What is NASCAR4 Replay Analyser?
================================
NASCAR4 Replay Analyser is a program with which you can load up your
NASCAR4 replays and analyse/compare driving lines and different kinds
of "telemetry" plus generate race and practice reports.

The analysing part is mostly for drivers seeking to get quicker and
smoother, the report part is mainly for league organizers and
statistics freaks.

Furthermore you'll find lots of different tools and features in
NASCAR4 Replay Analyser, see below for more details. But first some
screenshots:

Overview of Replay file -

Track map/driving lines - http://www.racesimcentral.net/
Telemetry graph - http://www.racesimcentral.net/
Example report extract - http://www.racesimcentral.net/
Lap Finder - http://www.racesimcentral.net/
Graphical Race Report -

Main features in NASCAR4 Replay Analyser are:

Trackview with:

*Zoomable trackmap showing road and surrounding grass, gravel traps
etc
*Drawn racing lines for different drivers/laps
*Playback feature for playing the replays in "realtime" (driving
lines+telemetry).
*Split times
*Print support
*Export trackmap to bitmap

Telemetry graphs:

*Zoomable graphs with speed, time, slip angle, revs (RPM) and gear.
Graphs are always shown in relation to distance(meter).
*Possibility to plot time difference between two drivers, making it
easy to see exactly on what part of the track you gain/loose time.
*Attached trackmap indicating what part of the track currently is
being marked with the mousepointer.

Reports:

*Practice reports
        - Practice results
*Qualifying reports
        - Qualifying results
*Warmup reports
        - Warmup results
*Race reports
        - Race results
        - Fastest lap table
        - Highest climber table
        - Black flag lap statistics
        - On Track table
        - Leadchanges and leaders statistics
*Lap Charts
        - Lap Charts for all drivers laps
        - Indication if the driver were off track during the lap etc
*Lap by lap reports
        - A text report describing the race from start to finish
          including overtaking info, off track info etc
*Complete reports (all the above)
*Flag reports
        - List information and statistics about yellow flags in the
race
*Graphical Race Reports
        - Race and LapByLap reports combined and shown as a picture.

*All reports are printable and can be exported to file.

Other stuff - such as:

*Information about all drivers and their laps in a given replay
*See if a driver was off track at any time on a particular lap
*Lap Finder which scans all your replays for a given
track/game-mode/session. Good for finding your fastest laps.
*Gear Change Analyser including "Speedshifter detection"
*Automatic detection for incorrect online(warp) laptimes.
*Sector Times with theoretically fastest laptime.
*etc

Ran it quickly on one if our 500 mile league races and some of the report
data seems a bit suspect, i.e. incorrect.
Overall a good idea, just needs some work I think or maybe the large size of
the replay caused some issue (400mb+)

If you think you've found a problem, let us know via the email in the
readme and we'll get back to you.

Being a rather complex program I am sure there are bugs, but we'll try
to iron them out :)

Cheers,

I have been trying to figure out how to save a replay of that size. Any help
would be greatly appreciated

Well I know that Win98 can't play a replay that big so I doubt it would save
it either.
You may need Win2000.

Is there anyway you can make it show the replay videos as well, so we don't
need to open N4 or does it need the engine to render them?  I assume it
does.

Why can't win98 play it?  Improper use of memory?

I guess.  I just know from recent experience that it has a problem with
large replay files where 2000 doesn't

Schooner,

Any idea when it becomes "big"?  I've run 200MB replays through 98 without a
problem.
