GPLDUMP 0.7.6 RELEASED!

Hello again!

I just can't help myself.

As usual, grab at http://www.racesimcentral.net/~kaltsi/

WHAT's NEW?

 0.7.6 (16-Dec-1999)
 + Added a new race graph type: "Passing graph", which will show
   position changes after each lap. Good for writing race reports :-)
 + Added export functionality to the telemetry data. It's not much,
   but could possibly be useful for someone.
 + Fixed evil bugs.

I didn't have time to test it yet (I'm at my work) but that export
function could be very handy. With the old DOS GPLDump you could
compare more than two replays at once, now if I can export the files
to Excel I can do that again... great.

There is only one thing I really would like to see in GPLDump. I would
like to see it displayed just as it was displayed in the DOS version.
It was time x distance I believe?

Not really.

You can make the race graphs from replays like that, but you can't
look at the telemetry from multiplayer replays.

Greger,

You can't possibly need GPLDump, can you?

Your replays (and Wolfgang's) are the ones everyone uses as their reference
laps. :)

Thanks for posting your replays and setups.

Donnie

It helps sometimes when I'm stuck doing similar laptimes and can't
seem to go faster. I download someone else's replay and sometimes the
setup and compare the laps with Dump and Spygirl to see in which part
of the track I'm slower.

Usually I can improve my laptimes after doing this.

It's my pleasure. I hope they help at least someone. :)

But why, oh, why, doesn't it show a graph for braking?

 I've wondered about that myself.  Wouldn't it be great to see how/where/how
much the really fast guys break?  How about it Juha?

Sorry but that info isn't saved in the replay files, so it's pretty
hard to display :-) Neither is the gas pedal position.

You took the words right out of my mouth.  So, what do do when you're slow
EVERYWHERE?  And multiple practice laps doesn't help?

Read books about car behaviour (Carroll Smith's books are really
good), watch racing videos, watch replays of other drivers, compare
your laps with record laps using GPLDump and Spygirl, download
different setups and try which one suits you the best, read the superb
trackguides at http://lightsoutracing.simplenet.com, read everything
at riccardo nunnini's site, and ehhh.... practice.

Your laptimes are really below average (no offence, I'm not that good
either) but since you post here so much I guess you drive a lot in
GPL, you really should start to improve over time.
The Ring for example, I just read you are still in the 11 minutes. How
much do you drive there? Do you know the track by memory? The most
important thing is that you race without driving the car off the road.
Try to drive a little bit slower in the corners which you have
difficulties with, focus more on staying on the track. If you can
drive on the ring without having to use shift-r, driving below 10
minutes should be no problem anymore.

Of all the above tips, I think reading the circuit guides at
http://lightsoutracing.simplenet.com is the best tip, it really helped
me a lot. All the track guides are there, and the writer just started
writing the guide for the Ring, that should be completed in a couple
of weeks.

Good luck, don't give up.

You just have to find out where you're losing the most time. Braking,
in the corner, or exiting the corner. Then try to work on that. What
wheel are you using?

Know the 'Ring by MEMORY?!?  I don't think that's even possible...
No, to answer your question. <g>

Yep, my laptimes are too low - no offense taken.  My PB at Monaco is lower than
the average for *F3*'s...<sigh>
