Looks enticing! Regrettably a quick install (using the dotnet tool method, Win10) installs without error, but running the app results in an unresponsive window (both terminal and console), logs show no error... None of the key commands work (not even Q). Import data woks, but does not change the unresponsive window. Not looking for tech support, just making you aware that some additional steps might be required in th…

Thanks for the heads up. I think there might be some intricacies with different terminals and OS's which I hasn't fully appreciated (I've only been testing this on a arm64 Mac unfortunately). I have made a new release ( https://github.com/JustAman62/undercut-f1/releases/tag/v3.0.... ) which might help fix the issue - but I'll need to get my hands on a windows machine again to validate, which I should be able to do in…

Just tried it, windows wont download says there is a virus

this looks pretty cool, but I can't get delay working properly. Trying to watch the qualifying session on about a 25 minute delay, the clock indicates the correct time (17:05 or so a few minutes into the session) but the driver times aren't showing, and the radio and race control messages are current (like, I can see all of the race control messages and radio messages for all of Q1).

Ah, so unfortunately the delay is only applied to new data coming in. When you start a live session, we only get the current state and new data coming from the F1 feed, so we can't delay back to a point before you started listening to the feed. You also can't "rewind" the session, so any data that has been shown won't be removed, only new data will be added (after the delay you've set). Currently the delay is designe…

oh, thanks for responding! I'll try to start the program before the race starts tomorrow.

Unfortunately I think this is because I haven't signed the executable. I've signed the Mac executable (as I already have an Apple dev account), but the Microsoft process seems to be a bit more involved and requires an expensive EV certificate. I'll look in to this further, but I can't promise anything.

Usually downloading the app as a dotnet tool doesn't get flagged as a virus, but it seems this isn't always the case.

I tried the dotnet tool method but just get blank command prompt and they keys don't do anything

Thank you! I'm very proud of the track map and lap charts. I mulled over for months about rewriting the app into a native app or website so that I could do proper graphics etc, but then one day earlier this year I suddenly realised I could use Terminal Graphics protocols to achieve inline graphics in the TUI itself, giving me the best of both worlds!

If you wanted to monetize you’ll get way more users from a website or app. This is fantastic , but for techies only.

I can also suggest https://livetim.in/. I believe this one is one of the nicer web interfaces.

Great work! > Tyre Strategy page Nice, I'll be able to see how Ferrari have fumbled strategy for their drivers.

We have to make sure the screen goes all the way to Plan H.

Plan H? We are checking.

I installed on Windows using the dotnet method and it doesn't seem to work. The top line with Quit / Cursor / Session / etc shows up but none of the keys do anything. I was hoping to test it out during the session currently going on :)

I am getting the same thing. Any ideas?

The creator mentioned in another reply that they had only tested on MacOS. I’m going to try on Linux later.
