    the p for perfect was a reference to detecting vehicle size correctly instead of guessing or manually having to adjust them based on car.
    which is covered in the first few sentences of OP. both the radar and spotter are perfect in that sense.

    its shipped in both versions, u need to enable the following settings:

    FuelData -> MasterSwitch
    ShowSafetyPoints


    to see it

    I can wholeheartedly recommend this app. It integrates seamlessly and does not affect performance in the slightest. Just what AMS2 needed, thanks @toniware :cool:

    Radar no longer works for me with the current (V1.3.3.0) AMS2 version.

    Edit: False alarm I had to download the dbghelp.dll again and copy it into the folder then it worked again.

    which version did you download? with spotter or without?
    are u sure u are on 1.3.5.0? current version is 1.3.5.1

    in any case could u verify your game cache (through steam) and then try to run the game without the tool. if it works fine, try to run the game with the tool and see if the issue remains.
    i havent had anyone else report issues like that yet :/

    I haven’t been able to play for some months. Downloaded the open beta version last week and had the spinning radar until I checked the Discord and saw an updated version. This works perfectly well for me in the latest game release. I’m using the non-spotter version.

    Verifying cache is probably a good place to start.

    This is the latest version; there's mention of a version number typo in the release thread.

    Update 07.05.22:

    New Feature "Fix Input".

    This Feature will allow you to remain in control of your Car, even if tabbed out of the Game.
    eg. you are racing online, 30min into the Race some background program opens a window and thus the game loses focus, normally your car wont be controllable and just go straight.

    only works online since the game gets paused in singleplayer, so no need.

    I have the files installed exactly as specified and have edited the .jsn file, however I see no radar yet the spotter working well. I am not sure if I must change something where I enabled the VRradar ?

    I do not have Crew Chief installed so is that needed by the radar to work ?

    Update : I have tried changing the values to see if the Radar is just off screen but I cannot get it to show at all ... what is the trick to make Radar appear in VR ? I am using a Pimax 8KX so maybe is not compatible with a wide FOV display ? I am stumped.

    Damn ! Finally found the problem... must have missed that this app does not support the VR Perf Kit. I had just got it up & running before I found this and it gives such a good frame boost I thought everyone was using it.

    So disabled the VR Perf boost and really like the Radar ... any chance of somehow modifying it to work with that mod ? Understand it is free and maybe not easy to implement. Thanks

    +++ Is the Volume setting working for anyone else ? I tried values down to 20 but it remains the same strength in game.

    regarding the volume, u have the restart the game for the change to take effect, thats a limitation to how the sound data is being handled.

    which vr perf boost are you talking about?

    Thanks for the reply
    This is the one linked here :-
    GitHub - fholger/vrperfkit: VR Performance Toolkit
    Really nice boost in fps ! It has option to use FSR, CAS or NIS (Nvidia cards only)

    My system is Amd 5900x + RTX3090 + 16gb DDR4 3600 on Asus X570 mobo. Pimax 8KX VR Hmd.

    I tried many volume changes down to 20 and each time restarted AMS2, also unloaded reloaded SteamVR. I even did a PC reset once thinking my sound was playing up but Volume remained same.
