iRacing VR using Crew Chief - USF-2000 @ Sebring Club: Practicing Voice Commands
Crew Chief is the one "must have" sim racing software I know of. Crew Chief will add to your immersion, help automate your pit stops, and place a wealth of information under your thumb's Push-To-Talk button. Using voice commands to help Crew Chief help you can sometimes be trying in the beginning. But its worth the effort to learn the key phrases that allow you to communicate with the software. In this video, I show you how I practice using Crew Chief with voice commands.
Some of my favorite voice commands are:
"Session status" / "Race status": report race position, gaps, time / laps left in session
"what's the [air / track] [temp / temperature]
"what's the fastest lap" (reports the fastest lap in the session for the player's car class)
"how's my [fuel / tyre wear / body work / aero / engine / transmission / suspension / pace ]
"pitstop add [X gallons]" (adds X amount of fuel next pitstop, this option is iRacing only)
"pitstop fast repair / pitstop repair" (enable fast repair next pitstop, this option is iRacing only)
"pitstop change all tyres" (change all tyres next pitstop, this option is iRacing only)
"pitstop repair all" (repair all damage next pitstop, this option is iRacing only)
"keep quiet / I know what I'm doing / leave me alone" (switches off messages)
"keep me informed / keep me posted / keep me updated" (switches messages back on)
"spot / don't spot" (switches the spotter on and off - note even in "leave me alone" mode the spotter still operates unless you explicitly switch it off)
"tell me the gaps" (switch on 'deltas' mode where the time deltas in front and behind get read out on each lap. Note that these messages will play even if you have disabled messages)
"no more gaps" (switch off deltas mode)
