Add missing parameters to telemetry for plugins

Hi,

As rF2 (already asked many times on Discord for clarification and on the forum here without ever getting a response), it seems that LMU is missing some relevant data in the telemetry. I'm talking about at least:
- TC level/mode
- TC power cut level
- TC slip angle
- Fuel mixture/Motor map
- ABS level
- Engine temperature for some cars, i.e. P2
- Water temperature for some cars, i.e. P2
- ARB
For hybrid/electric engines:
- Temperature (available as mEletricBoostMotorTemperature and mElectricBoostWaterTemperature)
- Deployment mode (electric engine power)
- Regen mode
- Recharge state (available as mBatteryChargeFraction and mElectricBoostMotorState)
Considering that the shared memory plugin is working without any change, I assume you are still using the exact rF2 Internal structures and invoking the same exported plugin functions. Therefore these parameters are probably not yet exposed by LMU too.

I kindly ask you to share if this is planned or will ever be planned.

I always hide MFD and I always rely on external devices for all the telemetry (i.e. external USB screen driven by SimHub). It would be awesome to get these values too.
It might be possible to get the same values via reverse engineering and direct memory reading but I don't think that's a viable and stable option for most of the user.

Thanks

Haha, i am just an old man who started with Dashboards last week ;-)

Nice adition with the colors. Will take it over to my Dashboards as well.

Dont wanna bother you but i have to ask if you have installes my Dash and can confirm that the PEugeot Logo apears, while Ignition is off?

I am rdy with the Porsche Dash, will start working on the Ferrari.

It doesn't appear to I'm afraid.. Just has the main screen with engine off flashing.. which stays that way until the ICU fires up in the pit lane.
 
Okay. I think i managed to find the reason. Are you so kind and try it again maybe?

I added Toyota. IGNITION Off Logo From Gazoo Racing. Headlight Indicator in the Dash....2 graphic files

I have the Dashes rdy to roll for the Peugeot and the Toyota. Porsche and Caddy nearly completed.

The only thing whats lagging is the state off charge (Motor Map) indicator and the TC, TC Cut, TC Slip indicator. Everything else is working fine right now.
 
Just to add into this, can the 'model' output be changed as well? at the moment, the model and car are both outputted as the team/livery. Having to make a dash for all the ferraris, and all the porsches isnt the easiest as i want them to detect which car and apply the dash accordingly
 
I hope this happens soon. I personally will not play with a hud and for a game that aims to be a simulator, huds shouldn't be required (my opinion).

I've updated the first post with all the information I've read from different threads. Please, let me know if I'm still missing something

If the developers will provide telemetry data for LMU, I think it would be best to just ask for all the parameters that are provided in the in-game HUD to be available. That would include things like NRG level, virtual fuel usage (last lap), laps target in addition to deploy level, regen level, battery state etc.
