Wild Turkey Racereviewer



	Overview RaceReviewer is a free application that lets you ‘replay’ your race performance. You can use it to graphically display the location on the course you got passed by your training partner or to get an idea where you were when The winner crossed the finish line. A huge thank you to regular participant and RaceReviewer developer, Jody Snowdon for developing this software for Lactic Turkey Events - it adds a lot to our events, being able to compare your race with other people and allow those that couldn't come to the event a chance to see how they would have done it. Installing RaceReviewer should work on any computer that is running windows 95 or later. You will need a half decent graphics card to get the 3d stuff to look smooth. The 2d stuff should look decent on anything. RaceReviewer will take up about 10mb of space on your hard disk. It will work best if you have a resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher and at least 256 colours. Install RaceReviewer by unzipping the application to a folder on your computer. If you have other RaceReviewers (good for you!) put this one in a separate folder. RaceReviewer does not use the Registry and will only read from and write to the directory it is installed in. It will create two bitmap files, map.bmp and photo.bmp in the directory it is installed in when it first runs. Double-click the executable file to run the application.

You can find a person by clicking on the down arrow on the name drop down and typing the name into the box, the box will scroll as you type. People are in place order e.g. winning person at the top. Click the green arrow when you have found the person you want to display, this will put their name in the next free square in the entrants list (5). You can view up to five people at once. 6 Entrant display - The people you have selected are displayed in this area. The colour to the left of the persons name is the colour of the course that will be displayed in the map viewer area and the colour of the 'worm' in the height map. Click the red cross next to the name to remove the person from the display Underneath each person are four fields pieces of information. a. Time - Race time (only shown at the end) b. Distance - Total distance travelled in kilometres c. Elevation - Accumulated 'up' elevation. Every time Race Reviewer thinks that you went up it will accumluate this counter. See the FAQ below about heights 7 Height - A height profile of each of the selected people is displayed here. Use the scroll bar at the bottom to see more of the profile. Double click this display to bring up a form that will show you the entire profile. The scale of this form is meters above sea level up the side and kilometres along the bottom. (Again see the height FAQ below) Moving around in the 3d view The easiest way to navigate is to click one of the option buttons next to one of the entrants that you have chosen to display on the map. This will put you into auto follow mode and the map will scroll around keeping the entrant you are following in sight. Click another entrant to 'auto follow' them. If you remove all follow checks then you are in 'free mode' and you can navigate around using the arrow keys on your keyboard. up key moves you forward in the direction you are facing down key moves you backward away from the direction you are facing left key rotates your view to the left right key rotates you view to the right up key + shift moves you down, closer to the ground down key + shift moves you up, away from the ground up key + ctrl tilts your point of view down. e.g. if you were looking at the top of a mountain, this will make you look at the bottom down key + ctrl tilts your point of view up. e.g. if you were looking at the bottom of a mountain, this will make you look at the top The only keys that work when you are in 'auto follow' mode are up key + shift and down key + shift to move you up and down. If you get lost when in free mode (it is possible to fly through the map!) select an entrant to follow and you will be put back in a sensible place. If you are typing keys and nothing is happening, make sure the 3d map is selected by clicking on it with your mouse. Uninstalling Simply delete the folder containing the RaceReviewer files.
