Thread: LSX (VOID) released

I just did the base RR upgrade from 1-1-2006 version to the 5-2-2006 version and im happy to say that all my issues have gone away! You def. were not lying when you said it needs the newest version. The only thing that still does not work is the full screen GPS speed slider. The red arrow is now there at least! It still does not scroll though. I must be overlooking something. Im going to dig around some more in the LSTOOLS and def. try out that patched iGuidance .exe. Maybe thats why the speed slider is not working?? As far as I know im running the newest version of flash on my carPC because I can use skins with spinning logos with no problem. Anyway just wanted to let you know that im about 95% configured. Thank you for such a great release, but even more thanks to the time you take to respond to all our wonders, requests, and confusions.

not sure if everyone using this skin knows or not, but you have to use the version of skinbedder that is included with the skin. So if you were using a different version of skinbedder or its located elsewhere, you need to make sure in rrconfig that your gps is pointed to skinbedder located in this dir
C:\Program Files\Road Runner\LSTOOLS\SB2.9
not sure if this has anything to do with the people who are having gps probs.

IF YOU ARE NOT HAVING ANY ISSUES WITH GPS, fullscreen button, exiting the fullscreen, PLEASE SPEAK UP so i can isolate the issue.

thanks.

LS are you saying that when we run RR config under where it asks for GPS path we should put C:\Program Files\Road Runner\LSTOOLS\SB2.9 instead of the regular inav directory?

Also are you controling the day night mode of IG to just make it night mode all the time? In other words no matter the time of day IG will always show up with night mode?

Thanks for your help and oh yes you have a PM.

Not sure I still follow.

I'll wait and see what LS says.

are you using a com port splitter? This is also needed because RR makes a connection directly to your GPS device for speed, heading etc. along with iG and since they both cant be connected at the same time you will need to split the com port. Do a search for XPORT on this site and you'll find the port splitter that pretty much everyone is using. Once you get xport running, and have 2 ports that are spitting out gps data, set iG to use one and set RR to use the other one, in RRConfig.exe (or Config button in skin). Also, when you set up the GPS in RRConfig, you DO NOT set it as external, set it to MapPoint, then point the dir to skinbedder inside LSTOOLS.

are you having any issues with fullscreen mode?

I only updated to test CDR's new skin,between the 2 of you the RR interface is makin massive strides....Any chance of a future collaberation.

it works fine for me too, i havent tried out any new skins though. Can u send me a screenshot of this, id like to know what it looks like.
also, one thing i think a lot of people may or may not be overlooking. I dont know if this changed in any of the previous rr releases, since album art has allways worked fine for me. But you need to set/change the dir where your music lib is located for the skin that displays the album art.
For example, in my skin the album art mode screen file name is audio_browser2.skin
if you open the skin in RRSkinEditor and go to this screen, on the left side pane you'll see the letters SD, if you double click you'll see a path C:\My Music, change this to the dir where your music is located.

Again, not sure if everyone knows to do this, it is kind of an odd way to set it up, but if i remove the path i see no album art.

as far as a colabo, i have no idea.
