This is a maintenance upgrade and offers a few refinements to the software as requested by our users.
For IndyCar, one of the most common errors and frustrating parts of the software was making sure the correct map was loaded and the correct SF line was configured for the race and alternate start/finish lines. The latest version makes use of the newly added $U message and it’s control line designator (*) to identify the lap counter line for each session. With this information, RaceTools can now compare the settings to make sure the correct timeline is used for the SF and SFP lines, and if required, shift the trackmap to the alternate SF line. Now you can just load the race map and not have to switch between session types and let the software do the change for you.
Other minor changes are listed below:
v2.68
2018 07 22 – fix LineCrossingLog lap calculation
– add ValidateTrackMap to trackmap to check for correct SF/SFP timelines (use IndyCar RP $U to determine SF/SFP lines)
– automatically switch between SF and Alt SF for IndyCar series when $U RP messages available.
v2.67
2015 07 16 – add parsing for $M Manufacturer Points: messages, store in SessionInfo.ManufacturerPoints
– add Manufacturer Points to Clock types

– check LiveSections Column Width when updating column titles. Make sure column titles can be seen.
– eRMON filter out duplicate $L messages
v2.66
2015 06 29 – update StartStint and EndStint to use Telemetry.ElapsedTime-Session.StartTime for actual Elapsed Time instead of TOD, fixes Drive Times report
2015 06 27 – implement setMinimumPitStopTime to update minpitstoptime within PitLaneMonitor

v2.65
2015 06 22 – move code to GenerateSectionTimes to routine in TASDB module
2015 06 21 – optimize calculations to use objects instead of database – reduce calculation time from 17s to 0.06s
