How do you get this to work? I see the track map but no cars on it. Thanks

Check the Track Map menu item, you have to select the drivers to show on the map.

#3

Ok i do that but nothing happens, do i need to refresh the map? If so how? toggle it on and off?

#4

New widget - set widget to track map data set - new subwidget set in track map as the display I stay around a 25x25 subwidget - label set to car number -  set to a button - on the display side aka the button box activate it and click track like nick said and they should show then. Sorry se t from phone while at work

#5

Im sorry i did not understand that.

New Widget- set to track map data set

new Sub widget- set in track map as the display??

subwidget- label to car number???

Set a button in controls to toggle on off........ got that part

in the atvo app go to track map and enable all cars or whatever.... got that as well

Thanks for your help, i know this will help others also.

  • Add a Widget, go to its properties and enable the Track Map
  • Set the Widget Data Set to trackmap
  • Add a SubWidget (to this same Widget) which will act as the template, e.g. the SubWidget that will be displayed for each car on the track map.
  • Go back to the Widget properties, under Track Map category select the Template Subwidget you just created.
  • In the SubWidget add a Label and set the Data Binding to (for example) carnumber, or name or whatever fits.

That should be it, now just make sure at least one driver is "selected" to display on the map using the Track Map menu (both in ATVO and in the Theme Editor).

Ok so after some trial and error with what you said, i got it to work. I think. Will update again when its working properly

#9

One last qusetion on this topic, i hope lol, my "dots" are clipping when going to the edge of the track map box, and there is no way to put a margin on the map it self as far as i know?

Yes there should be a margin, maybe even two (inner / outer), can't remember. Look in the properties of the widget under Track Map category.

#12

Ok, why does my track map do this? It never seems to be accurate.

Ill try to explain what im doing, in the segment of this video I am adding 1 car at a time to the track. My team cars have unique back grounds as you see. When i add the third car it mixes up the cars and it gets worse the more cars you add. lol Also its very flickery, anyway to change that?

I didn't have time yet, sorry. Probably this weekend.

Yes I found the bug, I think I fixed it but it needs a bit more testing I think. Will probably release it soon as beta.

Nick ThissenAppgineering
#22

Yes it is a bug, related to the ordering of the drivers. Although perhaps with some combination of the data order you may get it to behave ok. But probably not.

#25

looks like the flickering is still there but perhaps the order is fixed now.

Nick ThissenAppgineering
#26

No, I don't know yet what's causing the flickering :(

The changes you made to the data order has seemingly fixed the out of order issue though - so thank you! Hopefully somebody can figure out the flickering someday. It ain't a dealbreaker!

#28

Is there an update on when other track maps will be programmed in? Nothing worse than pulling up a graphic to a big circle! ;)

#29

Right now we don't have the time for that. Since a track map isn't only an image it's a lot of work to create even a single one. And we all know that there are hundrets of track layouts available on iRacing.

#30

Is there a way for us as users to help make them to ease your burden on them?

Simon GrossmannAppgineering
#31

Right now we don't have any tools for you to use other than Visual Studio itself which is a complete development software. So unfortunately there's really not much where you can help.

#32

Didn't think there was but thought it was at least worth a shot to ask.

#34

Hi, guys, How can I to get some tracks into the ATVO Theme? Some tracks works fine but others shows a circular track.

Thanks in advance

#35

Hey i have the same issue, but for me it is only the new tracks like Silverstone and Barcelona. Well also Nurgbergring but all other tracks for me have ben there

Circular track means that it's missing from our supported tracks. See this post.
