Live for G15 V0.8
Test Release - 25. Dezember 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

Requirements:
 - Live for Speed S2 Alpha 0.5X or above
 - Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard
 - .NET Framework 2.0
 - LCDFonts installed

Features:
-  Gauge-Display (for race, qualification and practice)
   o RPM of engine (analog + digital)
   o Speed (digital)
   o Pit speed limiter indicator
   o Selected gear
   o Shiftlight indicator

- Note: The Insim car speed is a floating number and is always rounded to the largest integer less than 
        or equal to its floating value (math: floor function, same as it is done in LFS). I.e. a speed 
        of 49.999mph is displayed as 49mph.
        Therefore: Consider this when pitting, :-)

- Race-Information (for race mode only)
   o Current fuel level (precision: 2 decimal places)
   o Display of average fuel consumption per lap
   o Number of laps to go based on current fuel level and average fuel consumption
   o Display of driver in front / behind
   o Display of position in race
   o Display of race distance / duration
   o "live"-timing of gap to driver in front / behind
   o Pitstop warn indicator (fuel empty)
   o Recommended amout of fuel for pitstop

   Note "Pitstop warn indication": 
     
     - Indicator gets activated when crossing start/finish line, if at the end of this lap
       a pitstop has to be done. Instead of the own race position the literal "PIT" 
       will appear (alternating with the recommended refuel amount).

   Note "Remommended amout of fuel":
   
     - Based on the average fuel consumption, the fuel left on board and the remaining
       race distance at the beginning of each lap the recommended refuel amount is 
       calculated and displayed (right bottom of race details).
       
       If the distance is given in number of laps (e.g. 10 laps race), the remaining
       race distance is calculated by subtracting the number of laps already done from the 
       overall number of laps in the race. Thereby the calculation of the remaining race
       distance does not consider the fact, that you might be already one or more laps down to
       the race leader and therefore your personal race distance might be a bit shorter.
     
       For timed races (i.e. race mode is hour) the remaining number of laps to go is
       calculated based on your average lap time and the remaining race time.
       
       When calculating the recommended fuel amount a buffer of 1% is added. Accordingly
       the fuel left at the end of race should be approximately 1-2%.
