Codemasters TeamThe motion packet and the lap data packet are both outputted by on the Frequency: Rate as specified in menus. However, I get a discrepancy between reading in the packets, where the motion packet would return more frequently during a race session at the end than the lap data packet did. I basically want to combine the data for them but have no matching way of doing it. Anyone that can help?
Yeah I'm currently a bit confused about the "rate as defined in the menu". I simplified my code to count the frequency (should be 10HZ) of the lap_data and car_telemetry_data as shown below.
And the print statements included, show some weird situations where the lap_data print statement does not show up, however the car_telemetry_data does:
I don't know if it could have anything to do with my (rather old 2017) MacBook, or the print statements shown above slowing down the UDP retrieval speed, which possibly skips some of these packet instances. Don't know if that makes sense, I don't quite have a background in data engineering, but in data science mostly.
The main goal here is to combine each instance of the car_telemetry_data's speed / throttle / gear to each instance of the lap_data's current_lap_time_ms. Which should be rather simple if both packets have the same frequency output, but they don't so that makes it difficult to match the instances without having gaps in them.
does anyone know if it is possible to identify the player who starts the race first via telemetry?
the background is that in my league only the host is allowed to start the race, we give everyone enough time to choose their strategy and take care of other needs before the race.
But it often happens that someone starts much too early, so others are at a disadvantage because either the strategy is not yet ready or they are still in the bathroom, for this reason the rule applies that only the host may start, but if no one is in the lobby as a spectator, unfortunately it is not possible to recognize which player has started the race too early.
