Primary LanguageC++MIT LicenseMIT

Rough Idea Project Cars C++ Telemetry

Uses the UDP output to write telemetry for either Project Cars version 1 or version 2 telemetry to a set CSV files for each lap.

The CSV files include telemerty for the tyres, suspension, raceline, force, engine, weather and inputs.

Build and Install

  • For linux or mac
# mkdir build; cd build
# cmake ..
# make
# sudo make install
  • For Windows

This is what I did to build on windows (I'm no expert on windows)

  • Installed free version of visual studio
  • Installed vscode
  • Open the repo in vscode
  • Installed the C++ intelliSense from microsoft
  • Installed the CMake Tools plugin from microsoft
  • VSCode had a pop-up to configure to use CMake, I clicked yes
  • Then clicked the build button at the bottom of VSCode
  • This then built the executables in ./build/Debug

Run

Create a directory to store the csv files and run the pcarscsv exe, for example on linux or mac

# mkdir bathurst-p1
# cd bathurst-p1
# pcarscsv -v2

and for version 1 telemetry (default is version 2)

# pcarscsv -v1

I then use plotjuggler-3 to view the CSV files (https://github.com/facontidavide/PlotJuggler).
