    There was a program for the original rFactor called VCR Merge in which you could select individual laps and combine them into 1 replay. You could visually compare the laps by watching both cars at once. Does anyone know if there is anything like that for rFactor2 or is there something in the works? It was helpful to me in improving my lap times.....not that it turned me into an alien, or anything but it helped. :)

    Thanks,

    Tom

    Thanks.
    I'd never even heard of this program.
    Does it superimpose the cars to allow viewing the different lines throughout the lap?

    It does this. It's a very handy tool for figuring out where you're leaving time on the table.

    That is without doubt, the best tool.
    I cannot believe I'd never heard of it despite running RF and now RF2.
    This is 'mega' for analysis of laps to competitors.
    It doesn't get any better.

    Yeah it really is probably the best tool ever for rF1. As an admin I used to merge all the qualy laps and I could very quickly analyze all the laps at once to see if anyone was cutting. It also has a bunch of command line options. I actually had a hotlap database for my old rF1 league where anytime someone broke a record it would use rFVCRMerge command line options to extract the hotlap from the servers full replay as soon as the session ended. Then in my hotlap website you could click on their laptime to download the replay of that lap. You can do a lot of stuff with this tool if you get creative. You can also sync at the start/finish, S1 or S2.

    I hope we see it in rF2 one day.
