Awsome work ... keep going ...

"Down by the bay ..."

It is going to be flip fest ... tough demanding track!

I am using McAfee for AV purposes. When I try to install or use Flipcams it jsut deletes flipcams.exe ... so I'd say it is ultra intrusive. any fix coming?

I used AIRIO on one of our servers for a, AU1 layout but it went kind of crazy. It seemed like it was keeping two different time tables. !top was retrieving alternate sets of data. I could not establish when one or the other would show up but it was very weird .. ideas?

That explains a lot ...

I actually had a few glitches while trying out this setup ... some buttons disapearing and whatnot. but in the end the one I had in the pic worked.

Ha, nice! It is good (and a bit surprising in fact) to see that Relax/Aonio local buttons are not clashing, or at least not apparently. Meanwhile Aonio 0.9.2 displays in the field list for a few seconds last lap times of all drivers, so this info is available about every driver, though (due to multi-purpose buttons) only for some 8 seconds...

Well that's just because both apps give you enough flexibility with button placement to be able to make them fit.

Great to see more development.

I thought I'd share my current setup to give you more ideas:



As you can see I am only using the field panel from Aonio ... here's why ...

One of the great features of Relax is that you can set the size of the text of the buttons. I found Aonio buttons too small. having bigger buttons lets me see the info quicker.

On the panels for previous and following cars, besides the size of the text I also like I can see the previous lap's time for my opponents.

As for timing and stats I went w/ Relax buttons because I can see all splits for the lap and the colors (that stay) allow me to have a quick idea how my lap is going compared to my pb.

I love Aonio's field panel! the colors on the splits are great to see the progress (or lack of) on opponents. and the pit info is critical for longer races. Also, having it allows me to keep the tyre temp buttons up while still seeing the field. I moved it to the left because on the right it would block the F12 and F11 info critical for longer races.

Hope this helps and spawns more ideas and improvements.

I absolutely LOVE the new panel!!

I have a Q. What happens when the guys in front or behind are laps ahead or behind? what do the time difference numbers show?

Thank you for the new panel!!

Downing and testing ...

Hi! Yes, that's what I know is necessary. In fact it is my intention to release it as open source soon, at the latest on version 1.0 which should be the first non-beta version. The slight problem is it depends on an external InSim library, Aegio, and I'm not sure code of this library is ready to be opened, mostly because it is not documented. On he other hand opening Aegio, which is quite thoroughly tested and complete, with many helper functions, could help programmers to get started quick...

Open Source rules!!

It's good to hear sounds work for you now. As for the frequency of signals see my previous post here, last paragraph. And about the glitches you mention... wow, you're doing strange things. The primary objective is to make Aonio work reliably and understandably under standard racing conditions, that is without AIs, in multiplayer, live action.

Got it on the frequency ... <note to self: READ> ...

I understand it not working with AI's ... or MPR's for now ...

On further review the sounds seem to work (I have to test some more with more cars). how often do the warnings sound? I could not test that.

However I found a few possible glitches ... the sounds nor the spotter work with AI's.

The spotter works on replays but not the sounds.

The sounds stopped working when going from single player mode to multiplayer ...

I'll keep digging.

just tested ... seems to work fine on info ...

but the sounds dont work for me ... (I would recommend looking at what the pitspotter does on LFSRelax, that is the best I've seen)

Interesting ... downloading ...

So ... these ideas precede the creation of LFS Relax? ...

I have an idea for you to consider ... will PM ...

Quote from banshee56 :

CoRe Racing has been using a server from Alien Serve (thanks Simon!) for a month now, and the service and server have been great!

Have these servers been used in the LOTA series?

mmhh how about just using Mozilla Prism .. look it up!

All great additions to LFSW!

I have one more suggestion. I am trying to find all the demo users from my country to invite them to a championship but It is not easy.

Perhaps adding a filter for the type of license to the LFS Racers Search would be helpful:

Great thanks!

I'll try to download again.

Quote from VoiD :

That would be realy awesome, but AIRIO doesnt support this... :sorry:

mmhhh Yes it does ... Here's a quote from the Airio Manual ...

Quote :

!len [–96÷+96]

This command accepts values from –96 to +96. It is used for setting up race length. Positive values are simply laps to be done. Using zero turns the server into practice mode. Using negative values sets race length in minutes. The race is then for set number of minutes plus one lap. This nice feature uses a little trick: By specifying negative value you in fact set racing for that number of hours, but Airio is checking the elapsed time whenever leader enters new lap and once the total time in minutes is larger than race length in hours, one more lap is added and race is turned into normal one for set number of laps.

• !len 5 – race length will be set to 5 laps.
  

• !len -25 – the race will be for 25 minutes plus one lap, confirmed by race control message at the start.
  

To switch between races for minutes and laps you must use this command. Specifying simply /laps=5 after race for minutes will not suffice, because Airio must renew last used minute setting just before the race start and it will ignore currently specified number of laps.

The link on your download page is not working ... can you fix pls. I want this one

http://lfs.thefloatingwidget.n ... AU1_Martinsville75%25.lyt

I tried to use it last night on an official race BUT ... I couldn't ....

I found that the car telemetry does not work sometimes. The app seems to be very particular as to when it is started: before the race? before choosing a car? on the lobby? It seems to work 1 out of 5 times for me. It would be great if you could turn it on whenever and it just worked.

Also I did notice an increase in temp on my laptop when using this app.

mmhh

It does connect for me ...

Quick suggestion ... why not limiting the races by time instead of laps .... 5 laps of Aston GP is good but 5 laps of Aston cadet is a demolition derby waiting to happen ...

If you set Airio to do say ... 15 min races the number of laps would be adjusted ... and I think 15 min for a race is a good length ...

just my $0.02 ...

I have a suggestion for the app ...

I know right now the size of the window is fixed but it would be great if it could be adjusted like a regular window or if at least there were options for a few standard resolutions.

This would be very useful for people using it in alternate monitors like a PSP which has a resolution of 480*272 ... or if it were to run on the same monitor as LFS but on a smaller window.

Just a thought.

If I download the full install and install OVER my current Z25(test patch) version .. would I mess things up?
