Drawing tracks for live timing

Some time ago, Biker gave me the solution to draw the tracks from points. Now i have a tool to make the drawing in C# reading from the AIW file, but although i have give a thousand of thinkings over this file, dont know how to get the initial point (start position).

Can anyone help me please?
 
thx for reply Lazza. What i want to know is if there is something to remark what is the start point. I have made a routine in C# that draws tracks from wp_pos but cant find how the AIW says what is the initial point or start


do you know what i mean?

thx again!
 
Ah lol

As far as bringing it back to proper timing (sectors etc) use wp_score - it specifies the sector and the total lap distance to that point.

You may also use WP_PTRS as a reference (first 2 values are previous and next waypoint, which gives a pretty good clue what the current one is ;)) but in rF1 at least there were a LOT of variations that sometimes made it tricky to draw a map if you relied on it. Unfortunately when a platform like rFactor allows people to experiment and still make it work, people feel a need to ditch the ISI examples and go their own way.

But starting with those, and looking at the values in a couple of tracks, you should be able to cater for pretty much anything you find.
 
Cool :)

I did similar for a live timing page, had to wrestle with a few AIWs in rF1 especially with the pitlane (I've got dots representing all the cars), but can get it good enough. Must admit I haven't bothered with rF2, don't want to go there until the AIW is always available.
 
Hi Lazza
Do you share some code to read the aiw structure file, because I would like to draw the inner and outler track line .
I would like draw the center line and extrapole the external line with the track width.
Thanks

Start to found "[Waypoint]"

In the main loop read

"wp_pos" //world Position (x,y,z) ; y is the Height!
"wp_perp" // perpendicular vector (x,y,z)
"wp_width" //width of track (road_left, road_right, far_left, far_right) read only road_left and road_right
"WP_PTRS" //to control waypoints (prev_wp, next_wp, branch_id, pathbranch_wp) if pathbranch == 0 --> main path(track)

Read Next waypoint the same way

The vector calcs (in C# need to know how to use vectors)

Road_left_pos= wp_pos + (-wp_perp*road_left)
Road_right_pos= wp_pos + (wp_perp*road_right)

With this points can create a shape.
 
thanks a lot mario and spaskis...i have developed an app for draw but not in your way to draw (i think yours is better...i will give a chance and try to get it) :-)
 
didnt know about the existence of that class...i read the aiw looking for wp_pos and then painting circles to get a track...i will take a look to that class mate...thx!
 
Hi SPASKIS,

I've shown your work! I'm sure that you've wrote a script for this purpose, can you please post it??
The language of your code will not be a problem, I've some experience with different languages.
Just for info I will to write a script like yours (using Matlab), but I'm not confident with .aiw files.

Thanks

I didn't write any script. I made an excel file. Some posts before you can see the formulas that were used.
