RaceTools v2.88

This is an optional update with some bug fixes but mostly minor tweaks to the interface to make it a little easier to use.

 

Enhancements:

  • Add Delete Log Files button to General Configurations tab to delete old log files from LogPath
  • Add Delete Session Files button to General Configurations tab to delete old ABS and BIN files from the DatabasePath
  • Add Export/Import Settings to Layout menu to package application settings files into a zip file to easily export them to another instance or machine, and import them by unzipping the file to the program folder.
  • Add RelativeLocation to Custom Popups (formerly Clocks) to tie their position to the track map if the Link To Trackmap option is selected for the popup. Allows relocating the track map and linked popups as a single unit by moving the map.

 

Bug Fixes:

  • Fuel Resetting at SF line without a pit stop if the previous lap FuelUsed was not set, or if the CurrentLap count was already incremented before the FuelUsed was updated.
  • Change StrToDate function to use fixed date format to decouple the decoding from the computer settings.
  • Fix Competitor.SF setting
