iSpeed - iRacing Speed/Split/Best-lap display

... and just introduced ... Telemetry Analysis

iRacing's a pretty great racing simulation. Stephane Turpin's THUD plugin really brought it to the "Next Level" (before iRacing disabled it), helping determine what the fastest way is around the track.

iSpeed was created from this need to have this information available. It was initially created to run on MIMO 720s 7" touchscreen display, but can now be used on any display, or on a remote computer, phone or portable device.

Features (partial list):

• Shows best splits, comparison to best splits, and optimal lap times (thanks, Stephane).
• Shows time delta compared to best lap (similar to Stephane's).
• Shows speed +/- compared to your best lap at this point on the track (this is new).
• Can show +/- speed and deltas for someone else's lap file (you have to download it).
• Can show statistics from another computer via the web interface.
• Can show statistics on your iPhone / iPod touch / similar.
• Automatically disconnects / reconnects when you start/stop iRacing. Can also be stopped/started at any point without causing problems.
• Can "Stay on top" of iRacing running in Windowed mode, although it's not shape-optimized for this.
• If iSpeed gets maximized when you don't want it to, just double-click anywhere in the upper user interface (on top of the splits is a reliable area). This will un-maximize.
• All data is automatically saved in your profile directory, iRacing\Telemetry. All "Best laps" are saved, so you can always go back to a previous best lap.
• Supports multiple lap types so your best lap and splits in Hotlap mode can be stored separately from your Race ones.
• Can load save files and looking at user input (brake, throttle, steering angle, gear), drive path, and speed. Since we always save your best laps, this makes it really easy to compare against someone else's laps.
• Works on Windows XP and Window 7, 32 and 64 bit versions.

Instructions:

• Download the latest build 1.4.3.0, February 21st, 2010, or view the release notes.
• Use your favorite .zip software to extract someplace - .exe and .dll (both exes and the .dll are required). If you want to test the web interface, extract those files too, in the directory they are .zipped in.
• Launch iSpeed.exe. Move the window to someplace useful (like a secondary monitor that won't be used for iRacing).
• Run iRacing. Drive. Get Faster.
• When you're done, load iSpeedLapAnalyzer.exe. Load a couple of lap files (browsing to the lap save directory in your iRacing\Telemetry directory) and see where you can improve.
• If you have comments, problems, questions, please post to the iRacing forum.

Donating

iSpeed is a labor of love, in many senses. That said, many features have been added at the request of users, and for that kind of work to continue, there needs to be some incentive to continue working on iSpeed. That's where donations come in to play.

For any user that donates $15.00 or more to iSpeed, you'll get a license key, which enables some future features. Using one of the "Money" buttons will automatically generate you a license key. You'll also get priority support and a special email address to use to contact us if you have any questions.
