Setup Viewer
You may remember a while back (2010, to be exact), an iRacing member by the name of John Bell created a program that allowed you to view and compare exported
setups from iRacing. Many people found this useful, including me. You can still see the forum thread here::
Sometime in 2016, John stopped updating the program and he took it down from his website. Since I started to make a concetrated effort to learn how to
build/improve setups, I dug this tool out of my hard drive and gave it a try. Some of the fields worked but it was outdated and missing some of the new info in
the garage to to make it complete. Because of that missing info, it threw off a lot of the fields. Still ok, but not what I was wanting.
Recently, I noticed an uptick in requests for this program from members, so it seems there is interest in it again.
So, I reached out to Mr Bell to inquire about the program files and the possibility of me getting them and using this to learn about programming
(an interest of mine). Even though he is no longer a member of iRacing, he graciously gave me the files to attempt to continue his work! Over the last several
months or so, I have been working to understand how to make the updates to the files so the garage info is all there. Once I nailed that, I updated the
following iRacing vehicles:
Once I completed that list of cars, I went through and updated/verified the rest of the vehicles in my inventory:
The following have been added since the original list:
If there is a particular car you would like to see in the program, let me know and I will get it on the list to work on. However, if I do not have the car, I will need an exported setup (baseline will do) and screenshots of all of the fields in the garage for that car. Then I can get to work. Please make the request in the iRacing forum post that led you here.
To get the program, download it from the link on the left side of this page. Please let me know if there are any issues with downloads. Once you download the file, unzip it to your PC and run it, as is. There is no need to install it.
A few disclaimers... I am learning how to program! I am strictly a novice at this and may not be able to help with issues deep into the code. I have not changed the code except to remove John Bell's name per his request. Other than that I have just been able to update the reference files for each of the cars listed. I will do my best to find answers to problems should any pop up.
I am very excited about being able to give back to the iRacing community and learn how to program, which is something I've wanted to do for a long time. Since I am still using John's original code, I am still giving him credit for that, even though he did not ask for it. I feel it is the right thing to do.
As you might imagine, this has taken a bit of time and will take more time to update other vehicles. If you are appreciative of this work, please consider donating using the Donate button on the left.
Well, there you have it! Thanks for reading and trying out the app! I look forward to your feedback!
Watching NASCAR races these days, the announcers are usually mentioning who has the best 10 lap, and sometimes 20 lap average during practices leading up to the race. During my own testing, I am looking for long run speed but really had no way of easily calculating my 10 lap, 20 lap, and 30 lap averages. Sure, I could sit there and do the math long-hand but that takes a lot of time. So, Stint Average App was born!
Looking through the forums, I found David Tucker's thread about Logitech's ARX and how it was integrated with iRacing. Folks were writing Javascript applications using
the API from iRacing. I thought I could do that, and so I did. I started writing this app about 3 years ago! I have used it over those years, adding information and
updating the code. Now, I am satisfied with this current version enough to release it and hope it helps the community with their testing of setups.
The .zip file includes a Readme file to explain how to install, where to get Logitech's ARX program (no, you do not need any Logitech devices to use it), and some info on
how to use the app. More information about ARX can be found in David Tucker's forum post here.
The app records your laptimes and then averages them at 10, 20, and 30 lap intervals. This will let you know right away if the change you made to the setup made you faster over the longer run or not. The upper left hand corner indicates the track you are at, the setup name currently loaded to the car and the Track Temp in real time.
The bottom left corner tells you how many laps you've run in the session, the last lap time, your best lap time in the session and what lap number that came on. Lastly, that table tells you how many laps you've run in the current stint and the average lap time at 10 , 20, and 30 laps.
The app does not import the lap times you have already run. The laps are recorded AS YOU RUN THEM. The button labeled 'In Progress' in the picture is the reset button. So, before heading out on to the track for a stint, press the button to reset the stint. It will then say 'Ready!' and turn green. Each time you croos the S/F line, the app will record the lap time in the tables on the right.
The screensht to the left shows the Options screen in iRacing and highlights where you will select the app used by your tablet. Once selected, the app should start diplaying
info about the session. As you start to run laps, the lap charts will populate.
