ATVO has been updated to support Tempest!

ATVO updates:
  • Added a new Tire Change session event that shows when someone changes tires (triggers when they leave their pit stall with a different tire compound).
  • Added support for showing dry/wet tires in the Timing Screen.
  • Added new Timing Screen column 'Starting tire' that shows the tire each car started the race on.
  • Slightly adjusted average pace calculation to better deal with laps that are much slower or faster than expected due to changing track conditions.
  • NOTE: due to a bug in the data we get from iRacing, the gap/interval calculation, pace calculation and crash prediction may go wrong on some tracks when the track is wet. Some mitigations are in place to reduce the impact. We are trying to resolve this with iRacing.

Theme Editor updates:
  • Added a new data binding "precipitation" in the sessionstate dataset that returns the amount of rain at the start/finish line from 0 (none) to 1 (maximum heavy rain).
  • Added new bindings "startingrow" and "startingrow_ord" (ordinal version) for convenience. They return the row number based on the starting position of the data set, assuming 2-wide starts.

ATVO Theme 2023 updates:
  • Stint Comparison widget will now show the tire that was used in each stint by coloring the horizontal bar. The colors are adjustable in the custom color theme under Tire colors.
  • Added dry/wet tire images to the built-in tire compound dynamic image cache.
  • Added rain support to the Weather widget. When raining, the Humidity display will be replaced with a rain image and a display that shows if the rain is light, moderate or heavy. The 'History' graph shows the amount of rain that was observed in the session previously.
  • Updated the Driver Compare widget: in Compare mode, the bottom info like lap and sector comparisons will now show the difference with respect to the main (left) car.


Updates carried over from beta 1.51.5:

ATVO updates:
Updated Data Tunnel for better performance. Please give it a try and let us know if you see a difference in performance. Use the 'Legacy mode' to revert to the old version if you encounter any issues.
  • Optimized the amount of data sent to avoid network congestion.
  • Optimized the handling of the data on both server and client side to reduce CPU usage.
  • Add target update rate setting to the server; try to reduce the update rate if your PC or network cannot keep up.
  • Add 'Use legacy mode' setting to revert the Data Tunnel to the old mode in case of issues.
  • Removed dropdown choice for selecting the server IP on the Client, since it was not detecting the correct computer anyway.

Theme Editor updates:
  • Tickers now support more options in how their child items are arranged:
    • Item Margin is now called Item Margin (common) and applies to every item. The Item Margin (common) can now be specified separately for left, top, right, bottom sides.
    • Added Item Margin (additional per item) setting. This is an additional margin that applies 'cumulatively' to every item. You can use for example to indent consecutive items for a 'slanted' ticker, or increase the distance between items as you go along the ticker.
    • Added Horizontal and Vertical Item Alignment settings. This is used to align the items to the left, center or right (for a vertical ticker), or top, center or bottom (horizontal ticker).
  • Added several new Actions to change the data binding and converter settings for Dynamic Backgrounds. You can now set their binding, path, script, etc via Actions similar to regular bindings.

ATVO Theme 2023 updates:
  • Added 'Invert gap sign' setting to the General settings. This will invert the gap sign from "behind is positive (+3.814)" to "behind is negative (-3.814)" in all widgets. A restart may be required for some widgets.
