Hmmm.... thats what i was assuming and makes sense. that way you have your launch button (activating the launch revlimiter) and that also activates the T-brake.
is that a little bit of a problem if you use the delay feature? or maybe James wrote the code to include the use of the delay feature to where it would not start the ignition timer until the delay timer was complete?

Is it possible to use "Launch in" for transbrake button input AND launch control option input? As to not have to use 2 inputs?

I don't think so at present.

here are a couple of things for the wishlist..... :D

1.) When you stage the car, you press the button that activates the transbrake. This also activates the launch limiter (1 input would be nice but not a big deal if it has to activate 2 pins, 1 driver button will do the job). Now the change would be when I release the button, it keeps the launch rev limiter activated until the delay expires. At this point it would release the launch rev limiter and and the transbrake simultaneous.

2.) Another feature... SLE (Starting Line Enhancer although this may be a trade name) This is used to activate a inline cylinder in the throttle cable. probably the easiest way to implement would be:

a.) Activate input upon depressing the same button (rev limiter/transbrake etc). The output would cause the gas pedal to fall to the ground and the engine would stay at idle.(the driver would then hold the pedal to the ground)

b.) there would be a user defined parameter, lets say .50 seconds. this would mean that .5 seconds before the transbrake release the output would open, throttle cable pulls open the throttle blades and then the transbrake is set to release......

In short the starting line enhancer would be like the throttle stop feature but with a negative number in the time field (and of course "keep on for" field would not be required)
