Feature request: UDP forwarding #3

Open bluecow82 opened 3 years ago

bluecow82 commented 3 years ago

Would it be possible to add a UDP port forwarding function? Reason for this: using overlays from Simhub. ACC timing tower for example is not ideal, as it only updates once per sector, and sometimes a pass that has already happened does not update on the timing tower. In Simhub however one can create a timing tower overlay that updates almost real-time, which could be used on the stream.

Cheers, and thank you for creating this app!

I'm not sure I understood correctly, what is the data you want to access?

bluecow82 commented 3 years ago

I don't know enough about how the data gets transmitted out of ACC, but SimHub is a dashboard/overlay creator that can pick up that data (similar to how ACCDirectorAssistant does), and provide telemetry based on it. That telemetry can then be used either by an engineer, or the driver. A streamer would benefit from being able to access it as well, as telemetry overlays could be created for the stream from it. However, because the streamer uses ACCDirectorAssistant for example, the data stops there, and cannot continue further to SimHub, so I was hoping for a "port forwarding" function. I have not yet seen this with any other software, including the ksBroadcasting client provided by Kunos, so it could very well be a limitation of ACC. But, it's worth asking if you can somehow push that information thru. :)

Now I get it, this could be useful
