tournament was splitted into races)

slot cars, and group them into teams
- UR30 manages now starting positions. There is one starting pos per
lane in an analogue circuit, one or more starting pos per lane in a
digital circuit

screen

- race event settings (including driver & slot car
selection) can
be stored in the database before the race event starts
- staggered races replaced by round robin race events => the
starting lights are now managed when drivers change lanes
- selection of racing pos allowed. Eg.: a race event can be setup only
on 3 lanes over 4 on a 4 lane circuit
- new sounds managed: deslot sound, heat description (spoken)
- CircuitName object for custom racing panes
- race event heat display enhanced: new driver/heat grid + new lane
(starting pos)/heat grid

UR30 .29 racing engine has been completely rewritten to manage digital
& RC races, and be more modular to integrate quickly the tremendous
number of worldwide requests.
Many enhancements have been added in this release:
- new GUI: complete integration of the track layout editor and the race
manager
- manage
digital & RC races. Few RMS engines are managed in .29 but it's
growing. At this time: Ninco (Power Base & Multilane) & Davic.
- USB
serial port and game controller handling
- "tournaments"
renamed "races" and "races" renamed "heats"
- intermediary
lap time managed
- all heat
screens (including abort, cancellation...) can be customized at your own
with the editor
- heat
settings can be created & saved to be reused
- many more
sound options for circuit, drivers and slot cars
- Phidget
#1014
- tremendous
new race options: section management, driver pane sort, crash & burn
- pit stop
managed by two sensors or only one at your convenience
- and many
more surprises...
Many worldwide slot racers pushed me to publish this release,
eventhought I was relunctant to, but the slot car must go on! This alpha release still contains
glitches. Some of them have been raised after this
packaging completion. Some other are under integration. Opened topics:
- on-line help is out of date
- wizzards are not completed
- the report and FTP publication engine may generate defect reports
This release is the first achievement of a lot of
work. Fixes will
follow up soon. Thx for your understanding.
