Bremgarten - Problems with using Replay Analyser??

by markgam » Thu, 18 Jan 2001 07:27:53

I've recorded several sessions at Bremgarten, but the Replay Analyser
(version 3.5) says that there are no viable laps for analysis, even though
one was a full race (four laps at novice setting).

Has anyone else seen this?

Mark,

No, I've loaded a few single laps, plus a 3 lap test up fine. I'm
usiong 3.5 and the Very Hi-Res Bremgarten.

If you have GPLSpyGirl, check it with that also if it fails there
is's more likely a replay file problem.

Actually I've found something else weird. I've done two practices and two
races, and yet all four replay files are exactly 2052KB in size. Just as a
control measure I then ran a six lap race at Monza and the replay was as
expected, over 10MB. I'm using the medium size track, btw.

I used GPLSpyGirl on one and was able to extract a single driver replay. I
then went into GPL and looked at the replays. All are about two minutes
long.

So then I ran a three lap training session, which resulted in a 1438KB
replay file, and that file did have two laps which could be opened in the
Replay Analyzer. And the replay as viewed in GPL was over nine minutes in
length. So, does this mean that somehow the Bremgarten ini or *something* is
limiting that track (and only that track) to replay files of only 2MB?

Possibly the sheer size of the place (as a collection of GPL
objects).  One would assume a 20Mb .dat file (high detail
Bremgarten version) would take up at least 4 times as
much memory as a 5Mb .dat file such as Monza.  The more
memory the track takes up the less is left over for the replay.

Just a theory though, you could very well have 512Mb of
physical memory. ;-)

No, I have 128MB RAM, but I have recorded replay files of over 18MB.

I just ran another practice plus four lap race at Bremgarten, and the replay
file was again = 2052KB. Something is capping the .rpy file size, but only
for that track. This is very irritating, not being able to figure it out....

Can someone provide me with a link to a replay file for Bremgarten that is
bigger than 2MB, so I can load it and at least verify that the problem is
not from that direction?
