v2.220 is up:
1. During lap counted races, if the box was ticked to 'End race on checkered flag lap' (which is the default), once the winner crossed the Start/Finish, the race was over when all active cars completed their current lap. The problem: if a car ran out of fuel before completing it's current lap, the car had to enter the pit, refuel, and come all the way around for it's lap to count. This has been changed in this release. Now, after the winner crosses the start/finish, a car is considered to have finished the race if it completes it's current lap or runs out of fuel.
2. TeamRadio added some fuel calculations when nearing the end of the race. In timed races, it will give you an estimate at 1:00 and :30. In lap counted races, with 12 laps and 6 laps left.
3. There is now a heat clock visible on attached remote devices. It is a bright red count in the lower right. Count down for timed races, up for lap counted races. Updates every second, as remote devices receive updates 2-3 times per second.
4. The nag screen for registration has been moved to the end of the search for a timing device. It will appear roughly 2/3 of the time the search is conducted. Since the search is run automatically at program start, you will get the nag screen roughly 2/3 of the time. All features are available w/o registration, but registration automates a few things and, of course, eliminates the nag screen.
5. Because of a TeamRadio calculation, if a car entered the pits to refuel before completing a lap, a divide by zero error was possible.
6. The program now implements an autosave of any race rotation. So if you have 14 folks running 14 heats and a PC or track disaster strikes in the middle of heat 4, the next time the software is run, it will ask if you want to complete the race. It will start at heat 4 using the same rotation, rules, length, drivers, cars- virtually everything- as used for the three completed heats. So you will still get proper race totals and results at the end of your round robin.
7. In a December 2017 release, a bug was introduced that could cause a user's results file to show Dec 30, 1899 as the race date for all recorded races. As of this release, race results now once again show the actual date they are run.
