Flip Side Racing 12.03 test build

I am releasing a test build that I would like some people to try and report back to me any issues. I have changed enough internally that I want more testing done before I release it to the general public.

Starting with this release I am changing my version numbers to be the year followed by the release number. This makes more sense with the incremental builds that I continue to release.

You can download version 12.03 from here:

Windows Zip File
Windows Installer
Mac Zip File

Some of the key changes are the following:
  • You can edit racers during a practice race or Free Play. Be very careful with this. For example if you enable a different racer with a duplicate transponder that new racer will get the laps while the existing racer will no longer get laps.
  • No longer need to set max racers, it is always 24.
  • The race screen does not show empty racers anymore, it will only display racers in the race
  • You can define individual racer colors instead of slot colors. Enable this on the General Config. screen and then define the racer colors in Edit Racers.
  • Multiple copies of the software can be ran at once, make sure to install the copies to different directories to prevent conflicts
  • The window can be resized smaller, 400x300 is the smallest size though this cuts off controls
  • Row height will be changed automatically if all racers do not fit on the screen. The row height setting now just controls the default
  • The email function filters out non-printable characters as those can create problems with the emails sent
  • Windows graphics now use the newer GDI+ graphics library, this might cause problems with Windows 2000 and older systems
  • Added none to the make menu on the edit racers screen to fix the behaviour if you click a racer with a make and then click one without, it will now default back to none instead of the previous racers make
  • Errors in manually edited xml files no longer send me a crash report they just give the user a warning
  • When a racer is first added to a race they are put in last place instead of first place for their initial lap
  • Lowered audio priority

Please test this release and let me know if you do or do not run into problems. I would like some people to verify functionality or identify issues so I can do any needed fixes/updates before this is released to the public.

Also if you do not like the implementation of some of these changes such as emptying the race screen, row space, racer colors etc. please give me input on a better approach.

As always your help is appreciated
