Telemetry app for iOS, iPadOS and macOS

Hi all!


I am developing an application to view real-time telemetry data sent by the game. It includes several features:

  • Lap times with time per lap, per sector, and indicators for fastest lap or personal best.
  • Live map of the session displaying the position of each pilot on the circuit.
  • Real-time telemetry of any pilot's current lap, with the ability to compare it with another pilot and configure the data to be displayed: speed, acceleration, braking, DRS, gears, etc.
  • Race history, allowing visualization of each pilot's position lap by lap.

I have currently published it as a public beta and would appreciate feedback to improve features and address any potential issues. Here's the link for those interested: TestFlight Link.

Additionally, I have attached some screenshots below. The app is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and macOS. Screenshots Link.

  • Hi @adboco, nice job, very well done and with great potential 😎

    Could you make it work with previous versions of UDP too? I'm stuck on UDP 2021, the latest one with big changes, all my SimHub dashboards are optimized for that... I'm a bit 'lazy' or read I should work a lot to achieve the result that I inherit for free from previous editions 🙂

    Here what I get:

    Hi @Nuvolarix,

    I can check how different is the specification and if it's a quick win I will do it, but right now I prefer to focus on improve the performance and bring new features to the app.

    Otherwise, I'm thinking about publishing the TelemetryKit library (the one that handles UDP communication and process packets) I wrote in Swift in Github in order to others can collaborate and improve or expand its functionality.

    Is there something else you miss? I'm thinking in a feature to record the telemetry of the laps to load them whenever you want, not just live telemetry like right now. Live telemetry is cool but it doesn't provide what you need to improve if you can't compare with a reference lap or persist the data for reviewing it later.

    Yes, I can understand the focus, if you will manage to extend UDPs it will be appreciated 🙂

    Here is what I'm used to watch in my SimHub race dashboard, it may give some ideas to you maybe:

    on the left race data, in the center focus on laptimes/delta, in the right car data, tyres wear, damage etc. 

    About the telemetry yes, currently i'm using a telemetry PC app, it would be nice to have everything (dashboard + telemetry) in the same app!

    Ciao,

  • Awesome app! I downloaded it today for my M1 MacBook Air. Encountered one problem: Live Timing screen crashed the app every time I tried to activate it. All other screens (Live Map, Telemetry & Race history) worked well without crashing the whole app.

    Hi @MiccisFIN, thanks for the feedback!

    I think the version for macOS I uploaded is a little bit outdated. I will try to publish a new one today or tomorrow. However if you sent the report I’ll see it in the apple developer portal and I’ll be able to fix it if it’s still present.

    Last one I uploaded for iOS has some performance improvements and it consumes less CPU and memory.

    I’m including also flags in the live map sectors as shown here:

    Hi Nuvolarix, I’ve included a Dashboard functionality in the app that is customizable with different modules. Maybe you can try and let me know if it looks good for you or give me some ideas. I’m open to develop new modules requested by the community

    I'm developing a similar thing, but for real analog and digital telemetry.  Can I ask you some basic questions about how you made your app?

    Thanks
