This additional spotter for ARCA was made for rFactor but as ARCA is based on the same game engine it works perfect in ARCA also.
Installation
------------------------
Download the carolmakers spotter for rF from here:
rFactor Central // rFactor Addons // Spotter Plugin 2.02
Also grab the 2.02 patch from the same page.
Run the installer and point it to your ARCA game directory, please note it will be currently pointing at an rF directory but dont worry, It will work here.
Once the installer starts up it will start downloading files from the net for installation.
Once complete it will install PilFius which is the voice recognition software, Once that has installed you will be presented with a win-zip self extractor for sapi.exe, Extract the files to a folder on your desktop then run the setup.exe.
Once that has done go back to the 2.02 patch for carlomakers spotter plugin, extract all folders in the patch to your ARCA game directory.
The plugin in now installed!
If you require the online and offline name packs, download them from this thread at RSC
Driver Name Packs for Carlomaker Spotter 2 - RaceSimCentral Forums
and extract to contents to
c:/program files/ARCA remax/gamedata/sounds/pit/English Spotter Soundpack by F1Dave/drivers folder.
Once they are installed you can run the config exe that can be found in the spotter addon folder in your ARCA game directory.
Make sure you have the correct soundpack active and nascar mode enabled.
As you may see in the config screen there are plenty of variables you can change and as of yet I have not tested out the voice recognition stuff as that requires some setting up, I dont think ill use that function much tho as im always on TS.
Save and exit.
Start up ARCA and make sure you turn off the spotter from ingame as you dont need 2 guys shouting at you
Go racing and sit back and enjoy the new sounds, I find them far better than the original and more informative.
Enjoy!
