I can do that, I put all setups in one file because it's easier to work with while building the application.
I would have to change a couple of things.

you can select the setup in the drop down box on the Overview tab, and then click the "Load this setup" button. the selected setup will be loaded into the config file.

well actually we could do that even with a single file, it's just a matter of copy pasting inside the xml, no big deal..

well.. a quote from a wise man: "Progress isn't made by early-risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something".
in the spirit of that, I resent copy/pasting if it can be programmed into the application

Nice....I've always used pretty much stock settings because I knew it would make it worse for certain tracks and I'd have to change a lot, now I may actually test out some different settings! Thanks Servatis.

ok, so I was planning to upload the new version here at school but the proxy here is ****, I can't upload files.
I already deleted the old version so there is currently no download link.

As soon as I get home in about 7 hours. I will post the new version and an explanation of the new options.

BTW. All setups are now saved in seperate .xml files and some things have been changed inside the .xml file. this means you can't just copy past the setups you have in the current version. just a warning to not create loads of setups because you will have to make them again.
if you do have a lot of setups in the current version you can ask me to edit them into usable files, but that will have to wait because i'm quite busy

.

The new version is up for download.

some additions and changes have been made:
first of all the setups now all have thier own .xml file. making excanging setups easy.
second there is a "grab setup from config file" added to the setup editor tab, allowing the user to grab the current settings out of MXS.
besides that there have been a number of cosmetic changes, like the overview table has been made read-only and the column names now have better names.
Also there have been some changes to the .xml files so copy/pasting will not work. like I explained in my previous post.

Hope you like it, and if you have any comments or find any bugs, please tell me.

Would like to have automatic shifting etc included.

Otherwise, this is freakin awesome

I've got one thing that could be counted as a bug I suppose. Ever since I started to use this, buttons for pause and next rider won't work without reconfiguring them. I think it's because those two are defined with using a finnish keyboad and both names have the letter ä in their defining names. It doesn't show that letter ingame but I've noticed that after I load a setup into the game, there's two spaces inplace of that letter in the button definitions (not working then) and when they're redefined there's only one space and then it works again.

Nice, this realy realy helps in mxs!
But i came up with and HELP window idea..
Cuz ppl dont mayby know what sertain selections means? ??
Like what they do, so is there a way to get a button like help witch tells you whats this program all about and what like Damping speed =****
Cause im not so good in eglish, i can speak and i understand simple sentances, but these mx words, are complete blur in my head.
So if you could please try to add help button. (I think im not the only one here needing some help mayby? like new dudes, different language users)

Sorry for my bad english, this is realy a HUGE improvment!

Ty.
