Description:

What's new:

  • Directions are automatically announced when you turn
  • F9 then C announces your coordinates in the world
  • F9 then A announces your pitch attitude and roll
  • Tones to indicate pitch and roll when they exceed a given threshold
    • buzzy tone in left or right ear represents roll
    • triangle waveform tone in center represents pitch

What's broken:

  • In Metric mode, speed is announced every 25mph, not every 25kph.
  • Sapi is working in the source code version, but broken when built with Nuitka

ToDo:

  • F9 then u to switch between imperial and metric mode (will not save to config file)
  • Timbre shift triangle waveform to indicate whether vehicle is pitching nose down or nose up
  • Add support for detecting low oil light

Notes:
I'm kind of at a stand still right now with the mod. There's more I'd like to do, and a lot more the BeamNG engine allows. There's plenty of things to hook onto, override, etc. in order to allow for more data. The problem is that the debug console is extremely busy, and doesn't OCR well at all. Further, to even load an extension into the game for testing requires writing a console command to the right console window. This means clicking a few buttons to switch it over to "ge" mode, which isn't doable given how information-dense the console is.

Unless I can find a way around this, there isn't much more I can do. Still, I think the mod is better than not having it.

    So, i'm curious, can I write mods for apps, games and vst's using gpt5? You seem to be doing really well with this. What coding language does it use? Do you have to prompt it special? One time I tried to get AI to make an app, it was inaccessible as all hell.

    It'll code in whatever language you specify. IF you don't, it will pick something suitable, though you may not be willing to deal with the consequences. For instance, it's generally more annoying to build with C# because you either need Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition, or the MS build tools and dealing with MSVC.

    You have to be aware of what you're asking for, yes. I'd say it takes a bit of work to prompt it well. It helps to know what UI frameworks can be made accessible. If you ask for things to be made screen reader accessible, they generally are. On the web, ask for WCAG 2.2 compliance and proper ARIA implementation and you'll get it.

    Pro tip, if you want to stick with python, use WXPython. it will attempt something like pygame, and that may be accessible in some ways but that requires you to use library's that GPT doesn't know how to use.

    Not true. I made a synthesizer using PyGame.
