Any interest in a real time spotter dashboard?

I implemented this one line solution from martinguder at the bottom of the page, without which I couldn't get node-irsdk to work with electron. I also added a few lines in the JsIrSdk.js file to remove non ascii characters from player names. I had an issue once where the mere appearance of a Turkish gentleman crashed the app.

CPU maxes out using iRacing

It's a 3rd party program that changes how the force feedback feels. I'm guessing you don't use it though. Here's the download link, and the video I followed to install it, if you want to try it out. Probably not the best idea to start adding more variables while you're trying to find a bug though.

It works opposite of what you think "max force" does, hell, it even says it right on the GitHub page for irFBB:
Add-Ons; such as RaceLabs or Crewchief. Any Recommendations?
