Some people have been noticing that rFactor kills all the hotkeys for external applications. This meant that it was not possible to control a media player to have music in-game. This plugin is an answer to this shortcoming. It will make it possible to control Winamp from within the game.
This is an early version of this plugin, which means that several features have not yet been implemented. There might be bugs and impracticalities associated with it. Please let me know if you have found any bugs, if there's features you would like or if there's something you'd like to be changed, for example the exact hotkeys, or new hotkeys etc. Unfortunately the default Winamp hotkeys use the same keys that rFactor uses for changing view, so I had to map the hotkeys for controlling the plugin to other keys. It is unfortunately not possible to use this plugin to control Winamp from the in-game menus, you have to be on-track.
