Command line tool for converting Project Cars Version 1 and 2 UDP Telemetry Packets into CSV files.

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).

rough_idea_project_cars_cpp's Issues

Make pcarscsv terminal output more verbose

Can the output from the pcarscsv, show when the application is connected to the PCars telemetry and also show when files have been written?

Add lap time to message output

Add something like this, not sure on the timestamp output yet.

Record lap: 2 Time: 1:38.002 

Having trouble building, installing or running?

Let me know if you need any help? (I may not answer straight away because I have a day job)
