Performance Files 1994-2023 (2023 RELEASED)

If not found in the performance file, will it look for a drivers.ini? Otherwise performance editors are going to struggle :/

Yes, it looks in the performance file first. If not found there, it looks in the drivers.ini specified in gpxset.ini. And if not found there either, it looks in gpxpdata\drivers.ini.

Sounds good

Thank you for updating!
Can you please fix two files: Albert Park & Sepang? There are only three lines in these files. This looking bad! Thank you!

@alex-139
downloaded it myself and everything looks ok! perhaps a corrupted download? does anyone else have this problem?

@SDI
good to know, i will try to implement it into the next version (probably after Hungary). am i right to suppose it is not going to mess up with older gpxpatch versions?

@kedy89
as promised, i corrected the spelling mistakes and re-uploaded the file (i hope i didn't forget anything!)

Yes, older GPxPatch versions will simply ignore it.

I downloaded it again, but the problem still exists. Here is a screen.
Albert Park

@alex-139
there seams to be an issue with CR-LF, i have edited, saved and re-uploaded the files once again, i hope it works for you now!

@SDI
according to your example
"First Driver=5,Michael Schumacher,16440,512,15889,512,DE,MSC"
i read:

[*] no blanks between the fields
[*] nationality comes first, name abbreviation follows

further i assume that if an entry is omitted, gpxpatch is going to check the drivers.ini.

are all of the following valid formats?
"First Driver=5,Michael Schumacher,16440,512,15889,512,,MSC"
"First Driver=5,Michael Schumacher,16440,512,15889,512,DE"
"First Driver=5,Michael Schumacher,16440,512,15889,512,DE,"
"First Driver=5,Michael Schumacher,16440,512,15889,512,"
"First Driver=5,Michael Schumacher,16440,512,15889,512,,"

is there any other info you plan to add into the performance file?
(for example team nationality: Name=RedBull,Renault,AT)

All your assumptions are right, except that you have to use "" instead of an empty country. And don't end a line with a comma. So valid formats are:

First Driver=5,Michael Schumacher,16440,512,15889,512,DE,MSC
First Driver=5,Michael Schumacher,16440,512,15889,512,"",MSC
First Driver=5,Michael Schumacher,16440,512,15889,512,DE
First Driver=5,Michael Schumacher,16440,512,15889,512

I'm using scanf to parse it, and if "" is not used then it parses the country as ",M"

I put the country first because it is usually a known value for every driver, while name abbreviations are optional (GPxPatch can generate them for you).

Yes, this is actually what i expected, so i can give it a go!
As you said, the country is a known value, so the most used formats will be

First Driver=5,Michael Schumacher,16440,512,15889,512,DE,MSC
First Driver=5,Michael Schumacher,16440,512,15889,512,DE

Thank you very much for update! Now it looks good!

TESTERS NEADED!!

First attempt to include country code and 3-digit abbreviation of the driver name into the performance file for use with the newest gpxpatch version!

I have uploaded a generic performance file GenericPerformance2013_TEST
It contains two versions, ANSI (i.e. Raikkonen) and UTF-8 (i.e. Räikkönen).
I would like to have them tested in a variety of windows installations, with different versions of gpxpatch, with or without CSM.

I am not asking for one person to do multiple testing with altering configurations.
If everybody tests them once with his/hers current system configuration, that would produce enough data to make a conclusion.
Any comment on that would be much appreciated.

Win7, GpxPatch 4.22, CSM

ANSI worked fine, UTF-8 didn't. Flags and 3-digit abbreviation were correct, but the full names looked like below.

GPxPatch only supports ANSI. But ANSI supports Räikkönen, so it shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't want to use Chinese characters.

This is exactly the same behavior as by me, so, if there are not any other problems reported till after the Hungarian GP, i will release then an update, as usuall in ANSI format, including country code and 3-digit abbreviation of the driver name for the whole season up to Hungary (including pre-season and young-driver testing).

Many thanks to all who helped by testing the files!
