NGPCarMenu improves RBR/RallySimFans/RBRTM/RBRRX/BTB support in several ways. See https://github.com/mika-n/NGPCarMenu for more information.

  • Download the "NGPCarMenu_versionTag.zip" package (see asset links below this message) and unzip it to the root folder of RBR game folder.
  • (Optional) Download the "RSF_Launcher_versionTag.zip" package and unzip it to the root folder of RBR game folder (after this you should have rsf_launcher subfolder in the RBR root). RSF_Launcher app is a tool to setup RBR settings and to launch the game using your favorite settings. The tool supports both RallySimFans (RSF, hu) and Tournament (RBRTM, cz) rbr installations.
  • NOTE! If you use FileExplorer integrated tool to extract the zip file then some PC setups may block the extracted NGPCarMenu.dll file because it was downloaded from Internet. The solution is to tick "unblock" option in NGPCarMenu.dll file properties (right mouse button click in FileExplorer) or to use WinRAR or 7-Zip tool to extract the ZIP package.

What's new?

  • Rally Radio: NGPCarMenu installs a radio player on every car. When you enter a stage the radio is automatically paused and resumed when you return to RBR menu. The radio can be Spotify/YouTube/YouTubeMusic/iTunes/online radio playing on a web browser or almost any other your favorite media player. See RSF_Launcher RallyRadio option or in-game Options/Plugins/NGPCarMenu RallyRadio option.

  • MyPacenotes feature: This is a new feature to make it easier to manage and maintain custom pacenotes for both classic and BTB stages. When this option is enabled (see RSF_Launcher/MyPacenotes screen) then custom pacenotes are stored outside of map data files in MyPacenotes storage folder. This way your own custom notes are not lost when a map is updated and pacenote changes are autosaved (no need to do Save or SaveAsBTB in PaceNote editor or if RBR crashes and you forgot to do Save then the latest changes are in safe in MyPacenotes storage). Custom pacenotes are also version controlled on a daily level (ie. if you modify a pacenote today then the notes from yesterday are automatically preserved just in case).

  • Using the new RSF_Launcher tool you can set a different dashboard layout for racing and replay modes (supports both RBR digidash and GaugerPlugin addon dashboards). For example, you may want to see minimal "Controls" GaugerPlugin layout while racing, but a "Full" GaugerPlugin layout with more details while watching replays.

  • Improved minimap drawing especially with BTB stages (caches minimaps instead of re-caculating a map data each time)

  • Small bug fixes here and there.

  • Adds RallySimFans (RSF) dynamic car slot support in SimHub (improved SimHub RBR integration): SimHub can correctly see when a different car is chosen at runtime without RBR restarts for the next stage in RSF RBR installation. #13

  • Adds support for full stage names (both classic and BTB stages) in SimHub: Originally SimHub showed stage names only for the original RBR stages and custom stages were shown as "track-xxx" names. Now a text item with a SimHub formula [GameRawData.Track] shows the full RBR stage name. #13

  • Adds BTB stage support in SimHub: SimHub can tell the difference between BTB stages, sees the full stage name instead of treating all BTBs as #41 Cote DArbroz stages and SimHub can keep track of BTB stage records and delta times. #13

  • Unifies the SimHub logic to identify stages in UDPTelemetry and Default SimHub for RBR operating modes. Now both operating modes share the same identification logic making it possible to share stage records and delta times in both SimHub modes. Originally SimHub had a different logic in UDP and Default modes, so if you kept jumping between these SimHub modes each of those had own set of records for the same stage and a car.

  • See this link for more info about the improved SimHub RBR integration for RSF and RBRTM rbr installations: #13

  • RSF_Launcher: This is a new tool to manage RallySimFans (RSF) and RBRTM (Czech) RBR installations (game options, plugin enabled/disabled, dashboard templates, MyPacenotes). In the future there will be more and more goodies in RSF_Launcher.
    -- RSF_Launcher requires minimum of Microsoft .NET core 3.1 runtime library version. Most Windows 10 PCs have this already, but if this is missing then the launcher instructs you to install it. You can download the latest Microsoft .NET core runtime libaries from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download web site.
