Can't wait - and thank you very much

This is fu****** awesome. I can't wait for that.

Nice to see you are improving the old modes. Thanks.

Very nice work so far indeed

In GPxSAT I want to make 'S' toggle between speed traps, time to car ahead, and time to car behind. Currently, it toggles between speed traps and time to other car, with 'V' for toggling between car ahead and behind. Digital 2010 mode doesn't have speed traps, and 'V' already applies to the car positions (which can be shown at the same time). Are there any objections against this?

Nope, none at all One thing I did think of though, when the order comes up on the left hand side, usually it shows the first 3 initials of the drivers surname, but in some cases there are exceptions to this. (For example, Montoya was always MOY) Would there be any way to make these customisable..? Just something to think about

Yeah it would be interesting to know how the new graphics actually generate the initials. Is it as simple as taking the first three initials of the drivers surname in the performance file?

Can I also just say how great it is to have you back in the community Rene, and many thanks to you and to Daniel for these new timing graphics. I think they are gonna be hugely appreciated by the whole of the community.

I believe that is how it is done unless there is an exception i.e. MSC, RSC. Might be best to allow people to add custom ones similar to how rfdynhud has the three_letter_codes.ini.

Random fact >>

At some point in 2006, there was :

Montoya - MOY
Monteiro - MON
Montagny - MOT

Classic mode's font looks better with the shadow. Would this font be available when GPxPatch is updated with Digital 2010?

And also, can we have a screen of the Digital 2010 in GP3? Would like to see how it looks.

Yes it will.

Ahh, I'd forgotten Montagny! Cool factoid there

Thanks Ferrari2007, it's also good to be back (although I don't know for how long).

The 3 characters are created this way now:
1. Take the first 3 characters from the last surname
2. For each other surname, insert the first character at the front
3. For each duplicate, use the first character of the first name, or the 2nd etc. until unique

Examples:
- Jenson Button = BUT
- Michael Schumacher = MSC (if Ralf would be there too, else SCH)
- Ralf Schumacher = RSC (if Michael would be there too, else SCH)
- Guido van der Garde = VDG
- Juan Pablo Montoya = MON ('Pablo' is hardcoded to be not accepted as last name)

When MON is not unique, as is the case with Montoya, Monteiro, and Montagny, then it becomes:

- Juan Pablo Montoya = JMO
- Tiago Monteiro = TMO
- Franck Montagny = FMO

After reading your posts I realize there should be an extra step between 2 and 3, replacing the third character with a unique one from the surname. But which is used will depend on the order of the drivers. So it Monteiro could become MON, MOT, or MOE. Montoya could become MON, MOT, or MOO. And Montagny could become MON, MOT, or MOA.

So, if you want MOY for Montoya, then I need to read the custom three_letter_codes.ini. If an example of this file could be sent to me I'd appreciate it, so I can use the same format.

About the shadowed font: the font itself is not shadowed, I just draw the text 2 times, once in black at offset +3,+3, and then again in white. I only do this in GPxSAT Classic mode. If this should be more general I could have a setting in the fonts.ini so it draws the shadow for any font that has it enabled (+3,+3 offset can be one of the settings, others can be shadow color and transparency).

Digital 2010 will look the same in GP3 as it looks in GP4.

Edit: manually entered list bullets, BBCode doesn't seem to work.

Is there no section name? (e.g. [Codes]).

Nope.

I can't see how that format would work, unless the names are identical to the perf file?

P.s. Hulkenberg is spelt wrong! Surely unless it's spelt wrong in the perf file it won't be picked up..? o.O

Not every keyboard in the world has got a 'ü', so I think he used 'ue' instead .
