🔄 Prepared iRacing session info for new encoding

  • DRE can keep reading newer iRacing session data when track names, setup names, and driver names arrive with quoted text or accented and non-Latin characters, instead of losing those values when iRacing updates its session-info format.

✅ Neural voice switched to the local voice at times

  • Fixed cases where number-heavy replies, compact values, or some longer phrases could make DRE wrongly drop from your selected neural voice to the local Windows voice, so replies stay more consistent.
  • Fresh Azure replies that look unusual are less likely to be thrown away too aggressively, so DRE prefers keeping your chosen neural voice instead of flipping to the local fallback for valid callouts.

✅ LMU could still stay silent on some session joins

  • DRE is less likely to get stuck half-connected on some LMU joins, because stale cross-sim signals are ignored more aggressively and LMU session readiness is checked more precisely during load.

✅ Push-To-Talk could lose your next phrase while DRE was still processing the previous one

  • If you press Push-To-Talk again before DRE finishes the last local voice input, your next phrase is now queued and handled locally in order instead of being dropped, replaying the wrong input, or getting stuck behind the earlier attempt.

✅ Zero-fuel pit confirmations could still leave fuel enabled

  • If DRE works out that you do not need fuel for a stop, confirming the pit now clears a stale fuel request instead of carrying a full-tank fill into the stop by mistake.

✅ Fuel Time Left could drop far too low early in a race

  • Fuel time-left analytics are less likely to swing wildly during the opening race laps when lap-time projections briefly go unrealistic, so the estimate stays closer to the real race pace instead of suddenly collapsing.

✅ Track temperature alerts could quote a stale session-start change

  • Race weather alerts are less likely to compare against stale session-start temperatures, so track-temperature trend callouts should stay closer to the values you actually see once the race is underway.
