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).
