• Added new Time Trials manager for non-DEDI version (optional).
  • Time Trials are available for non-DEDI mode only. Its a way to compare your multiple race runs of the same distance on the same track. Cars might be different on every run. Time Trial is structured similar to championship. You can create several events with different tracks in one Time Trial. Then add Race logs to event.
  • Conditions when adding log files to event are: xml file must contain driver with a name matching the one you provided when creating Time Trial, and all Race runs for event must have the same length in laps and done on the same track.
  • For example, you can create Time Trial with "Endurance TT" name and add your player name. Then create several events with names of tracks, like "Spa", "Imola", etc. Then run several races at Spa offline, with or without AI, with the same or different cars, but all races 10 laps long. Then add all this race logs to Spa Time Trial event you created. You will see Results and Laps tables on event page, where you can easily compare overall run time, best lap times, sectors, top speed (for LMU), fuel and tire wear, consistency between race runs.

 

Nice one. I love the tool and these screens look fantastic. I'll have to dive in and explore in the morning. Cheers Nibo

Wait...what? This seems like what I have been dreaming of my entire life! Detail analysis PLUS HISTORY!!! Man, how nice it would be to use a single tool instead of multiple tools. Yes! I'm going to be all over this tonight!

Thanks, Nibo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Walked straight in the door and right past my wife and kids as if they weren't there and straight to the man cave and BAM! Yes! LOVE it! I will now live in your SW. So nice to have history and stats together. Thanks again

 

I`m glad that its useful

 

I'm not sure a lot of people know about it... Or this section of the forum.

Well, after having a good play with it, I must thank you greatly. It's nothing less than fantastic across the board.
I love statistics so any expansion in that area would be most welcome, but aesthetically and functionally, it's perfect.

Do I need to concern myself with the backing up the database, maybe an import/export function on that?

 

App itself offers only representation of your rFactor2\UserData\Log\Results folder. So, to not loose anything you can make backup of this folder regularly.

 

Just in case you are looking for possible enhancements it would be great if possible to highlight my name wherever it appears of course you would have to ask for and store my real name and alias in order to identify me in the data. Any cross-session views for a combo would be great too. For example, I'd like to compare the number of drivers, MY GridPos (again would require you to know who I am) my Pos, my BestLapTime, my total race time (without having to do gap math), the SessionBestLapTime for the session I just completed to prior sessions with the same combo. Combining all this with personal best result and personal best time and lap record into a view like the Session Summary described here...

http://professionalsimracing.com/20...-summary-with-simresults-net-filter-by-combo/

... with ability to drill/link to session detail would be epic.

 

I already know users real name and nick name from player.json file. So, you should see your name highlighted in bold in results tables.
I will think about special view to compare all sessions with similar car/track. Can not promise when or if I`ll succeed to do this.

 

Ah Ok sorry not sure how I missed name highlighting. Thanks.

 

I don't have the tool with me right now but is there a way to see my personal best lap time and personal best race result and whether I set a new personal best?

 

Not explicitly. But if you set your personal lap record today, then in "track records" this track will be at the top of the list and you will see red label "today" near this lap record, making it easy to see new lap records.
May be I`ll add label "new lap record" in results viewer somewhere...

 

Thanks for your tool, works fine and a very convenient way of storing and perusing lap times.

 

Ah sorry I assumed lap record could be someone else's time so if is my PB then perfect.

 

Thanks Nibo for your tool, it seems do and show everything possible. cheers

 

So it builds an array each time it loads?

rFactor2 Log Analyzer ver. 2

Sounds like it stores data but nothing extra so if you back up your xml files you are good. b/c it can reload them anytime like it does the first time if there is an issue and files are corrupted or lost. So the refresh only brings in new xml files but you probably delete the database or something in the event of an issue and it will load everything again or something like that.

 

I`ve decided basic principle for app to be mirroring/representing users UserData\Log\Results folder. Because else, it may become a mess and mismatch between what you see in analyzer list (and lap records) and what you have in your folder.
But for optimization I parse all .xml files when you first start the program and store them already parsed in db. Then on every call to "Results viewer" page I show list of already parsed .xml files.

Short answer is yes, it works like a real time representation, but with some caching for speed. But you still have to press "refresh" button to load new .xml files and to check if any of them were deleted to provide synchronization (this is also for speed, so that on every page call it didn`t traverse log folder).

 

Sweet design
