RaceFX Software Version 3.0 Released

Post by gpraceman »

RaceFX™ Version 3.0 has just been released! Several new features have been added along with many improvements to make the software easier to use and more versatile.

To find out more, please visit the RaceFX page at GrandPrix Software Central, located at http://grandprix-software-central.com/rcfx/.

Here's a summary of what's new:
  • Added a new "Dashboard" screen, which is a compact version of the main screen. You can select which sound buttons to display on the dashboard and the screen is fully resizeable. It can also be set to stay on top of other programs, like GrandPrix Race Manager.
  • Integrated support with GrandPrix Race Manager Version 6.0. GrandPrix Race Manager can automatically or manually launch the RaceFX dashboard screen from the racing screen. With the RaceFX "Always on Top" feature you no longer have to switch back and forth between RaceFX and GrandPrix Race Manager.
  • Added the ability to change screen background colors on the main and dashboard screens.
  • Mousing over a sound button will display the sound’s filename. This, along with the button image, aids in knowing which sound is which.
  • Added support for BMP and JPG images, so now BMP, GIF, ICO, and JPG images can be used for sound buttons.
  • Continuously play a sound clip (WAV files only). Sound effect will repeat until you stop it or play another sound effect. (Added 12/11/2007)
  • The last used sound and image directories will be remembered for use in setup of button sounds and images.
  • Some optimization has been done to improve performance.
If you have any questions or comments, please email or PM me.

Thanks,

Not a new version of RaceFX (yet), but we did manage to squeeze in a new feature that was requested. Now you can continuously play a sound effects file until you stop it or play another sound file. This is limited to WAV files for now. This opens up some possibilities on how the software can be used. One person wanted to use it for continuously running sound effects at a submarine museum. Being prior Navy, I thought that was pretty cool.
