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

In deed it would be a shame if no more data is coming. in rf we dont have it until today, but there was not as much importance than in LMU (which is blowing me away, btw).

Maybe we here something from the devs. Technically it should not be such a big problem.

I mean you NEED at least the Info of remaining energy.

Simhub with the Lovely Dash shows incorrect tire temperatures compared to the in-game telemetry HUD. Is it the same for you?
 
And if possible, increase the available logging frequency so we could choose to use more than 100hz on some channels, specially suspension position and damper speed.
 
- TC level/mode
- TC power cut level
- TC slip angle
- Fuel mixture/Motor map
- ABS level
- Engine temperature
- Water temperature
- ARB
- Oil temperature
- Oil pressure

For hybrid/electric engines:

- Temperature (available as mEletricBoostMotorTemperature and mElectricBoostWaterTemperature)
- Deployment mode (electric engine power)
- Regen mode

HUD

- Change size trackmap
- Labels drivers
 
What is also missing is current stint laps (completed laps since last visit to pitstop). Some cars have this working in the dashboard (e.g. LMP2) but it's not available in SimHub in any way (game telemetry or computed).

I use the following Nclac formula in my dashes and it gives an accurate stint laps for me in LMU.

if(driverlapsdonesincelastpitout([position])<1, '-',

truncate(driverlapsdonesincelastpitout([position]))
)

Ah, so there is a function for that. Thanks. It's guesswork though based on the function description, so probably a game telemetry data wouldn't hurt anyway.

Isn't "laps done since last pit out" the same meaning as "current stint laps", language wise? The data LMU provides should be fine to maintain a correct value of this, at least for the player car as needed here.

I think it's distance traveled divided by one lap distance. It's never been wrong for me that I've noticed in any sim.

I would say it's based on pit status and laps completed. Distance travelled will vary from lap to lap, so pretty quickly you'd see an offset around the S/F line if you were calculating it that way.
 
Car Model then? I don't see anything.

CarId and CarModel both hold the actual livery used. When I'm driving an Aston there is no way to actually know it's an Aston except making a database of all liveries, which is beyond the point.

Also other car setting parameters that can be changed while driving like:
- Brake mitigation
- From ARB
- Rear ARB

It is the same. Where did I say it's not. I said "thank you" for the function as it does what I needed.
