NGPCarMenu improves the "Select Car and Stage" in-game menu selections in RBR/RBRTM/RBRRX and improves the BTB track support (scrollable menu, replay afterwards) in Richard Burns Rally (RBR) game. See https://github.com/mika-n/NGPCarMenu for more information.

What's new?
(- v1.16.1. Hot fix for race stat feature where the feature didn't work in certain situations. Stupid mistake. Added avg km/h value to the recent results scoreboard list).

  • New "rally results / statistics" feature to collect a detailed history of rally results in one place and provides an open access to this data.
  • Fix and workaround to an issue between SimHub overlay dashboards and dynamically installed cars in RallysimFans (RSF) online plugin. See #13 for more detailed information.
  • API interface tweaks (not relevant for end users, only for custom plugin authors).

RallyResults/RaceStat feature details:
RaceStatDB feature collects a history of rally results whether it is driven as QuickRally, RBRTM, RSF or RBRRX/BTB rally. All of this stored in one place for making it easier to do detailed analysing of rallies. NGPCarMenu plugin stores cars and maps driven, car transmission and tyre setups, weather setups, surface setups, damage type, split and finish times, time penalties (false start penalty and total of call for help and cut penalties), plugin used to drive (fex shakedown or online rally in RBRTM) and so on.

This is not the same as "telemetry logging" feature of Fixup/NGP plugin. Telemetry feature logs live throttle/brake/springs/dampers data and it does it great. However, telemetry has a bit too much information and lacks certain useful information if the intention is just to see the rally results within RBR in-game screens. RaceStat feature of NGPCarMenu intends to fill this gap and stores all useful rally result information in one place using open accessible storage format. NGPCarMenu plugin already shows a summary of this information within RBR in-game screens, but the data is available even outside of RBR and NGPCarMenu. See plugins\NGPCarMenu\RaceStat\ReadMe_RaceStatDB.txt for more details.

Note! After installing this version of NGPCarMenu plugin you won't see anything at first because the raceStatDB is empty. Drive couple rallies in Quickrally/RBRTM/RSF/RBRRX and you should see the result in RBR main menu/RBRTM mainmenu/RBRRX stages list. NGPCarMenu plugin shows only finished rally results, so if you are forced to retire the rally is not shown in RBR, but still the history of retired rallies is available via raceStatDB detailed data also (when the car has passed at least split1 before retiring).
