GPL pit board

Can anyone tell me why the pitboard does not always come up? (and even when it does it doesn't always show my lap time) I have it set to autoshow. Anyone know if there is a way (or add-on) to show the lap timer while driving? btw, what is considered a decent time for Monaco? tia Ivan Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

However it won't pop up after your first lap since you start in the pits after the s/f line, and thus you haven't run a complete lap until your "second" lap. Results of your first complete lap aren't displayed until you are nearing the end of your 2nd complete lap.

It doesn't show up on your first outlap...however, if you finished a lap, came in before seeing the pitboard, and went out again, that lap would be shown on your outlap. -- Kirk Lane [email hidden] [email hidden] ICQ: 28171652 BRT #187 "Yeah you won't find me I'm going MIA Tonight I'm leaving Going MIA Getting lost in you again Is better than being known" -Foo Fighters, "MIA" Ivan <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8afdgs$fqi$[email hidden]... > > > Can anyone tell me why the pitboard does not always come up?

In addition to comments already made. Any time you want, you can hit F2 to take you into playback mode and see your lap time. I would like to be able to get the pitboard to come up when I wanted, and stay up as long as I wanted. I find that it pops up for to short a period to read all the info, and at some tracks you don't really want to divert your attention from the approaching corner. I'd like to have a steering wheel button that would call up the pitboard when it was convient for me, like on a long straight. [email hidden] (Ivan) wrote in <8afdgs$fqi$[email hidden]>:

... it just occurred into my mind: Is there something wrong with the Oesterreichring pit board information? Every now and then I think there has been something crazy on it. I only have to cocentrate to the first tricky right hander that much that I seldom have been able to really read and think about it thoroughly. Anybody seen something similiar? Arto

The pit board is after the start/finish line at the O-Ring (same for Brands) this causes the pitboard to display information based on the currently completed lap. The original tracks have the pit board before the start finish/line and the pit board displays information based on the previous lap. It does get a bit confusing. Dave.

So it is possible to move the pit board past the finish line for all the tracks, so that we have the current lap displayed for all tracks? [email hidden] (DLK) wrote in <zLsz4.36$[email hidden]>:

That's why at the Ring you have the current lap information, as the pitboard is past the start/finish line. Just look in your track.ini files. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

Yes it is. Check the track.ini file for this section (eg: Monza.ini in the Monza track folder):- [ pit_lane_0 ] lane_on_right = 1 ; 0 if lane on left, 1 if on right lane_has_wall = 1 ; 0 if no pit wall, 1 if pit wall exists lane_bounds_dlong = 5370.4 5715.0 ; start/end dlong of the pit lane lane_bounds_dlat = -18.3 -3.7 ; start/end dlat of the pit lane pit_board = 30.2 5440.0 -100.0 100.0 ; dlat of board, dlong of board, dlong LOS start, dlong LOS end (last 2 not used) The pit board part is where you can change the location of the board. It does take a bit of trial and error to get the board in the right place but it's not too difficult. Peter Hooper Don Scurlock <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8EF76DC47dscurlock@news...

Yes, thanks for the detail Peter. It was mentioned that it was possible, but I wouldn't have known how to do it.
