System Time?
« on: June 13, 2013, 09:27:28 am »
I have SimDash start with windows so it's ready and waiting :) Talking about waiting, is there a way to maybe show system time, while I'm not playing a sim :) So my race pro could be a clock while not in a Sim??

Thank you for your time and work ;)

Actually, you can already do that.

you have to create a new design and load it in SImDash, that you will keep running even when not playing any game.

In SimScreen Editor there is the data item

System Information -> Time

that shows the current system time

Thank you Cristiano :)

You may think I'm a n00b :) That's OK, because I am ;) I have little to no knowledge, on how your software works...What I do know is, that you do great work, and I love it lots :) So, if it's OK..I will wait until you are able to add this functionality to the next release of your software in maybe a months time :)

Many thanks for your time and work :)

The functionality is already there.
Create a screen with the simscreen editor and load it in simdash.

There is system time that you can use but also cpu load for example.

Please let me know if anything is not clear and i will explain better.

Regards
Cristiano

I am also confused Cristiano. I appreciate the function is already there for SimScreen, but SwiftyOne is asking if it can be displayed on RacePro, even when not using a race sim. Are you saying this is possible somehow?
Many thanks :)

Yes, that is what he is saying...(I think) At the present time, when SimDash starts with windows, on the display I have this: 0.n .- . -. 0  Some how, instead of that display, we need to tell SimDash to display system time (and that's the bit I have trouble to understand  ???

Sorry, I read SimScreen instead of Pro-Race.

I will add that function in next release.

Hello
With the update of SimDash 1.5.2. I was thinking, did you try to do this system time showing on the Pro-Race display? (when resting, not in a Sim) I ask this because, my display has changed while at rest (SimDash running in background) I used to have on the display:
0.n .- . -. 0 Now after I select the "System Time" in the "Data" tab, I now have this display: 0.n. 00.00. Should v1.5.2 show the system time when resting and not in a sim?

If you have not made any changes to system time, please except my apologies, for bothering you :)

Hi.
Yes, it is supposed to display the system time.
I will check what the problem is and fix it soon.
