The online racing simulator
Automatic timed sessions
Hello!

Since I am planning on another league, I was wondering if anyone is interested in making a small InSim application for me.

I want to make sure that the practise, qualifying and race sessions start at exactly the right times. The best thing to do this is to make it automated. I figured out it takes 4 seconds from pressing shift+R to the screen going black and the session starting. How long it takes from the black screen to the actual sessions depends on the latency, but let's ignore this for now.

Therefore the application has to "press" shift+R at 19:59:56, when the race starts at 20:00 (and shift+Q for qualifying).

Since there is a clock in LFS already, the program doesn't need to show that. But, it would be very helpful if it would show for example a "5 minutes before race starts" message, and maybe a few more.

The only thing I don't know how to realise is how to automaticly go from a practise session to a qualifying session, but I think there are commands for that? Or maybe it would be possible to get it to the entry screen first, and then automaticly set the right qualifying time and race laps.

I would really appreciate it if someone wants to help! Thanks in advance.
You should take a look on LFSLapper by Gai-Luron, it has timed restarts included as far as i know.
Thanks! After a lot of trying it finally works. I can now set a whole calendar for the next season if I want to. Thanks!

Only 1 thing tho. I deleted all irrelevant stuff from the LFSLapper.cfg file. But when I start LFSLapper now, it says: "Parameter PB on AutoAction contact admin Server" in LFS behind the host his name.

I probably deleted 1 wrong line, but is there a way to get rid of this?

Thanks.
Hi Darkone55,

Just download a new copy of lapper ( same version) or in the /bin is a copy of LFSLapper.lpr and you have a new config file.
Copy your part's in it and you have a new working one.
Lapper needs the most line's you can switch some function off by putting a # infront of the line.

You can alway's PM me.
I think it works fine now. Thanks!
