Project Overview
The JJ Spotter Pack is an add-on for iRacing.
Its goal is to significantly heighten the immersion factor by replacing the default in-sim spotter/crew chief with
real race audio from Lowes crew chief Chad Knaus and spotter Earl Barban. Instructions on where to the files are
detailed at the bottom....
Project History
The JJ Pack was first brought to life on March 13th, 2003 for NASCAR Racing 2003 Season by Papyrus. Over time, it grew from
its humble and horrible beginnings to something that I was satisfied with. People liked it, it gave me something to do, so I kept updating it.
After 3 years and 21 updated versions, it became a "finished product" for NR03.
A couple years later when iRacing came onto the scene, the JJ pack began its migration. It started as a basic port job
from NR03, but it has changed a lot since then, including a whole spotter replacement from Chris Osborne to Earl Barban in version 5.00. Work
continues, unless otherwise stated.
Distribution
Please do not post these files on a website, or use them in another project for this sim or any other sim. Blah, blah,
blah, the usual wishes from any artist or creator of things. Seriously, don't thieve other people's work, make your own, it's not hard :)

Until I come up with a visually pleasing way to incorporate both projects on the home page here, I've moved all the NR03
stuff to its own page. Click here to go there.

JJSP Cuss Pack Edition %@#! Posted
It's been a long time coming, and there seemed to be some interest in it, so I finally made a first pass at that Cuss Pack
I've been threatening to make. In a nut shell, it's a stand-alone pack that contains the same content as the regular JJSP, but
it also has a number of adult language stuff added into it. So if you're sensative to F-bombs and the like, I'd advise that you
stick with the regular JJSP.
That being said, the Cuss Pack is not intended to sound like you're watching Casino while you're racing. It's intended to provide
a spattering of cussing from time to time. If anyone has even listened to a race scanner, that would be realistic. With all
the other things in there randomly playing, I'm sure there will be races where you don't hear anything. You never know.

JJSP Version 6.00 ... Available
First and foremost... special thanks to iRacing developer David Tucker for making all of this possible.
I took v6 out for a some sessions tonight, I ran into a bunch of stuff offline, and I'm pleased to report that
the sim never locked up or crashed. I also had an earlier version in the hands of a few JJSP beta testers for several days, and
they reported no problems either. So I guess I'm semi-comfortable posting it now. I don't think that the JJSP has ever crashed
anyone's computer, even going back to the NR03 days, but with the unprecedented amount of files in this pack, I'm a little
nervous of that. So if anyone notices anything bad happen, please flame me and let me know about it. I don't anticipate anything
bad happening, but you never know.
New in this version... everything, and whole lot of it. Variety, and a whole lot of it. Some areas are pretty deep, and some
still pretty thin, but I plan to keep adding and adding and adding and adding. From what I heard while out tooling around, some
of the dialog combinations sounded awesome. Others..... ehhhh.... I've already started jotting down notes on what I want to tweak.
I'll call it a work in progresss.
Enjoy.

You've Got Wheel Damage!!!
No matter which spotter pack you use, some think that the wheel damage message is played too much to the point where
it gets annoying. If you think so, download the "wheeldam" file to the upper left and save it to the folder where your spotter resides.
It's a silent file.
The Latest Spotter Pack
JJ Spotter Pack v6.00
(983 files, 7.9MB)
Installation instructions
Unlike the stoneaged days, Versions 5.01 and beyond use an installer.
With the installer, it will create a "JJ Spotter Pack vx.xx" folder at the default iRacing location, and extract all the files within.
If you installed iRacing to a different drive or folder, you'll have to point the Installer to that location during the install, and you'll have to
create the "JJ Spotter Pack vx.xx" folder manually, otherwise, everything could get dumped into your \\spcc root folder,
which isn't what you want.
When all is well, your folder tree should look something like this;
\\iRacing\sound\spcc\JJ Spotter Pack vx.xx
After that, launch the sim and go into the Sound options and select "Jimmie Johnson Spotter Pack vx.xx" from the voicepack dropdown list.
You'll have to restart the sim before the sim will use it.
