I'm heading to VIR next week, and for the first time, I've got to run the Grand Course aka Car and Driver's Lightning Lap configuration on Thursday! However, I was looking at the RaceStudio3 (latest version) and couldn't find the Grand Course/Lightning Lap map in the database. Is it a known missing track? Because it's rarity that no other organizer run nowadays except Car and Driver, and Trackdaze (once a year)? How can I add it to my Aim Solo2 DL?

TIA.

 

It still uses the same S/F as the Full Course, so as long as you have a VIR map loaded you'll be fine. The only real need is if you want to break down the Patriot Course into smaller segments.

 

I'll have a map for you shortly (over the weekend, most likely). Been a while since we ran it and have to dig it up.

 

Like 2BWise said, it you just have the Solo2 you'll be all set as the S/F is the same. If you have a SmartyCam, you need the correct track image.

On FB we were discussing this. Hopefully Peter sends the track info into AiM (through the software or email) and they will gladly add it to the database for everyone.As an aside, when I was in Milan, I met Stefano who creates all the tracks in the software. He took great pride in all the tracks they have and asked that if people have any that are not included yet, to please let him know. He can create the track from a data file or Google Earth!

 

I just uploaded the track map, coordinates and SmartyCam map background for VIR Grand to the AiM Sportline servers.

Matt, did you know you can set that up to auto-upload to the AiM servers to share with everyone? Works great!

 

Send me an email and I'll send a file for the grand course track file for all RS3 enabled devices. I have uploaded under the name "VIR Grand Course" onto the AIM servers to auto update any RS3 user that is connected to the internet.

This incorporates the "new" start/finish line when the track was repaved in 2013, around the corner from where the old finish line was and under the "new" start stand over pit exit.

 

Yes. That is what I wrote. I believe Stefano checks them all before adding them to the db.

I don't have mine automatically because I end up with some tracks that are "test" tracks that are not public or real. No reason to send those in for someone else to delete them.

Photo for others to know how to set it up.

 

Hi Peter,

I still can't find the VIR Grand Course on AIM track database? Are the tracks auto updated on RS3? I've also sent you an email over the weekend, may be you can email it to me (for both Solo2DL and SmartyCam) with installation instruction would be great?

Thank you!

Gary
