Here my feature requests.

Post by manucc1º »

Hello.

Here my feature requests.

- ICloud server supports instead harry's servers.
- Landscape mode in all windows.
- Use gyroscope to calculate vehícle inclination, and automatic calibration of the dispositive.
- Trainer application for mac.
- Spanish language avaliable (I can help you to translate it :D :D :D :D )

Thanks.

I know Harry's mentioned landscape views might be worked on for v16, but I just wanted to add an extra 'please'!

I've been using LapTimer as a datalogger on a few trackdays, but I'd like it to reach the point that I can use it as a complete solution for in-race lap timing & video recording. I have limited mounting options in the car (not allowed to use suction mounts for racing), so what I'd really like is a landscape view of the simple 'Timer' screen with video (plus overlay) running in the background.

Cheers
Nigel

Spanish will be included in v15
All others - except "Trainer for the Mac" are planed for v16
iCloud cannot provide the functionality of Harry's Server, but I will definitively check iCloud support

I will test the video background recording option once other views are available in landscape. The challenge is to find a using pattern that allows both rotation for the user, and turn rotation off for high lateral acceleration. Using any app that allows rotation, you will see orientation is changed when you drive around the corner (fast). Not sure it is a good option to require the user to lock the screen manually.

Agreed - it would be easy for the user to forget to lock the screen, and only notice this once moving. It may not the best solution, but could be a quick and easy way of getting the feature in.

It might be worth looking at automatically locking the screen if the current speed exceeds a preset threshold (say 5kph) with a time delay on releasing the lock when dropping back below the threshold.

Yes, I believe this is a valid approach.
