Problem with installing software Bruce Yingling - posted in Analogue Race Control, Lap Timing Systems & Software: HalloI have installed Bruce Yingling Software 1.705 in a carrera D132 set up with the Control Unit and a Carrera PC Cable. Highly influenced by the well known RMS from Bruce Yingling (). Race Management System for slotcar racing systems. It also prevents you from starting a second instance of the application.Lane Gate - Collision Avoidance for Carrera D124/D132 slot car tracks.
The latest program file also addresses an issue raised by Forum member Bannon05 re: editing driver information. You may have gotten a version where the Browse for sound files buttons don't actually browse. It fixes some record-keeping issues, addresses the bugs I have isolated, and adds a few minor features.
If you did download the package and install it, you may want to grab the newest program file from the same website. You'll have to fetch it from the above location. I plan to be putting together a dirt cheap ($0.00) machine (I have everything but an extra ATX case) to use on my track, and I'll install Win98 on it first and see what gives.įor anyone interested, you can now download the latest intallation package from If you were sent a link in a PM earlier in the week, and you didn't download the package (there were at least four of you who did not)- that link will no longer work.
I'm curious, however, if anyone running Win98 has downloaded the last drivers validated for Win98 from FTDI's website? I haven't cheked to see what drivers are supplied with X-Lap, but I know the newest drivers from FTDI are not intended to work with Win98. But at present I have no reason to beleive it will work on Win98 if X-Lap does not. It should work if you install the FTDI drivers seperately, without installing X-Lap, but I have not tested it. My software assumes the user has installed X-Lap previously, and it uses the Serial-to-USB driver software that X-Lap installs. The only machine I have around here running Windows 98 has no USB ports.so I can't tell you if it will work or not. What version of Windows will it run on? Dissapointed when X-Lap didn't work on 98 as advertised. If anyone is interested in trying it out, send me a PM and I'll put together an install package (with some instructions- currently ther is no in-program help) and make it available.
The software has been used on exactly two machines at this point- both mine. When you're rotating cars, you have the option to rotate the ghost and pace cars, or leave them the same for the entire session. You can require them to finish the race, or not. You can count/not count ghost and pace cars. It reports laps, best lap, last lap, position and time-to-leader (or laps behind leader). The race screen always fills the desktop.
Ramjet-X Controllers for Carrera Digital and SCX Digital racing systems. But I tried adjusting the power to the cars using the PC and it did not change anything. Question about Bruce Yingling Carrera software I have the software installed and it seems to work great. For race modes, the heats must be started from the Black Box after the software has been setup with driver and/or car information. Just click the practice button and drive.
There is a practice mode as well as a race mode. Announcement of checkered flag in lap counted race (or not). Two laps to go and or final lap (lap counted race), 30 seconds to go (in a timed race). Likewise, if 2 drivers want to each drive 3 cars in a session (as my wife and I just did this afternoon), the software will track the results. If you have 10 drivers and 5 controllers (as we did here the night of the first test), the software will rotate through the ten drivers, giving each a chance to race all 5 cars associated with the 5 controllers. So I've written my own RMS software (Windows) for Carrera digital, using the protocol information so generously provided by SFI member brumbaer at his My software includes some things I thought were lacking in X-Lap: You can automagically rotate cars or drivers in a session. I wasn't very happy with the X-Lap software that came with the PC unit.
Race Link uses FTDI chips for full compatibility with all versions of Windows OS (XP/Vista/7/8) and any RMS for D124/D132. Use with Control Unit (30352) or Black Box/Lap Counter (4).
