8. Flashing text in the upper right of the main screen of Pc Lap counter when it's a qualifying or practice session
   
9. Fix bug: Interface lap time was taken after 2 laps, now PCLC take interface lap time after first lap.
   
10. Fix Bug: Pitstop detection with Parallel port: the lap time of the Lap following a pit stop is not correct and sometime reach the lap records, this situation is normal because the pitout signal is send after the car leave the sensor and so you win at least 10cm (the length of your car), to avoid that situation PCLC now add 1 second to the lap following a pit stop (this only for people who use the parallel port also for pitstop detection).
    
11. Zoom window: now zoom window have a windows menu.
    
12. Fix bug: PBpro : race was not paused when all drivers finish their lap and options "all drivers must finish their was ON

This is not the final version, other features will be added in version 4.58

Thanks Guy - blinking starting lights work fine

I'd have a (hopefully) small modification in mind. I'll post it in the wish list forum

Regards and thanks again

"Starting lights: new option : "Let all countdown lights BLINK during pause"."

Cool Option!!!! Only problem I just saw in testing is it also blinks the "STOP" light, not just the 1,2,3,4,5,6's

Any way to tell it to leave stop alone?


PS. Yellow Light (Light #3) turns on when the race is over
Thanks!

PCLC 4.58 will not be released because new interfaces still have to be validated (Scorpius and AMBrc), the next version will be PCLC 5.00
PCLC 5.00 will have a new graphical interface with full XP and Vista look , and it will also content update for blinking lights (it will blink only during track call).
The display setting of PCLC 5.00 allow you to specify transparency, gradient color and more...

Here is a preview of PCLC 5.00

PS:
PCLC 5.00 will not work with windows 98 anymore but i think this is not a problem

WOW GUY! Very Nice Look! Can't wait!

It looks great!.

I will be waiting for it.

regards.
Eduardo.
