    Sorry for asking so many questions, but lack of specifications in Internal Plugins is killing me :(

    mPos, which contains x, y and z properties apparently indicate the world position in meters.

    My question is how to translate these values to draw them on the screen. I think they must be relative to something and I need to create some formula.

    Also, are the track maps provided by ISI or I need to make them?

    Thanks!!!

    Example values of one snap-shot:

    There is no easy way of getting the ISI track map details, so you need to create a map yourself. Basically you collect a set of co-ordinates for a lap then you can save them to be used for every lap on that circuit. You can then plot the car position over the same co-ordinates.

    Your concept worked perfectly ;) I threw 20 AI on Sebring track and they drew the map for me :) I still need to polish it but its great for a first run. Was done in minutes really.

    Cheers mate for your tip!

    Thanks :) Yes, I'll help you no problem mate. I am not sure if my way is the best way, but it works

    Here it goes. So I have defined some variables for each track and save them in the database (or wherever you want)

    zoom_factor_x //this variable zooms in/out the x position. I use 0.3 to 0.4 roughly with 600px
    zoom_factor_y //this variable zooms in/out the y position. I use 0.3 to 0.4 roughly with 600px
    screen_height //map image height in pixels. eg 600px
    screen_width //map image width in pixels. eg 600px
    offsetX //this value moves the x co-ordinate to the left or right of the image. It can be +ve or -ve in pixels. usually is 0
    offsetY //this value moves the y co-ordinate up or down of the image. It can be +ve or -ve in pixels.

    I try some different values for each map as shown on my link.

    Then the formula to draw pixel on image/canvas is:

    //Posx is the value from the plugin
    //Posz is the value from the plugin


    screenX = zoom_factor_x * (Posx) + screen_width / 2 + offsetX;
    screenY = zoom_factor_y * (-.Posz) + screen_height / 2 + offsetY;

    NOTE! I am using Posz and not Posy from the plugin file.

    Hope this helps you. Let me know if you need more info :)
