Use Case
This plugin provides a quick overview of the latest timing for a car to exit the pitlane and starting laps in the runs in order to complete a specific run pattern and begin the final lap with a safety buffer before the end of the session. Users can customize and manage up to 4 different sequences at once.
The current color theme is as follows:
orange / yellow = out lap
blue = build / preperation lap
green = push lap
Edit Runs
To modify the runs, simply open the context menu and activate the Edit Mode. In this mode, you have the ability to add or remove laps from an existing sequence, as well as adjust the lap type. To start a new sequence, double left-click on the plus sign and an orange lap will appear. From there, you can continue adding more laps by clicking on the plus within the orange box to insert a build lap. If you wish to change the lap type, simply right-click on the lap box and make the necessary adjustments. Please note that ONE TIMING restricts changing the lap to a realistic scenario, preventing the addition of another outlap as the third lap in a run.
For enhanced efficiency and user-friendliness, users have the option to save a customized qualification plan by right-clicking on a created run pattern. Once saved, users can conveniently load this plan by right-clicking on the white plus sign, eliminating the need to manually input all laps again. These plans are automatically saved and can be accessed when reopening ONE TIMING at a later time.
Deactivate the edit menu by right-clicking on the plugin itself, then uncheck the edit mode option.
The reference laptimes utilized in this context are specified within the Event Settings.
Context Menu
Additional context menu options in this plugin may prove beneficial.
Show Countdowns
By default, the time elapsed numbers are displayed when you can start a run or a lap at the latest stage. Changing this to the Countdown will adjust the numbers to a countdown ticking down until these points in time. Typically, Countdowns can be beneficial during a Green Flag session, while time elapsed may be easier to follow during a red flag. Ultimately, the choice between Countdowns and time elapsed is a matter of personal preference.
Wrap Parameters' Text
This feature adjusts how lap times are shown at the bottom of the plugin. Depending on the plugin's width in your layout, you may not see all lap times in a single line. When this option is selected in the context menu, the text will wrap into multiple lines to ensure all lap times are visible.
Empty qualification plan
To quickly remove a run sequence, simply right-click on a lap within that run and choose "Empty qualification plan." This will instantly delete all laps without the need to remove each one individually.
