The February 2024 release of HH Timing brings exciting improvements, many of which were requested by you! Thank you for continuously sharing your feedback and ideas. This release also includes numerous bug fixes for improved stability.

As always, if you have any questions or issues with the release, please contact us at support@hh-dev.com.

Gap graph​

In 2024, one of our goals is to consolidate tools that have grown over time. One such tool is the gap graph. For the past few years, we have maintained both a regular gap graph and a more advanced projected gap graph. We have decided to discontinue the regular gap graph and focus on improving the usability of the projected gap graph.

For those who are unfamiliar with it, you can read the help section on gap graph

Track loops export​

Certain protocols, including Alkamel v2, IMSA Timing, and TimeService TeamStream, offer additional list of track loops in addition of the regular sectors and pit loops. To access this functionality, navigate to the DATA/Sessions menu, select your desired session, and then click on the "Copy Track Loops" option.

The loops are then copied to your clipboard.

Those loops can then be used to create additional sectors.

Here is an example:

Stint analysis​

For user convenience, a legend was integrated into the stint analysis display, providing clear color coding for all cars selected.

New protocol​

The Perugia timing protocol was added on this version.

Car off track​

One control that become more popular in the last year was the car off track display. We have re-worked the help file to explain all options.

Live crossign order​

The ability to show driver categorisation was added to the live crossing order. There is now an option in the ribbon bar:

.

A new column showing the driver categorisation (Bronze,Silver,Gold and Platinium) is then added to the scoreboard:

Misc.​

The color of the unknown category was changed from black to grey, to avoid issue on all control with black background. This is only useful in series where the car category are not defined.

Our 2023 November release includes many improvements to HH Timing. Many of these were requested by you, so thanks for continuously sharing your feedback and ideas!

As usual, if you have any questions or issues with the release please contact us using support@hh-dev.com.

Help file​

Recently we have released a new help file. The address remains unchanged help.hhtiming.com. We have made changes on our side so the help file will receive more regular updates in parallel to the development.

For each version, we will have a post in this section help.hhtiming.com/whats-new to describe every new feature and major changes to the software.

HH Timing replay database​

➔ Complete Help section

One of the major improvements for this version is the incorporation of a replay database directly within HH Timing. This will allow users to get access and run past replays from the software.

Race calculation on car scoreboard​

➔ Complete Help section

Future laps based on the race calculation parameters can now be displayed directly in the car scoreboard. This option was designed to help with decision making live during the race and also validate that all parameters have been entered properly in the software.

Alkamel​

GPS Speed​

➔ Complete Help section

We have reworked our GPS speed graphs section. Mainly we have adapted the default settings to be best suited for endurance racing and Alkamel protocol. The help file has been reworked as well to better explain each settings and to use the feature.

Retired status​

The status of retired car will be displayed in the Status column of the main scoreboard:

Focus on reference car​

➔ Complete Help section

There is now an option to zoom on a car on the track map:

The track map will then follow the selected car around the track:

Track limit​

➔ Complete Help section

A new display was added called Track Limit warning:

This display helps with the monitoring of track limits for specific series.

Track limit counters were also added to the main scoreboard and the driver scoreboard.

Also laps invalidated are now recorded and the scoreboard and ranking are also updated accordingly.

Live crossing order​

➔ Complete Help section

We have added the gap for the ghost cars by showing the expected time to the car in front and to the car behind.

Lap analysis scoreboard​

➔ Complete Help section

In the lap analysis scoreboard we can now display the position of the reference car for the lap time and each sector instead of the time itself. The position is either taken in relation to all cars or just the displayed cars. This allows to compare the ranking for an entire category or a manufacturer:

Main scoreboard past sectors​

➔ Complete Help section

We have added a new option in the Scoreboard backstage option to reset all sectors following a lap:

The idea behind it is to simplify the scoreboard view especially in a series with a lot of sectors.

Example with the option set at False:

Example with the option set at True:

Car off track improvement​

There is now the option to play with the speed detection for the car off track when used with GPS mode:

By default the value is set at 40 kph.

There is also an option on the full track map to not activate the spotter mode. When off, cars detected by the car off track control won't show with an arrow on the full track map:

Championship scoreboard for IMSA and WEC​

➔ Complete Help section

There is now an option to display manufacturer championship points in the championship point scoreboard:

Misc​

Workbook name​

The name of the windows widget is now "Workbook Name - Project Name" instead of "Project Name - Workbook Name". It is now possible to view the workbook name when selecting it from the taskbar:

Apply filter to all controls​

We have added an option to apply a filter to all controls (scoreboards and maps):

Protocol sanity check​

When loading a replay, there is now a check in case the championship configuration activated is not compatible with the replay file:
