pCARS Profiler (Telemetry & Analysis) [PC ONLY] [v1.6]

[R74NN]

Hello,

this is follow up thread from the original WMD forum. Here you can report bugs, ask questions or post suggestions.

Below is a download link and brief description how to use it with the game. There is no detailed manual at the moment, but since here are many Profiler experts from WMD, I believe we can do without it for now.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The latest version is available for download here.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Information:

• Requires .NET Framework 4.5 to run.
• Allows to create new file, save it and open later.
• Allows to connect live pCARS session and record data.
• Allows to analyze and compare laps.
• Allows to configure custom gauges and graphs.

How to use (with pCARS running and Shared Memory enabled):

• Run application and go to File -> New (Ctrl-N).
• Connect pCARS with Tools -> Connect (Ctrl-C or global Ctrl-Shift-C).
• Switch to game and start a session, once lap timer starts, recording starts as well.
• Run few laps and watch live data in the Profiler (live data are displayed in 30sec/1000m window).
• When you switch to Profiler, session is automatically paused and you can work with charts (zooming, scrolling with mouse/mouse wheel).
• If the session is not paused, some controls (lap panel and chart) are locked from interaction.
• You can set overlay laps for comparison.

How to enable Shared Memory in pCARS:

• Run game and navigate to [Options & Help].
• Click [Visuals] menu item.
• On the [Hardware] tab set [Use Shared Memory] to [Yes].

FAQ

• Q: What channels/values the application allows to display?
  A: These channels are currently available.
  
• Q: Where can I find inner and outer tire temperatures, ride height or anything else?
  A: See the answer above. If it is not listed there, it is most likely not available via API and will be added as soon as SMS make these values available.
  
• Q: Can I record or see other cars on the track?
  A: Nope, the Profiler records or displays only your car.
  
• Q: Can I change application theme somehow?
  A: The application currently uses only Dark theme, which cannot be changed.

KNOWN ISSUES

• Session sometimes gets split or records invalid laps.
  There are various causes for this, but the main problem being inconsistent state signalization by the game API.
  
• Application keeps recording while user is monitoring other cars.
  I'm investigating the issue.
  
• Application sometimes crashes when working with windows and layouts.
  Most of time the crash is caused by 3rd party components I'm using. For now don't get too wild with your layouts.

Have been using this for some time now, fantastic tool.

I would have gone so far as dizzying heights of including a thumbs-up smiley, but this board seems to be lacking in that regard

Just installed this yesterday and am absolutely loving it. The only negative is the recording of info while in the pits and viewing cars via the monitor. Other than that, great work!

Very good program!
Congratulations.

thank you

Wow nice tool!

Can I be cheeky as ask what other data channels are available other than the ones in the screenshot in the OP? For example, can you see tyre pressure, or inside and outside tyre temperatures?

These channels are currently available. Basically everything API currently provides is there (except some special channels). Tire pressure, inner and outer temps are not provided yet.

For some reason this doesn't work for me.

I have installed it correctly + got the .NET 4.5 update.

I open the profiler, click new and then I click connect.

When I open pCars and race it can't seem to connect to the profiler, it doesn't give any data.

Have you got shared memory on?
Go to: Options&Help -> Visuals -> Hardware -> Set "Use Shared Memory" to "Yes"
