So guys,
as some of you may have noticed I suddenly disappeared from the forum in the last weeks.
Well there's a nice and curious reason.
I'll make it very short and easy:
I have a long time passion for Formula 1, always followed, Ferrari fan of course since the Schumacher time. With the knowledge of programming learned here I setup a small software for telemetry analysis that I was using in some articles I have been writing for a website made up by some friends.
Then I found totally by chance the email of one of the guy of Sky (the television) and I sent my analysis to him. He called me the same day and ZAP! we are setting up an agreement and every race weekend I am sending them my graphs and my analysis, they air the graphs, give me credits live calling directly my name etc etc. We are also talking about being with them for the next 3 years or so.
Of course now I am working to make the software much better on all the aspects (performance, accuracy, usage etc) because they are very demanding, so I had to pause everything related to orbiter because each spare bit of time I have is now fully committed to this suddenly very big project.
It all started around 10 years ago with the Artlav SC3 to c++ converter and look what can happen in life!
I'll be back soon, I promise and I always keep my promises, but I first have to make this thing work perfectly, even if my work has always been away from all of this, this is a sort of a dream come true.
I'll keep looking in the forum and as soon as I have just a bit of time I will finalize a release of VB (which luckily was really advanced so there should be no major bug for it).
Just wanted to let you know, because it really started all here!
