APP: ACC Engineer

I’m not getting any beeps with the oversteer/understeer. From the video I’ve seen on this it’s pretty much plug and play and entering the correct steering ratio to get started. Is there anything else I need to do?

 

Some people have reported this, but I can't reproduce it. The beeps are just very simple Windows beeps. Maybe it's hardware related?

 

I’m not sure. Where would I check to see if it has been disabled?

 

do you have the windows system sounds turned off?

 

There is a check box to turn the sound on or off.

 

Good morning, apart from not hearing the beep. It happens to me that on all circuits, no matter what I do, it always gives me this result, is this possible? Thanks

 

It depends... is your low speed entry understeer always the biggest number when you get tips? If so, then it's by design.

 

Love the app it's brilliant. This is probably a really stupid question but is there an easy way to change the taskbar thumbnail for the app on my pc? Just to make it easier to tell the difference between ACC and the app in the bar. I tend to press the windows key and change apps that way instead of alt tabbing because of about a dozen racelab windows being open!
Thanks again for all your work so far.

 

In Windows you can right-click to get to the shortcut properties and then click the Change Icon button to choose another icon.

 

Hello. Thank you for producing a very handy app however I do not feel that I am using to it's full potential. I watched Overtake's YouTube video on your app and I had a few queries. Appreciate any help please.

1. A 'Setup Tips' query. When you complete a handful of laps and presuming tyres are fine. I understand that you address the first recommendation at the top for each. However let's say, after another handful of laps and a new recommendation pops up different to the last. Again, you look at the top recommendation that needs addressed. Then again.. another handful of laps however this time it brings up the same recommendation from the first time you looked at it. Would you skip the top one and then move onto the next recommendation?

2. 'Generic' in the Setup Tips. When do you look at this?

3. Does the app update automatically?

 

The setup tips just come from the Setup Engineer Bot in the Aris.Drives Discord channel. If you have specific questions about how to apply the tips, it might be best to ask in that Discord channel.
The app doesn't auto-update.

 

I'm having this exact issue. Understeer is detected with even minor movements of the wheel when coming out of the pits or in the starting lap. It seems to be detecting too much understeer way too soon at low speeds. Which results in basically everything else being overridden by low speed understeer setup tips.

 

Do more laps. It only averages the last 2 laps (from memory).

 

I have driven 45 minute races and it still persists. The beeps and low speed understeer detection occur way too soon and without any actual understeer occurring which seems to bias the setup tips for the app towards low speed entry understeer heavily.
Increasing the understeer threshold to around 16-18 makes this low speed false detection go away, but then when understeer actually occurs it needs a lot more wheel angle in order to detect it properly.
May be worth noting the car I'm using - Bentley - and I drop the steer ratio down 1 click in every setup and match that up in the app too.

 

You can adjust the threshold a bit higher, I have had the same bip at minimal steering, and I believe it has to do with alot of negativ front-toe, which will wear the tires. The bot probobly cant tell the difference if i'm correct, and it just records the front tires plowing/inverted-plowing.
adjusting the threshold stopped the early beeping

 

No matter how much I try to understeer or oversteer I cant hear any beep. I checked the sound box already. Any way to fix it?

 

NEEDING GUIDANCE PLEASE!!!

This was an awesome app which has left me heart broken. I was clearing out some items in my download folder and didn't realize that I had unzipped this app to the downloads folder. I have tried to move the app back from the trash bin, i have deleted all references of the app that I can find and redownloaded the app again, but no luck.

The app will download just fine, unzips just fine and shows up in my task bar when I click to open it, but I can't find the opened app. If I hover over on the icon in the task bar it a pop preview window of the app is shown, but I can never get to the app.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

 

without looking too far into it, where the coordinates are stored, you can just bring it back with keyboard:

1. launch the app
2. hit alt+space to bring up the system menu of the app
3. go down one to "Move", hit enter
4. press left or right arrow key once. Windows will bind your mouse to the app window.
   
5. now you move app window with the mouse again without clicking any button!
6. Once you click a mouse button you let the window stay where you clicked
7. Now you can drag the window like you are used to.

 

The sound has stopped working. Any reason why?

 

The sound is the simplest of Windows beeps. Have there been any audio setting changes in Windows?
