Noniin, vastaus tuli jo tänään aamulla, mutta kysäisin vielä häneltä saako keskustelun julkaista että mennään netiketin mukaan.
Grønnemann kirjoitti: 1. Option to remove lane numbers in front of the drivers name, because most tracks have color indicated lanes (This was from finslot bbs, not originally ours thought).
Possible. However one have to weight in the complexity of having even more options. I would not think that the lane number where so offensive.
2. In race mode(s) it would be better if drivers were in rank order, instead of lane color order. This could be option also if someone wants to use lane color order for some reason
I have had this request before. Personally I don’t like it, but I will have a look at it and evaluate on the pro’s and cons.
3. Track call during countdown would be nice (also from finslot bbs)
I agree. Whenever I get the time…
4. Lap times during warm up would be nice also (also from finslot)
That was actively deselected. I could reexamine the reasons why it was so.
5. In practice mode it would be much easier if you could reset laps and times with keyboard number key which corresponds lane number/color. I am aware that there is some shortcut for that but I personally think that in practice mode you don’t need secondary keys for that, just number keys.
Ok, maybe. It would then work differently in practice than in race, but maybe you have a point.
6. Race director/driver display needs scaling. At our club we had to set resolution smaller on our monitors to get window “fullscreen”. And ofc image comes blurry.
I agree. However with the graphics package used for the program there is no rubber-band scaling, so it is an awful lot of work to implement. But in principle I agree.
7. In qualification if you change font in scoreboard, all results disappear. They come back when next driver starts. Fix or some sort of warning would be good. I almost shit my pants in the last race we had.
Ok, I have a look into why the data disappear. That should not be necessary.
8. Since end users are humans and sometimes absent-minded it would be brilliant if changing type of qualification in middle of it would affect also already driven racers. (Number of laps -> laptime and vice versa)
In general you should not change such things in the middle of the race. If you do, I think it is best to leave it to humans to figure out what they are attempting to do, and clean up the mess themselves.
A programmed procedure would be fare to complex.
9. In race where are multiple heats, next drivers should update to name field when you start warm up of next heat. As a race director I had to answer constantly to question “Why there are wrong names on the screen” Yeah, they appear in next driver field, but……
If you showed the next driver the question would become “What happened to my result?” Originally several options where tried out, and we settled on this one.
10. If you press clear all in entrylist, it would be good if you got some kind of warning, "Are you sure?" or something
Debatable. Too many “Are you sure?” is real annoying. If you deleted all data in error, all you have to do is to press “Cancel”, and you are back to where you started.
I think I prefer “Recovery” rather than “Are you sure?” in this case.
Kasissa hyvä pointti. Ja jos sinne väärä mode lipsahtaa niin tuskin siinä ensimmäistä tai toista kuskia pidemmälle kerkiää mennä. Kymppiinkin tuli ratkaisu samantien.
En nyt juuri jaksanut alkaa suomentamaan. Eiköhän kaikilta jossain määrin lontoo taivu.
EDIT: Ja ysiin laitoin vielä takaisin seuraavan tarkennuksen:
Pyry kirjoitti: About 9: I don’t think that last heats drivers needs to see their result anymore when next heat is already driving warm up. BEFORE warmup it’s good to have last heat there like now.
