Hardware – Z1 Sim Dashboard Software Version 3.1.0 Released.

Hardware – Z1 Dashboard Software Version 3.1.0 Released.

A huge overhaul of the graphics engine provides a big step forward in performance. Version 3.1.0 seems a 4 times performance increase and zero page faults while driving. This makes running multiple instances much more feasible than before.

The biggest addition in options for the user is the scaling option. This determines the base size of the rendering surface, with 1.0 being 480×272 pixels. You can set the scaling factor to any value greater than zero. 1.0 equals 480×272 pixels. 1.5 equals 720×408. 2.0 equals 960×544. Any value can be used. We suggest setting it to a value that lets you not have to resize the screen at all.

Talking about resizing, by default we have turned this off. You can turn it back on by setting autoResize to true in the settings.ini file. Having it off provides better performance as well as better image quality. (Again, the scaling option above should be used to set the size of the dashboards for best results.)
