.exe (or another dedicated exe file) to generate an image of the car with skin.

For example:
c:\LFS\Viewer>viewer.exe -model XFG -skin GumKing2022 -view L -background blue
(-view = generated 2d view and -background to choose a colour, sky as in the viewer or transparent background)

To obtain this kind of views (in 4 separate files with -view = L / F / R or T and -background grey):

You're right, that was my first thought too because I don't think it was ever used in a race condition based on time and not a number of laps. I'll look into that.

Hello Ayoub,
Yes the Gums who were participating told me that too. I tried to make you something for the event but something else must be wrong, sorry. I'll have a look!

yep sorry, no change about win 7.

Does Monitor works with driver change situation, cause yesterday I tried to swap with my teammate and takeover the car but after nothing appear on the screen

Hello endurance drivers!

New release today:

Same Link as before (2nd post)
You can overwrite only the exe if you already have the application

1.2.2.3 - 20221111
[New] "Take over car" (relay) function implementation

Good relays to you !

Oups sorry, I forget it in the zip... It's now ok if you download it again.

it seems to be something wrong in your config file.
(no problem about python 3.11, the version needed by Detect&Monitor is embebded in the exe file).
Did it work with the previous version ? Did you not overwrite your config file ?

Hi all,

Here is a new small update.

1.2.2.2 - 20221109
[Fix] Car not deleted on radar when out of radar range

Same Link as before (2nd post)
You can overwrite only the exe if you already have the application

As mentioned on other posts, D&M is unfortunately not compatible with Windows 7.
(I had already looked into it but will check again if something is possible for python 3.10 / windows 7...)

Hello,
@justadroover, I found some information about this error but it would be easier with some additional information (Windows version at least).
@timdecnodder, the error is not normal (no error is normal), but I can strongly assume that it is because you are not using the latest version 0.7D of LFS.

@MitoLopez, is it with LFS version 0.7D !?

hello Ayoub2016,
I won't be surprised if it doesn't work because I've never done it. I will have a look how it works in insim and try to implement it (although not easy to test I guess)

Thank you for your answers and ideas.
The question was to validate that it was not possible in an official way.
So, I used a 3rd method = check current Node (I have it in memory) vs Start Node (I didn't find it in memory but I have it thanks to the RST package).

Small quick fix thanks to loopingz :

1.2.2.1 - 20221016
[Fix] Old predict incorrectly loaded

(zip updated in the usual link)

Hi all,

Here is a new version with (I think/hope) some new interesting features.

Same Link as before (2nd post)
You can overwrite only the exe if you already have the application

1.2.2.0 - 20221015
[Fix] Error moving widgets with keyboard arrows
[Fix] Some predict/potential best issues
[Improved] Predict available from the 1st lap
[New] Debug mode on the interface (not activated by default)
[New] "Low perf" mode (for really old computer !?)
[New] Possibility to move widgets with the mouse ('XX' then right click)
[New] PB ghost on "radar" mode

About the 2 main new features :
- PB ghost
Just click on "PB Ghost" on the interface. A blue circle symbol on the radar represents your location during your PB (need to make a PB with this new version. The old PB are still compatible for the Predict / Potential best but don't contain the info needed for the ghost)
- Moving widgets with the mouse
1- switch to "edit mode" (red button)
2- select the widget to move (becomes "XX")
3- move the widget by holding down the right mouse button
4- release it at the desired place
5- quit edit mode / save the layout (current car or all)

Have fun...

Hello,
It seems that Insim doesn't send a packet at the 1st passage on the starting line of a hotlap (same for the 1st passage - at the start - during a race but less important).
How to detect the passage on the line to start the timer (for my Predict of Detect&Monitor) ? (if possible avoiding mci packet : info Node vs StartNode, because I stopped using them)

Hello,
Host checked, link ok now.

1.2.1.1 - 20221008
[New] Wait for LFS.exe instead of crashing (be careful, D&M remains invisible while waiting, I'll see later to make it better)
[Improved] Fuel OK for all types of vehicles
[Fix] Some widgets update not applied (Track / Car, Fuel, Ahead, Behind, etc.)

@3rdGear, I'm looking for workarounds but as mentioned in the 1st post, Windows 7 is not supported.
@johneysvk, I think it never worked!? (insim obviously doesn't provide any start info for the 1st hotlap lap! (Not cool and complicated but I'll see what I can do)

@3rdGear, are you on Windows 7 ?

@3rdGear, I don't know this dll specifically but I will have a look tonight!
@loopingz, I will see what I can do. D&M is now based on memory reading so normal to crash if it is not launched (I will look into adding a wait loop).

Hello guys !

Last version updated in the usual link (post 2).

1.2.1.0 - 20221005
[Improved] Redesign of the connection system to LFS (insim), not so good before (based on my first insim tests)
[Improved] No more use of mci packets (info from all players in game), use of memory data => faster and less consuming
[Improved] Fuel related calculations
[Improved] Predict info (display, values, stability...)
[Improved] Ahead / Next accuracy
[Improved] Dedicated update rate per info
[Improved] Position adjustment of the square representing our car in "radar" mode
[Removed] Outgauge usage

(you can overwrite only the exe if you already have the application)
And enjoy it because even if it doesn't look like it will happen soon, Scawen's news about his current modifications (multi-threading) means that I'll have a hard time finding all this information in memory again...

Hello !
Thanks Mandula. I can't reproduce but indeed, the right file has been loaded so as you say, it's rather a widget update problem (loopingz told me the same problem, I have to reproduce...).
For the other problem, if combo ok + fuel ko, probably an insim restart (error, disconnection, etc.).
I try to stabilize a bit more with each release, I hope it will be soon enough.

Last version updated in the usual link (post 2).

1.2.0.8 - 20220913
[Fix] Engine damage and Clutch slip
[Fix] Some gauge sometimes disappear
[Fix] Ehead and Behind sometimes incorrectly reseted
[Improved] data recovery method (thread instead of insim triggering)

(you can overwrite only the exe if you already have the application)

Quote from WayBack :

how do you hide stuff like tyre thickness position, tried rightcliking and i think i tried everything and nothing is happening

As for the others:
1- [Edit Mode]
2- Click on the 1st info line (under the name), the value should change to red "XX"
3- Uncheck "Visible"
4- [Edit Mode] to exit the edit mode (+ save for this car if desired)

Quote from johneysvk :

Hi, a suggestion - the tyre thickness is a bit too much info from my point of view, especially since you can see it (and tyre temp) for other cars in multiplayer.

at the very least i suggest removing the ability to see other's data

You're right, it has been removed in the last version.
[Edit] precision: this information remains available but is only displayed for his own player
