Broadcast Sessions

ACC Tools provides the Broadcast Sessions tool to help you view and manage your driving sessions, including comparing your laps compared to other drivers in the session.

In addition to files it creates and maintains in your Documents folder, ACC makes data available via two programming interfaces (APIs). These interfaces allow applications like ACC Tools to connect to the game and read data.

While it is running ACC Tools is constantly checking to see if ACC is running. When it detects ACC is running ACC Tools connects to APIs and captures the data into a database.

The Status Bar at the bottom of ACC Tools indicates when it has detected ACC is running and when it is connected to the APIs. The indicators change to Green when connected.

Sessions

The top half of the tool displays all of the sessions that have been captured from the Broadcast API of ACC. Selecting a row in this table updates the tables in the lower half of the tool.

Deleting Sessions

Sessions can be deleted using the Trash Can icon at the end of each row in the table. Activating this button deletes the session and all related laps from the database without prompting for confirmations, so be sure you are deleting the correct row.

Comparing Laps

The primary purpose of the Broadcast Sessions tool is to allow you to compare the laps of any two drivers. Initially the left table in this section displays your laps, while the right table shows the laps of the fastest driver in the session.

Using the drop down lists above each table in this section you can select different drivers to compare. Colours indicate the status of lap and sector times.

• Red indicates an invalid lap
• Magenta indicates a fastest time in the session
• Green indicates a personal best time in the session

Deleting Your Laps

When your own laps are being displayed in the left table of the comparison section you can delete individual laps using the Trash Can button at the end of each row. This button is disabled when the table is displaying laps for other drivers other than yours.

Activating this button deletes the lap from the database without prompting for confirmations, so be sure you are deleting the correct row.
