GPL Replay Analyser v6.0 released

Hi everyone, It time for a new release of GPL Replay Analyser (GPLRA) again - version 6.0. This is release number 21(!?) since the first version was released in January 2000. :) So, what's new this time? You can now watch entire races being replayed in GPLRA. This feature will not make you faster, but is rather cool :) For full GP races this requires a lot of memory, so be patient while loading race. Screenshot: http://home.bip.net/martin/gplra/racereplay.gif We've added a new GPLRank Calculator to PB-Viewer. This calculates both the old GPLRank and the new ChallengeRank and MasterRank. Screenshot: http://home.bip.net/martin/gplra/newgplrank.gif Splittimes and Sector times are now calculated in a more detailed way, giving better precision. The traction circle included in v5.0 is hard to interpret for many people. So we've included a new experimental tool: 'Ratings' - this calculates ratings for aggressiveness, smoothness etc based on the traction circle values. Screenshot: http://home.bip.net/martin/gplra/ratings.gif (Track is Imola) You can now zoom in and out on the trackmap even though you are "playing" driving lines or races. Better performance (no/less flickering) while replaying on a full screen trackmap. And also: *Now splittime markings are not drawn when saving trackmap to BMP. *When extracting a lap to a new replay file you have the option of retaining the old file date for easier comparison over time. *The toolbar with laps to plot (buttons 1,2,3,4 and 5) are now turned off by default. This to make room for more buttons for future features. *Track creation: The new trk23dof didn't like the scientific notation in the grv file, changed this. *GPLRA will now always start on the primary monitor (on multi monitor systems) *If you try to zoom in on the trackmap too much, you now get an error message *Updated the GraphClass. Many internal changes, but not many visible ones. *Fixed these bugs: -Creation of groove crashed for some tracks, hopefully fixed. -The zoom level when you saved trackmap to BMP was wrong, fixed this. -If you did not use an alternative replay path PB-Viewer and Export Records did not check the Replay databases for times on tracks not currently installed (not installed=tracks removed both from 67season.ini and under \gpl\tracks\) For download and more information about this program, go to: http://home.bip.net/martin/gplra Mirror: http://www.bonetweb.com/grandprix/gplra/ Cheers, Martin and Jonas

Wow GPLRA is just the best Utill for any game ever. Thankyou martin and jonas for all your hard work :) :) dan "Martin Granberg" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Ehm... this may be a bad time to bring this up, but I sort of assumed you'd stopped development on GPL Replay Analyser and didn't want to bother you. Would it be a lot of work to include a "top speed" report per driver for race replays? Would be usefull to spot if a certain gearing or approach yielded better top end, especially in spec or quasi spec series (F2/FD/F3/FV/FG), or to spot calibration issues. Jan. =---

Hi Martin GPLRA is a fantastic utility which keeps getting better with each release. Great job! Thanks Gerry

Stopped development? :) Not at all, there are already changes being made to be included in versions after v6.0 :) >Would it be a lot of work to include a "top speed" report per driver for >race replays?

This is a very frequent request for some reason. We'll bump it up on the "todo" list. One problem is that warp will make such a report unreliable. One hickup from the server and the max speed will be very high. Cheers, /Martin

Hey Martin, has any one purchased N2002 for you guys yet? If not, I will volunteer so we can see a N2002 Replay Analyser :) Bill / Amish on Team Brickyard www.iracingfx.com "Martin Granberg" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Brilliant work as ever guys! I may be going mad but on the 'graph' tool - Looking at Monza laps I can't seem to get a highlighted position on the circuit map (bottom left) as I move my mouse around the various graphs. Cheers, Andy Martin Granberg wrote:

(Any chance >of being able to rewind the racing line display, though?) Probably not a rewind. The way we have implemented the driving lines (to be fast to scroll and play) means it will be hard to do a rewind. For the race replay we don't have to care about where the car was a second ago. It might happen though :) Cheers, /Martin

Never mind. > It might happen though :)<Snip> I've long since failed to be surprised at *anything* that turns up in GPLRA - when's the tea-making attachment being released? ;_) -- "After all, a mere thousand yards... such a harmless little knoll, really" - Raymond Mays on Shelsley Walsh.

Have you tried the Competition Data "Track Master" software for looking at recorded data? I believe that it can read in Pi data and is much more configurable than Pi V.6 (at least the last version I saw from a few years ago). For example you can save pages of pre-set plots on tabs. www.competitiondata.com Comp Data is located near us, but no financial connection with us. -- Doug Milliken On Thu, 11 Apr 2002, Douglas Ellison wrote:
