### how to use the GUI

| 2. Select the insim port and enable the "enable GUI access" option. Enter a port number for communication between the TV Director and the GUI. Then press the Start button.

| 3. Start the LFS TV Director GUI. Usually the GUI is running on a 2nd PC or Laptop, so you can control your cameras while LFS is running in fullscreen mode.

| 4. Press the connect button in the toolbar

| 5. Enter the GUI port that you have selected in step 2. Also enter the IP address of your PC where LFS and the TV Director is running. If you are running the GUI on the same PC where the TV Director is running, then disable the remote checkbox.

| 6. Start LFS and enter /insim=XXXXX into the chat, where XXXXX is the insim port number

8. Now you can load a replay or connect to a multiplayer race.

| 9. As soon as the replay is loaded completely, activate the TV Director by pressing the hotkey (in our example Ctrl-F6). Then a message will appear that the TV Director is activated.

| 10. This is a screenshot of the GUI while the GUI is connected and the TV Director is active. There is a map of the track and dots representing the cars. In the top left corner there is a list of the drivers with their race positions. The currently focused driver is highlighted. It is possible to click on the driver names, then the TV Director will switch into manual mode and the selected car will be focused. It is also possible to click on the dots to select the car, that should receive the camera focus.

| 11. In manual mode it is also possible to select more than one car to receive camera focus. Hold the mouse button and select a rectangle around the dots.

| 12. As long as the TV Director is in manual mode, the toolbar button with the hand keeps pressed. You can switch back to automatic action detection by pressing this toolbar button.
