New: Support added for all DR 2.0 v1.41 Rally cars including 2000cc. Support added for Monaco and Germany Rally Events. RDA now renders on top of game windows so you can use Live Performance over windowed/borderless DiRT Rally (2.0). Planned: Support for RX is still planned, but donations would speed it up. Check Discord if you wish to help with collecting data for RX RDA support. Support for Windows 7 and 8 is still planned as well. Download Version 1.1 https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/racetrack-data-acquisition-rda.26829/ Hi all, my data logging tool that I should have released 2 months ago , has finally hit the shelves: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/racetrack-data-acquisition-rda.26829/ RDA Represents several weeks of full time software development which is released to you for free but with ability to donate if you find it useful and wish to support further enhancements. What is RDA? RDA is an application that can log telemetry from DiRT Rally (all stages/courses/vehicles) and DiRT Rally 2.0 (base release Cars/Stages and may work for DLC stages) to CSV, BIN, or MoTeC LD files. RDA also allows you to compare instantaneous and live Delta T and Delta V if you have already completed a stage/lap in the same vehicle. Your best stage/lap is saved on completion. Currently the live deltas are rendered only on a secondary monitor or beside the game windowed. Sample Videos ALL THE INFORMATION BELOW AND MORE IS AVAILABLE INSIDE THE PACKAGED PDF WHICH INCLUDES AN EULA Key Performance and Features RDA is very light weight; written in C++17 (importantly not Java or scripts) and does not utilize any extensive libraries such as boost, .NET, QT/wx and other UI libs to keep the data logging and loading performance impact completely negligible. You should not notice even a 0.1FPS drop when logging. In addition to using minimalist C++17, the application logs LD data to a temporary BIN file format instead of text/XML for ultimate performance and data safety in case of a system crash. (Recovering such data from BIN to LD currently can only be performed by the author “bn880” due to possible licensing issues.) Data and Frequency Precision RDA uses a comprehensive algorithm to save LD logs in maximum precision for all data channels without significant processing overhead. This is unlike any previous LD file data logger for other simulations. The frequency of the channels is also precisely calculated and saved based on an extrapolation algorithm and full passes of the collected data points. It is however crucial that you log at less than the full sim render FPS (about 80% or less of the FPS) or that your render FPS remains constant with Vsync if you want to have precise timing in logs. See PDF for more features... Quick Start / Installation Extract zip Extract the ZIP package into a folder where you have full privileges (read/write/full control), usually this simply means NOT in ProgramFiles (x86). Setup DiRT Rally UDP Set up DiRT Rally UDP output to your desired unique RDA port as per the How to set up DiRT Rally and DiRT Rally 2.0 UDP ports section. (inside PDF in package) Run RDA Run ./RDA/RaceTrack Data Acquisition.exe alongside your game to capture data logs and to view live Deltas once you complete a lap/stage once. (you can make yourself a shortcut to the exe for future use) Live Delta viewing is shown on the RDA main panel, and requires a secondary monitor or running the game in windowed mode with RDA visible on the same monitor. See Delta T and Delta V display. *** NOTE *** If you try to use RDA to log cars OR stages/tracks that are not supported no files will be generated, there will be no deltas shown, and you will need to restart RDA to resume logging. When data logging is working and live recording a stage/lap the Record button turns red. See Figure 6 RECORD and STOP (+SAVE) Button states. (inside PDF) You can find your logs with the File>Open Log Folder file menu entry. Install MoTeC i2 Pro v1.0.21.30 (not included in this package, you need to get it yourself) In MoTeC i2 Pro go to "File">"Project">"Open Project..." and open the supplied project: <RDA Install dir>\MoTeC Projects\DiRT Rally\Project.mtcprj Open Log File in MoTeC Pro You can now open your recorded LD log file in MoTeC. As of version 1.0 detailed GPS track maps (inner/drive/outer lines) are provided for Fourketa Kourva and Waldabstieg from DR. However you can generate these GPS maps in about 15-30 minutes with the correct procedure, and any stage you have driven will always be visible as a drive line with heading anyway. See Track / stage map generation procedure. Final Notes/Discord Enjoy, and remember to join Discord https://discord.gg/GKhwAcN if you have questions/comments/suggestions, and that you can Paypal bn880@hotmail.com if you wish to support further feature enhancements. (shameless plug) NOTICE: RDA will not work in Windows 7 or 8.1. This is due to Microsoft improperly describing their Universal Runtime to developers and omitting certain features from CRT for Win7. 16h of development would need to be funded by donations to cover conversion to C++13.

bn880 547 Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) NOTICE: RDA will not work in Windows 7 or 8.1 until further notice. This is due to Microsoft improperly describing their Universal Runtime to developers. Significant time will need to be invested to adjust the project to support 7/8.1 and I can not guarantee when I will do this. Though any donations may speed that up.

AadHofman 55 Posted September 3, 2019 It appears that VR implementation, after the update, blocks UDP output. SimHub doesn't work either. @PJTierney Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SimHub doesn't work either. @PJTierney For anyone else reading: This is because a new XML is created for VR in this folder Documents/My Games/Dirt Rally 2.0/hardwaresettings/hardware_settings_config_vr.xml (same as the other config) Which requires setting up the UDP output same as the regular XML.

mrjiffy6 3 Posted November 17, 2019 Thanks @bn880 for this great tool! I hope you are planning to release a new version that will support Finland! I have one question though, I am having a hard time in syncing MoTeC telemetry replay & saved video/audio replay. In one of the youtube videos you posted, you seem to achieve just that without any problem. Any tips? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In one of the youtube videos you posted, you seem to achieve just that without any problem. Any tips? Hi, if you mean importing the video into Motec itself, you can select "Show Video Controls" in MoTeC for the video stream (right click on the video window). Pause everything, press the little lock button to unlock sync options, and just zoom in on your data to detect when "Running Lap Time" starts to tick up, set the MoTeC cursor there. Then drag the video cursor as well to the time when your car started moving in the video. And press the Lock icon again on the video to lock them together. MoTeC can be a little buggy with video playback at times, and not all format display. If you mess around with it you will get it though.

mrjiffy6 3 Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) @bn880 Your really nice tool seems to have stopped working recently and I can't pinpoint the root cause of the problem. When beginning a stage, the Read/write counters starts but then stall at around 300 Read / 12 Write. I can see also that the telemetry is correctly output on the configured UDP port by using Wireshark. Perhaps a windows update caused this, can you confirm? Since telemetry is correctly sent to the configured UDP port and the tool starts to operate when beginning a stage, something tells me that somewhere the buffer stalls or the write fails somewhere... Tried also with a fresh install of your tool with the same results 😞 EDIT: the tool stopped recording telemetry on 2019-12-31, so it does not record anymore since 2020. That got me triggered. For fun I decided to change back the date back in 2019, and it worked. So it seems it does not like year 2020 somewhere for some reason. Can you do something about it please?

bn880 547 Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) @mrjiffy6 I can confirm , Y2.02k issue 😄 I will do something about it soon (possibly not today though), will just try to get one or two features in there. Edited January 5, 2020 by bn880 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrjiffy6 3 Posted January 4, 2020 Cool, thank you :) I also posted on the tool's racedepartment page for features. Having access to split times and be able to record / display them would be awesome, but unfortunately I don't see such a thing in the UDP packet format 😞 Therefore it would require to "hardcode" which kilometer corresponds to which split and this for every stage, which is not very convenient i reckon :s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
