Silverstone: moving the start/finish

[spyderman]

Can't figure out how to move the start/finish line on the inset circuit map. Looks like I have to load a file, but what kind of file and where from? Doing the GP circuit again tomorrow and it appears all the included maps have s/f at the Wing whereas Goldtrack use the old garages.

Hi Spyderman,

As you mention, if you load in the Silvestone GP circuit in to a scene, the 'new' start/finish at the 'wing' pit area will be loaded automatically.

If you then click on your scene (away from any parameters) you should see a scene properties menu show up towards the bottom right of your screen.

In this menu, select the Lap Timing drop-down menu, and select the Load option in the Start/Finish + Splits section.

From the following pop-up menu, if you then select Load s/f line manually you can load in this attached start/finish file (spl) for the old pits.

Hope this helps, even though this will reach you too late to assist you with your event yesterday. But at least you know for next time now :)

I spent yesterday evening working on the data we collected at the Silverstone GP circuit on Sunday. Its very handy that you can open more than one file at once, meaning you can look at quite a lot of data in one place (about 20 laps in total I think). I manually placed markers for 7 sectors but wondered if there was a way to place them more accurately?

Also, as a suggestion, could you change the video start/stop to a single button (so you don't have to move the mouse) and perhaps allow the space bar to also start/stop playback?

Excellent suggestions, and noted :)

When using the start / finish wizard in circuit tools, you can zoom in on any of data by dragging the mouse from top left to bottom right around the area of interest. You can navigate while zoomed in by clicking and holding the right hand mouse button and moving the mouse.
To zoom out, draw another box, bottom right to top left.

You can also use google earth to create split point files, as shown in the attached.

Hope this is helpful :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I will enter the point about a single play/pause button which can be trigger using space bar into our discussion system. :D :D
