Dear Automobilistas, I’m happy to share with you AVUS a tool to Analyse, Visualise, Understand Speed. The tool was born when me and my Automobilsta 2 buddy started endless discussions about who was quicker in certain corners - I guess each sim driver knows these kind of talks. After several months of tweaking I'm able to share the first public version soon with the AMS community. AVUS allows you to record any lap driven in AMS2. One can select 2 laps to show the telemetry data like speed, throttle, braking, gearing, and steering in time-based graphs and heat maps. The more meaningful features are trackmap visualisations to compare sectors - however not the default sectors from AMS2. The first comparison simply creates sectors based for a fixed distance, standard are 100m, but this configurable by the user. The more advanced sector comparison method analyses the telemetry and extracts braking zones, from one braking zone to another. Again there are options to configure the sector boundaries, like setting minimal or maximums for sector lengths, or minimal braking distance. And if you really want to analyse racing lines very precisely there's an animates 3D mode to relive your 2 selected laps, head-to-head, from a helicopter's perspective. See the video for more details. Ambitions: BAR 1999. We are certain we will win our first race! Reality: Simtek 1995. Great potential for a small team with interesting new technologies. However, we’re very busy fixing reliability issues and finances are disaster. Let me know if you would like to receive a beta version. The whole things runs in a normal web browser using a Window based server sniffing data from the game. More details to follow later. This week? Maybe next week....
Launch got very much delayed, but here it is... the first release of AVUS Studio for all Automobilistas. Getting started with AVUS: Start Automobilista 2 Go to Settings > System > Set 'Use Shared Memory' and 'UDP Protocol Version' both to "Project CARS2". 'UDP Frequency' can remain turned off Restart the game Start the CREST4AVUS server with your driver name: CREST4AVUS_V8.exe -driver "Your Driver Name" The AVUS web page should open - you should see 1 demo session driven on Taruma Internacional Search the message on the server console to confirm connection: WATCHING DRIVER {YOUR DRIVER NAME} Drive some laps and come back to you browser, reload the page and you will see you session Select 2 laps, click "Compare selected laps" and dive into your telemetry! Impressions A. Main Interface Session selection and a boxplot of the laps in the session. B. Telemetry graphs The telemetry (Speed, Brake, Throttle, Gear, Steering) for the selected laps. C. Trackmaps Two trackmaps with various overlay - Laps: Speed, Throttle, Brake - Time Sectors: Fixed sectors (timing is measured on measured intervals), Dynamic sectors (analytes braking zones - not perfect yet) - Data Comparison: Racing lines, Speed, Throttle, Braking, Steering D. 3D Animated Trackmap Grab some popcorn and watch a head-to-head animation of the two laps. Know bugs: - The help section - see info above - Session selection: the laps today often won't update. Just reload the page - Trackmap Sector detection: sometimes it just does not find the right starting points and you will see great timing differences - Test Day sessions are not stored - Lap 1 in sessions are not stored - ... and much more! Credits & KUDOS! The CREST4AVUS server is Forked from CREST2 - CARS2 REST API - (c) 2015 Lars Rosenquist, and CREST2 for AMS2 by Viper.

Prova 2 - tHe BigGeSt UpDaTe Yet Improved session filtering Several improvements for better session filtering New time <> distance graph to visualise time lost. See the first image. Fixed recording qualifying sessions on the server Improved session selector with multi-criteria filtering Sequential filtering for driver, track variation and car class Performance improvements in session data retrieval from server to web client Updated server endpoints to support advanced filtering Bug fixes and stability improvements Preparation for upcoming View Manager feature Preparation for upcoming Cloud synchronization functionality How to update from a previous version? - Make a backup of alboreto_main.duckb - this file contains your data (session and laps telemetry recorded) - Delete all files from the previous release - Unzip the new version - Overwrite the duckdb file from the zip with your backup file from step 1 Download - Overtak.gg > AVUS - Google Drive >
What's new? Integrated AVUS Cloud synchronization to share and compare best laps Improved session filtering to find sessions faster and more accurately Track maps are much easier to user with zoom in + drag function BETA: Added View Manager to show Telemetry and Track Map next to each other Support for tracks sidelines added, though not included in distribution due to intellectual property concerns Bug fixes and stability improvements Known bug: Dark Mode not yet supported - issues in some browser! How to update from a previous version? Make a backup of alboreto_main.duckb - this file contains your data (session and laps telemetry recorded) Delete all files from the previous release Unzip the new version Overwrite the duckdb file from the zip with your backup file from step 1 If you don't see the new version number in the top left, empty your browser's cache (likely to be CTRL-F5 for Chrome or CTRL-SHIFT-R for Edge) Download Overtake: AVUS - Updates | OverTake.gg
This looks awesome and works pretty good! Keep it up, awesome work <3 Will it be possible to record all drivers in a session and compare laps from different drivers?
Dear Automobilistas Finally a new update for AVUS with changes big and small. No new big features just refinement and improvements to make it easier to understand the telemetry and look into the differences of driving style of the 2 laps. Enjoy, Team AVUS NEW IN 25.5 - Data Analytics - The Sector Comparison Data card shows in depth comparison data: first/last brake, first throttle, min/max/avg speed. Just hover over a sector (card) to see the details. - Track Map UI - The track map overlays for braking and throttle appliance show less data gaps giving a clearer picture of actual user inputs. - Track Map UI - Sector labels can now be dragged and repositioned, plus a reduced format e.g. "S1 | +0.781" to save space. Full details remain in the sector cards below the track map. - Track Map UI - Colors have been adjusted for better visibility and contrast. No more sh*tty brown pitlanes! - General UI - Dark mode can be toggles via the moon icon in the top right corner. Your preference will be saved for future visits. - Session selection - Filtering by track variation AND car class should be fixed, there were several bugs causing issues., - Engineering - The way AVUS is constructed has changed significantly under the hood which should speed up the overall user experience. Expect faster load times and smoother interactions. Known Issues - There are issues loading the track map overlays, especially on AVUS Cloud Screenshots The Sector Comparison Data card in full glory Use the keyboard shortcuts to quickly switch overlay and to spot difference in driving style. Press 'h' for this overview. Just remember the scheme for overlays: 1,2,3 for comparisons - A,B,C for lap 1 - X,Y,Z for lap 2 The telemetry graphs on the right can be expanded by dragging the vertical bar How to update from a previous version? Create a new directory and extract the contents of the zip file Copy the database file "alboreto_main.duckb" from your previous version into the new folder Download - (1) AVUS - Updates | OverTake.gg -
AVUS - Release 25.6 Reliability fixes for lap comparisons Lap Comparisons triggered issues that made the track map and overlays not showing up. This is a first fix, there might still be issues - which is very annoying. The start and end of a lap are now stored brute-force to the database to prevent issues with lap comparisons in the first and last sector. Test Day sessions are now also saved to the database. Zooming in and out the track map as well as dragging the track map has slightly been improved. The bar of the lap table is now semi sticky to prevent issues with scrolling.
