AC FWD vs RWD: Abarth500/Swift/MX5@Zolder67, Wed 28th February 2024

[HF2000]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

At request Helicorsa is now a mandatory app to have installed on your computer for better situational awareness. If not you will get a checksum error.

The voting of Track of the Month resulted in a tie of Road America and Zolder.
In that case the host decides. So it is Zolder, Belgium because we've not been there with these cars. We using the 1967 layout.

Uf, I have helicorsa installed however never have worked for me, same that car radar.
If any software expert could help I will really appreciate otherwise I as m afraid I will not be alowed to race.

I have all apps active and on-screen, but in the heat of the moment, my human brain is not able to a) notice all things happening at once all the time and b) let alone react in the best possible way all the time. It’s one of the hardest things in real/sim racing. For me personally, I’m training for that a lot, and even then I have blind spots. So, I totally understand the need for these apps (most of the time they work for me), but they are no guarantee for fool proof racing I guess.

We can look into that Jose, first let’s see what happens on the practice server. You’ll be racing my friend, no worries

If you have installed it, you should see this in the onboard menu:

Then when you click on the Helicorsa icon, a small window will appear in the upper left corner of your screen.

It might disappear quickly but it's still there.
When you hover with your mouse the pin will appear.

Now if you click on it, you can drag it to the center of your screen (or else where you want it). Then you're done but you will not see anything anymore until there are cars close. You can easily test it with AI cars. Unlike other apps, the Helicorsa window isn't visible by default.

This invisibility thing could be the problem.

If you have found it drag it over your cars instruments, then you´ll see it light up in your central vision when you need it.

I've placed it in the middle of the screen so in the car windshield above the instruments.

I won't join this as my vote for Road America have been hijacked in favour of Zolder.



...just kidding. F1 is starting and I'll be racing in the Q1 F3 championship and as I just have time for one race a week, I'll be back only when the F1 calendar will have a pause for a week. This at least until the end of Q1, then I'll decide if I'll keep racing in the F3 and jumping back and forth or if I'll return back to the multiclass for good.

See you on track soon!

I usually don´t confirm the workings of democracy ( especially when Han had his paws in the decision ) but Zolder67 is a completely different beast than the modern one.
(I might even start to like it )

BUT, once again our dear Han has cocked up the car choice , which of course is an easy fix.
My pleasure:

Same here, it´s quite flashy at starts but other wise easy to see ur surroundings.

Hi all:

I have been able to practice even when I can not use car radar.
The issue is:

I can see the car radar aplication in CM / settings / Asseto Corsa / Phyton aplication and is ticked but it does not apear on the rigth lateral bar so I can not activate it when racing. well it never has been activated.

Jose, I think you need to go to the next menu (below the Python App)
CM/Assetto Corsa/App Windows and tick the corresponding boxes on the right of the screen.
The Helicorsa App (and others) will appear next time you start up CM but will be at the bottom of the menu in game , just drag it up where you can see it.

 

[JOSEJ]

Hi Paul, thank you for your help but Car Radar does not appear in that list.
It is strange beacuse there are also other aplications like Map display that does not appear neither even when they are thicked

So you see this in CM:

And this?

 

[stigs2cousin]

Damn,

I was literally about to post the same screen shots

 

[JOSEJ]

It is here...

But does not appear here, neither in the lateral one when driving

 

[HF2000]

But not in the onboard menu like in my 2nd screenshot?

 

[JOSEJ]

Hi Han.

No, no on the onboard menu, I Think is because it does not appear in the menu of the second picture, as car radar or map disply, wich also not appear on the onboard menu

 

[stigs2cousin]

Have you turned it off and one again?

(SCNR, Veery old support joke )

What happens if you uninstall Car Radar and install Heli Corsa?
