Does someone here has experience with ACC and the relay? I want to get the telemetry from someone else, any Idea how I can do that? Just giving my IP and put it somewhere or what? Never used relay before so any help appreciated
With ACC the things depends bit what you want to do.
If you just want to collect data, then you can use just the UDP redirect.
If you have "flaky connection" or you might join later, below is the setup few of my users are using with ACC.
=====================
ACC Driver/Engineer setup for active engineering
In short, the driver uses the relay to send the SHMEM data to the engineer and the engineer uses ACC Broadcasting system to get the data for all drivers etc. from driver's ACC.
It is best to use some VPN tunneling software to make the connection between the driver and the engineer. Make sure the tunnel works. Here I assume the DRIVER_IP (driver's IP address in the vpn tunnel) and ENGINEER_IP (Engineer's IP address in the vpn tunnel) are known, i.e. the connection has been tested and it works.
### ON THE DRIVER SIDE ###
1) The driver should install the Telemetry tool and make sure, it works with ACC, i.e. there is e.g the driver names in the MAP.
2) Driver makes separate 'ACC relay' copy, e.g. by copying the acc_relay directory to acc_relay_to_engineer
3) Driver then copies the relay_settings.ini from %appdata%\ACC_SharedMemory_relay to the directory created in 2).
4) Driver edits the copied relay_settings.ini and sets the IP to be ENGINEER_IP in the VPN tunnel.
5) Driver creates a shortcut to the new acc_relay_to_engineer\ACC_SharedMemory_Relay_x64
### ON THE ENGINEER SIDE ###
1) Setup Telemetry Tool and make sure it works.
2) Get the ACC Broadcast settings (Port + Passwords) from the Driver Edit the 'ACC Settings' and set the values there + set as "Remote IP" the DRIVER_IP.
3) IF you do engineering for many drivers, you could create directories e.g. like C:\tt\joe, C:\tt\ben and then make a shortcut of the Telemetry Tool, which sets one of these directories as the 'working director'.
### PROCESS TO GET THE DATA GOING ###
1) Start the tunneling on both ends
2) The drivers starts the acc_relay_to_engineer
3) Driver start ACC
4) The Engineer starts the Telemetry Tool (You can press CTRL-M to see messages, which IP the Tool is using to request Broadcast connection).
==> If tunnel is up and correctly setup, the Engineer should see the data.

This way the driver will no collect their own data, but they could run Telemetry Tool on the side, as it would not interfere with the "driver-to-engineer" setup.
Cheers.
