[edit]
Well I made a new folder in the RR folder named Milage, downloaded a new version of the plugin, replaced the dll... cleaned out my registry and then registered the dll again and guess what... it seems to work...

Now I just need someone to make a skin for freedom for it... finally I can throw away pen and paper for typing down every mile I go for work... love it!

freedom skin is comin today

Was hoping u would notice that... know you are using freedom 2 and u are a good skinner so...

@Festy
I've tried it some now and it's as good as I was hoping for... nice work...
I just have one small question though, does it start as soon as I start RR or do I need to go to the Tripmeter screen before it starts to save the distance etc...?

hows this lookin?

Skins are 99% complete. Only thing left to do is give the buttons "down" states like the rest of the buttons in freedom. Problem is i dont quite have that down. But lemme know if you want any changes. As you can see in the images the reset buttons slide out ( like the volume on audio player). Work indicator works too. Lastly, the greyed out buttons do nothing as of now.. but as with all other road runner programs i left them there for future features.

PS. I hadda really sweet looking effect on that highway image in the back of the pictures that made it appear as it was moving but DAMN was it a CPU hog! i might still use it on my carpc though lol

the plugin is loaded when menu.skin is loaded so the meters should start when rr starts.

Thats looking real good... was wondering at first why u put it so far to the right but the second screen explained it... u are pretty fast at skinning...
oh, have u done the skin where u enter the fuel 2...

oh... nice, I'll probably have it visible most of the time anyway... always fun with stats...
As I said earlier... the best plugin imho, should be integrated with RR if I was god!

yes i have that one done too.. but i'm not surei 'm happy with it as its not flashy or nothin. May redo that one.

But here's what i got so far.

hmm... are u sure u sent everything with that one... the top bar doesnt work for me... no clock or any other info and when I go to the fuel screen all the buttons "jump" around when I mouse over them...

layout looking real good though...

oh and I dont know but it seems like my test trip is gone, it's just showing 0 everywhere...

i'm in the process of redoing the fuel screen but in the mean time i added the additional .swfs i left out before.. my bad!

as for your test trip... i dunno what you mean. are the meters not working for you? they work on my end.
