🛠 Patch Update – Release Notes

🏁 Time Trial Crash Fix

• Fixed a crash in TT mode where lap number was not being properly set

Release Notes 🚀

🚀 New Features

📊 Flashback Support

Implemented support for flashback events in non-TT sessions, enhancing data tracking and restoring consistency during rewinds.

⛽ Fuel Surplus Laps Calculation - Now with Options!

You can now choose how fuel surplus laps are estimated:

• Game Logic 🎮: Uses a fixed, baseline fuel consumption rate - consistent and predictable, a quintessential codies algorithm
• Pits n Giggles Logic 📈: A bit smarter. Takes fuel snapshots at the race start and after each lap, then applies linear regression to estimate future usage. Think of it as doing the math based on how you're actually driving, not just how the game thinks you should be driving.

🎤 Tyre Delta TTS

Press a button, hear the gap! A new TTS feature announces the time delta between slicks vs inters and slicks vs wets when you trigger a UDP action (default: 11). You can bind this to any button on your wheel, controller, or keyboard.

Editing config.ini is only needed if you want to change the default action code:

[Network]
udp_tyre_delta_action_code = 11

🎨 UI Enhancements

🖥️ Overlay Improvements

More readable lime green colors used in lap time and pace comparison overlays.

🌟 Splash Screen Updates

• Improved alignment of the red dot indicator in the splash screen text. Credit to @ashvinpanicker for the hotfix!
• Updated the splash screen message text for clarity.

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• 🏁 Session Start Event Miss Handling: If the session start packet is missed, the app now correctly resets and recovers.
• 🔄 Per Lap Calculation Issue: Fixed issue where lap-based data like tyre/fuel extrapolation wasn't being calculated due to timing of session start.
• ⏱️ Last Lap Time Display: Ensured accurate display of player's last lap time in the post-race viewer, even when not present in lap-info.
• 🌦️ Weather Forecast Sampling: Weather forecast now respects user preference exactly for number of samples.
• 💥 Crash Fix: Fixed crash in player stream overlay during TT.
• ⌨️ Ctrl+C Handling: Graceful shutdown of the app on Ctrl+C; proper logger and Quart cleanup added.

🏗️ Architecture Update

🔄 Async Migration

The app has been fully migrated to an asyncio-based architecture for improved performance and responsiveness.
