Alevale commented 2 years ago

I wanted to install IrFFB but I'm running into issues as to what to install?

Which is the up to date version? I see some updated that have different dates (latest) than this package.. so it has me wondering 🤔

  1. This repo
  2. This fork https://github.com/Fuzzwah/irFFB
  3. This fork https://github.com/zskulcsar/irFFB

Thank you @nlp80 @fuzzwah @zskulcsar

Our savior is @nlp80. He just resurfaced on the iRacing forums. Perhaps he could just drop a quick one liner in here to tell us if he thinks he'll be able to look into this project again in 2022? ❤️

Let's try to see if there's a way to get him to delegate into some people so it doesn't die... 🤞

That's the wonderful thing about open source, people are able to fork the project and continue supporting it. As I have done.

@Fuzzwah I do agree that it's a great thing, but it's better if there's 1 go to project rather than 10 forks that all happen to do the same or aim for the same.

tbf, it would be easier to have one fork that is actively maintained. which in this case is @Fuzzwah 's. Having said that - I'm happy to offer my work as a PR. I'm not really a C++ dev but managed to make this thing compile for x64 and in the middle of porting the actual ASM code.

Oh @Fuzzwah. We truly appreciate you keeping it going. I did not mean to discount your work at all. Because of you, every time I buy a new car I go check your fork and see if you’ve added the values for that car (you always do). I really am grateful.

My original point is that @nlp80 recently clarified some core logic/potential issues with the project in the iRacing forums. Hinted that it may get looked at this year. So we’re hopeful of some package updates, rewrites, and improvements.

I know what it’s like. You write something, put it out there and then a few years later you look at it with a fresh perspective and have a million ideas on how to refactor it. We’re all just hopeful to hear if that’s his plan.

Thanks to both of you!
