Where is F2-2002 Telemetry?

Hi Experts:

   I'm running with the beautiful Hummerich car sets.  

   I'd like to try to set up for Monaco, so I start a
test session, do a couple of laps, pit, escape, car
setup, telemetry, nice charts, no data, no traces
showing any telemetry from my test session.  

   How do I turn on the collection of telemetry?  

   I've looked at the "Test Day" (Page 14), and
see nothing about turning on telemetry.  I also
don't see references to telemetry in the "Vehicle
setup" section on page 28.  

   I've installed GTR-2002.  I think I saw a
reference to a different telemetry program, but
I don't think I installed that one.  So I believe
I'm trying to use the telemetry that came with
the original package.  Should I be using the other
telemetry package?  

   Suggestions?  

                                           Thanks
                                           Larry

   You have to make sure you have the latest version of the telemetry.  It
can be dloaded from the Find the Limit website.  Make sure you get your
files from the F1 pages and not the GTR pages.  Good luck.

Thanks Dave:

   I D/L the code, works fine.  

   The capture program is started, and that program
launches F1-2002.  Can this program launch the version
of F1-2002 that uses the Hummerich carsets?  

   It's a nice carset, I like driving that so much
more than the one that came with the sim.  

   I'm still wondering about the absence of data in the
original version of the telemetry.  

   After installing and launching F1-2002 from the
telemetry program you referred to, setup's telemetry
starts with a session window, where I can select some
laps to examine.  

   Using the telemetry that came with the sim, I was
never presented with a choice of sessions when
entering the telemetry display.  But I could choose
all the charts, which had no data.  I was in some kind
of telemetry program.  

   I didn't notice any reference to launching F1-2002
from a data capture program in the F1-2002 document.  
How is the telemetry supposed to work?  Is there
something about the executable required to run the
Hummerich carset that causes telemetry to not work?  

                                                 Thanks
                                                 Larry

  probably it is just a matter of assigning the proper telemetry folder in
the config.ini file that is used by RH's carset.  A better way to think of
the Hummerich's addon is not just a carset but an actual mod.  It has the
same folder tree that is used by the mods.  So take a look at the
gtr2002config.ini file and see if there is a line that assigns the location
of telemetry.  The examine the config file for  RH's cars and try to
duplicate that.(or copy all the F1 telemetry into a similar folder for the
RH mod/carset.
