No longer in beta so you will be offered an update when you next start Crew Cheif.

If CC doesn't call out the names of the drivers and calls out things like "driver in position 2 has just ......" you can tell it the names in game and map them to a driver name in CC so instead he will call out "Tony has binned it"
If you navigate in windows to a file called names.txt it should be found in the windows users folder similar to mine below.
C:\Users\Scoops\AppData\Local\CrewChiefV4\sounds\driver_names
Open the file in notepad and scroll down the page to the end and copy and paste the following.
Jif:jeff john7:john Si White:si Boris Bruckner:Borras Wrighty:Toni Andrew:andrew CageyH:kev RayP:ray Bruce Yule:bruce Scoops:Simon
To add others all you have to do is list the name in game and a name file (in the same folder as the drivers names file) separated by :
So long as people stick to the same name in game it should work even after updates.
I'm trying to get scoops and wrighty to be added as we have several Simons and Tonys as well as Dunki Red SLR etc but not in there yet there.

I have an additional_names.txt and a names.txt in that folder. Both have lists of names. Pick any file to update?

names.txt doesn't get overwritten but either will work.
Original post now edited.

I've got a little bit further with it today, but still having a slight issue....when I click 'start application' (having selected rF2 and input the correct file path in the options) it plays 'Radio Check' through the headphones and no matter how much I talk in to the mic it just says 'Don't understand that...'. Obviously as it's stuck on this, it never gets to launching rF2. Any ideas? The odd thing was that despite following the instructions in this thread and in the help window, it's been a proper ballache to even get this far Especially when Wrighty was pretty much straight in I must be losing my touch

Sorted it The mic boost level in windows wasn't high enough so it wasn't registering it.

If you are having trouble with volume in game you can map buttons in CC to increase and decrease volume of messages.
You can also tell him :
"keep quiet / I know what I'm doing / leave me alone" (switches off messages) "keep me informed / keep me posted / keep me updated" (switches messages back on) "spot / don't spot" (switches the spotter on and off - note even in "leave me alone" mode the spotter still operates unless you explicitly switch it off)

The latest beta release has CC now telling you which corners you are having problems with. So messages such as you're locking your front left going into surtees etc
I'm mapping the corners for these so as soon as a season is sorted I'll make sure those tracks are mapped for CC to call the corner names.

Make sure you get the right names based on the period. Monaco had 'station' in the old track etc..

I forgot to add to get Crew Chief to launch rFactor you need to do the following
Drop a shortcut to Crew Chief onto your desktop, right click on it and in the target window in the shortcut tab add RFACTOR2_64BIT to the target in the Crew Chief shortcut properties.
so it looks something like
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Britton IT Ltd\CrewChiefV4\CrewChiefV4.exe" RFACTOR2_64BIT
Then in Crew Chief in the properties section add the path to rF2 etc.

With the new ballast system do I need to add ten names for each player or will
Wrighty100:Toni
be enough?

Ballast isn't in operation for Silverstone so no need to do anything yet. If we were to add ballast on race night it would be applied to your normal name in game. So you would only need to add names if needed for the mid week practice server which TBH probably isn't worth it.
