A few day's ago, Don Scurlock asked about the pit board being a lap behind. And I posted new numbers for Monza's track.ini to move the guy with the pit board, so that he would report the current lap time. Well I've been playing about with some of the other track's, and come up with the following. Kyalami pit_board = 9.0 250.0 -100.0 100.0 Mexico pit_board = 6.4 221.6 -100.0 100.0 Monza pit_board = 21.0 275.0 -100.0 100.0 Silverstone pit_board = 7.0 259.0 -100.0 100.0 I previously stated, that I thought that the first and second numbers, were longitude and latitude. This is complete rubbish. Sorry. I now think that the first number is how far he stand's from the track centre line. And the second number is how far past the start/finish line he stand's. If this also turns out to be complete rubbish, Sorry again. Anyway, I'll have a go at the other track's over the next week or so, but on some of the track's its a bit difficult to decide where to put him. All the track's I've done sofar, have a decent straight after the the start/finish line, most of the other track's don't. If anyone has any suggestions for any of the other track's let me know. Mark

why not just put them a little further around? just as long as they're not on your braking point they shouldn't annoy you at all, there is no reason for the board to be shown at the line, it wasn't always in 1967, not in all the teams anyway.

Many thanks Mark. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

It was almost always located within close proximity of the pits, chaps. That was, after all, the point at which the times were taken via battery of stop-watches. Times were relayed to the board man via voice, not 'phone or radio! -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Tim Wheatley <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:RJqJ4.11342$[email hidden]... > why not just put them a little further around? just as long as they're not > on your braking point they shouldn't annoy you at all, there is no reason > for the board to be shown at the line, it wasn't always in 1967, not in all > the teams anyway. > > > "Mark Aisthorpe" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:cjoJ4.872$[email hidden]... > >

I tried pit_board = 10.0 14100.0 -100.0 100.0 for Spa, which puts the little guy across the track from the pits (over the guard rail) and well past the S/F line. But the laps are still being updated before I cross! -Keith Mark Aisthorpe wrote:

Yes I've noticed that anything bellow about 200 and you still get the previous lap, Mark Keith Daniell <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I tried > pit_board = 10.0 14100.0 -100.0 100.0 > for Spa, which puts the little guy across the track from the pits (overthe > guard rail) and well past the S/F line.
