think rate times time equals distance...

so just plug r X t = d into the calculator real quick.

or am I missing something since I don't have the program?

The Dos version of GPLDump showed the output in speed against time.
The Windows version shows the output in speed against distance.
I don't know how other people feel about this, but I really like the
speed against time output a lot more. It shows perfect who reached a
corner first, with what speed, and who exits the corner first.
With the new speed against distance option this is not as clear.
GPLDump would be perfect for me if the speed against time options
would also be added...

Juha? Pleeeeeeaassseeee? :-)

Oh, and why is the oil option grayed out? Ah, don't need that option.
A perfect spot to put the speed against time option :-)

And not that important but would be really nice:
A print option...

There's the TimeDiff button, which will calculate the timedifference
and it's aligned to all the other data (speed/rpm/hand/whatever), so
you can still see where you are losing time, since the timediff
graph will go down or up when you lose or gain time.

Well the Oil output is really boring.. it's a flat line all the way,
since the oil pressure doesn't have time to drop at all even under
hard braking.. only if you come to a stop on the track for a while,
it will start to drop. I'll activate it though on the next release :-)

You can always press Alt-Printscreen on that graph window and
paste it into Paint and print it from there :-)
But if it's not too big a deal, I'll add the print option to
the graph window.

Yes, the TimeDiff button is a very nice option, but I find the dos
speed against time output clearer to read. Just my personal taste...
It's nice to see the red line dropping a little bit sooner than the
green line, and then seeing the red line raising faster than the green
line, indicating that sometimes it's better to brake a little earlier
for a faster exit.
And with the TimeDiff option I can also see this, but in my mind it's
not as clearly as the DOS output...

Um... could somebody please let me know what GPLDump is?

An add-on for GPL I am unaware of?
