Simulation Mode

Simulation Mode lets you run the software with fake passings, so you can test screens, sounds, overlays and the whole event workflow without a decoder or cars on the track.

Enable it in General Settings. When it's on, a new menu item appears that opens the simulation control window.

The contestants currently being simulated appear here, and the list updates automatically to match the current race.

  • When simulating practice, random entries are drawn from previously known contestants. Add more with Add Random Transponder Add random transponder.
  • Set the target lap time and the number of split sectors (virtual decoders) for the simulated cars.
  • During a race, pause a contestant to simulate a crash.
  • Switch a selected contestant's transponder for another of their transponders to simulate an incorrect transponder Switch transponder.

Target time vs. minimum lap

If the target lap time is too close to the minimum lap time set in General Settings, no laps will be counted — the simulated laps get rejected as under-minimum. Give yourself some margin.
