* Rene , here you can find my WIP 2013 pnl as you can see in the image below. The files included :

1 . All the 2102 flags which I'm not using in 2012 .
2. The F1TVStyle 2013 with the information in the right top corner ( the panel still include some not used information set in O , forget them ) with speed counter
3. The F1TVStyle which I used in my 2012 MOD
4. The pitboard ready for 2013

The resolution is 1600X900 , I hope it helps you in some way . By the way , thanks for your Gpxpatch 4.10 , absolutely fantastic .

Hi,

I've taken a look at your panels. I see you have set the area to 1600x900 with the item coordinates within that range. However, the way panels currently work is by always using a 1024x768 (let's call it resolution-independent) area, which is then scaled up to the actual resolution. The area can be limited to some area within (0,0) and (1024,768).

I realize this may not be intuitive. So I'm thinking about another way of using the area. This is my idea: Detect that the area is larger than 1024x768, and use this as the resolution-independent area. Then scale to the actual resolution in the same way as before. I will use your panels test this.

In 4.11 you will have 3 scaling modes:
- Move to edges. Scale x and y while maintaining the aspect ratio, keeping items near the edges and remaining space in the center. This is the default.
- Stretch. Scale x and y independently to cover the whole screen.
- Center. Scale x and y while maintaining the aspect ratio, centering the panel within the remaining space.

The Stretch mode is what was done before GPxPatch 4.10. The Center mode is what GPxSAT is doing now for e.g. Classic mode.
I've been thinking about more modes (move to left/top and move to right/bottom), but I think these are enough for now. I can always add them later when needed.

Next to this I saw that text items needed an alignment option. Right now they were either left aligned (with positive X coordinate) or right aligned (with negative X coordinate), but this is very clumsy of course, because it should be independent of the X coordinate. So for 4.11 I've added a text alignment option. The possible values are Default (like before, for backward compatibility), Left, Center, and Right.

Another detail, just for information: I watched last race on a channel broadcasting in 4:3 resolution, and only 4 drivers were shown at the bottom standings.

You can use 'cars per page' option i think.

hello sdi
First of all congratulations for the masterpiece of the patch, they would know when the patch is available 4:11?
thanks for the answer
good day

I'm adding more and more features to 4.11, which are not all finished yet, so I may postpone some for a later version and bring out 4.11 sooner.

hello sdi
thanks for the reply very kind, these innovations can know what they are?
the second question then this draft version of the 4.11 patch when it is released?
thanks again and sorry for the trouble
I can not wait to try this masterpiece

I can try to release it very soon, but it will lack yellow track zones and the new standings in digital 2010. I'm currently working on extending the track length limit to 19km.

Wow 19km ... why not 25,378 km :D

Its very impressive what you can do with an old game like GP4
Good job

Le Mans 24h, Nurburgring 24h.....

19km because this is 4096 segments of 16 feet. If needed, I can try to extend to 38km. But I think the limit of 2.5 x 2.5km is more restrictive

And the 2.5 km x 2.5 km are not changeable?
Thats bad :/
The 38 kilometers are a interesting point but i think 19 km in 2,5 km x 2,5 km are enough

22,8 is the length of old Nurburgring

Great news. The old nurburgring will be great if it's possible to extend the track length.

Even the straight "Döttinger Höhe" is more than 3km long. So, just shorten some parts a little, no one would mind it .

I also think, that 48 km are quite useless if we still have the 2.5 x 2.5 km square.

You ruined my dream

Hi René. First of all, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I waited for this ever since they changed the TV Overlays when LG took over.

Now I have a question: would it be possible to disable the F1 Logo in the lower left corner when in helmet cam? It kind of disturbs me when driving.

Thanks again. I love the new GPXPatch
