Telemetry Zone (A new project idea)

Hi, a few days ago I started work on a new racing sim project, this will involve me running a ftp server which will allow users to share telemetry, setup & replay files submitted by sim racers for f1 2001, 2002, gp3, gp4 & gpl. Rather than expecting users to install and learn to use an ftp client (if they dont know how to) I am also working on a simple to use downloading & uploading app in Visual Basic, at the moment it is functional but still has no error checking, I may require several people to carry out some beta testing at a later stage. The whole project will be fully up and running in approx 2 weeks. So what do you think?, a good idea, or not? Any other suggestions? mail me at [email hidden]

I hope so. But what I would really like is to have the full telemetry so I can see what inputs the really good drivers use vs mine. With the_best stuff all I can get is the line and speed (which is VERY useful) but I would love to see where the throttle application is different and so on. But I don't want to use some visual basic thing - I would much rather ftp stuff. - or at least have a perl script or something (not that I am religious or anything :-) --- Bill

the visual basic app a simple ftp client anyway so if anyone wanted to ftp stuff instead it would be a prob as ftp access details will be available on the under construction website.
