v1.60 2020-11-21
- new display variant, show position by class (if supported by sim) *1
- R3E, display of Incident points / Max Incidents used on ranked servers
- fuelbar only blinks when less than 1 lap and estimated 80% of lap is done
- fixed AC tyre wear color levels (ratio has changed in newer SimHub)

*1
AC - not supported
rF2 - some mods shows different brands as different class even if same class

v1.56 200601
- fixed laps on current tyre set when using gear indicator, was sometimes invalid

v1.55
- when stationary in pit all time best (ATB) laptime is shown instead of current laptime
- relative difference to current best lap (if any) and colored according to below
-> yellow, current best laptime is slower than ATB
-> green, current best laptime is ATB
-> purple, current best laptime is ATB, and best in session

- BIAS/TC/ABS is shown during 3s when changed if using gear indicator layout
- using gear indicator layout, laps on current tyre set is shown for 8s at start/finish
- wear colors levels adjusted for AMS2
- supported flags/penalties indicated for AMS2 (all are there, but not triggered by AMS2 yet)
- damage bars for aero, suspension, engine and brakes added for AMS2
- delta/sector time visibility fixed for AMS2
- pit limiter not indicated in AMS2 (yet), always blink in pitlane
- small improvement R3E car behind warning logic, but still flicker
- only alternative method used for other drivers in R3E, first method sometimes buggy
- a few code optimizations

Known issues
- sometimes position/name/gap info behave strange
- ATB property sometimes do not get updated correct

v1.50
- add adjusted wear color levels for R3E
- add orange wear color between Yellow and Red for R3E and AMS
- add active penalties, flags, cut track & damage indicator for R3E
- enhanced driver behind warning in R3E
- sector delta invalidates if off-track in R3E
- enhanced detection of other drivers invalid on-track data
- fix for R3E color when same class but different year
- fix for R3E when lap is invalidated and sometimes sector/lap or qualify board was shown
- fix for sector and delta times delayed one extra lap in R3E
- fix for 'best' laptime icon sometimes shown after outlap in R3E
- minor layout fixes

Known issues
- sometimes position/name/gap info still behave strange in R3E
- driver behind still flickers or invalid in R3E, more noticeable in multiplayer sessions
- same class but different year do not always work in R3E, bug in shared mem or Simhub

v1.42
- during qualify, dedicated info is only shown in pitlane and 15s after passing start/finish line, otherwise on-track info is shown instead
- sector delta not shown until valid value is available, i.e not on outlap or when best lap not set
- short driver name truncates leading/trailing spaces and removes double driver names seperated by '/', ',' or ' - '
- fuel level bar background when <2 laps of fuel, it changes to orange, <1 lap of fuel, red and slow blink
- tyre wear background in color, green, yellow ,red, adjusted for rf2, AMS & AC (no mid-range colors for AMS)
- if previous lap is not valid (i.e cut track), laptime info will be blank (previously large negative value was shown)
- delta time format fixed, could sometimes show small artifacts after the last number
- gap info in AC only uses alternative code, first method is buggy at start of lap in certain conditions
- known behavior, if not valid lap and passing into sector 1 or 2, non valid negative value will be shown
- some single class in AMS still shows as different, use single-class display

New tyre indicator:

v1.40
- all extra functions moved to NCalcScript and JavaScriptExtensions to better re-use code in display and share between variants
- not connected screen added, will also indicate if NCalc or Java script is not installed correctly
- adaptive code for gap behind/ahead, work regardless number of car in between as long you are on leaders lap, then 4 cars limit will apply
- better code when on track and pit when data for other drivers is not valid
- CarBehind warning also indicate when car is ahead (1.2m), should help users not on triples
- fixes for some cars indicate different class, but same car (AJR in rF2 for example)
- some mod cars have different class and name, even when same class, use single class display (rF2)
- adaptive car class code for AMS, multi-class should now work as expected
- class information is not available in AC
- minor adjustment for class color
- PITLANE display moved and changed to bigger layout with improved indicators, shows total pitstop time when exiting pitlane for 5s
- InPit is only available in AC, for others time will count up even when starting from pit
- PitLimiter status not available in AMS, always indicates ON, icon will blink
- longer names are limited to total of 14 characters instead of cut of
- EngineTorque indicator bar in FE variant removed as no longer supported by rF2 in any FE variant
- fix for lapinfo sometimes showed invalid information at start of race


Note, to install copy all files in the "SimHub" folder to your Simhub installation folder, this will install the necessary NCalc and JavaExtentensions scripts

Gap was not reported as null for car ahead if leading the race, gap was then shown as position 0 and gap 0.0 without name (it was null)
(hope this is the last fix)

Multiclass, the 2nd behind car position, color had wrong index

New features
- if driver behind is less than 4.5m behind, background turns red in lap info (kind of AC Helicorsa)

- if driver ahead or behind is in a different class, the color will have a darker yellow if Multiclass panel is used
- when passing start line, difference in gap to driver ahead and behind relative to your position is shown in green/red/purple for 12s
- if gaining on car ahead, or extending the gap to car behind, difference will be green
- if loosing on car ahead, or gap is closing to car behind, difference will be red
- if gap is static (less difference than 0.05s), difference will be purple

Tweaks
- if fuel/energy less than 10L/Lap, the value is shown with 2 decimals

- laps since pitstop shown top left when using gear indicator
- minor visual tweak in some widgets

Known issues/limits/behavior
- SimHub do not filter out or indicate when cars in pit
- Relative gap is not reported correct from game when you have been lapped, so alternetive code is used

This will limit the new features as below
- red flashing will sometimes happen when passing cars in pit
- relative gap difference will only be shown in race session
- gap for car ahead and behind, you must follow or be followed by the same driver for at least 2 laps.
- there can be no more than 4 cars ahead or behind for relativ gap to be shown, including cars in pit

Installation
- the panel now has 2 layouts, old version needs to be deleted manually

- Fixed, sometimes "LAST STOP X LAPS" value was +1 lap after pit-stop

- Dedicated display for Formula E (tested with rF2)

- Gear, RPM indicator and shift light as default Gear info
- Regenerating energy indicator overlay on rpm bar (red)
- Brake bias setting (BIAS)

-Number of laps driven since the last stop, by adding this value with LPS you can estimate length of your stint or adjust your driving according to race strategy.

- Actual energy level in % and energy-bar 0-100% (red)
- Regenerated energy-bar 0-0.5% (green)
- Energy per lap in %, previous lap
- Laps left on current energy level

- Session position/info, removed own name from self info, is also now an widget
- Session position/info, all driver names now display J.Doe syntax
- Session position/info during practice, partial display of different values fixed
- Session position/info during practice, changed code and visual condition for delta lap/gap
- Session position/info during practice on track, delta to best lap now has less opacity

Update log:
- Display base is now a widget of widgets (no difference between variations)
- New display variation without gear, but flashing red background (for H pattern without shift light)
- Standing info during practice, will also show gap to opponent on track
- Standing info during practice, best lap diff to opponent on track fixed (was delta to best)
- Standing info during practice, short name syntax John Doe -> J.Doe
- In pitlane, overall standing is always shown with gap to opponent
(practice/qualify -> delta to best lap, race -> delta to opponent)
- Sector/laptime visual is not reset by drive thru penalty
- Time left in pitlane fix for AMS
- Laptime delta position adjusted
- ABS and TC positions adjusted
