set local time
Is there a way to have racecapture put local time, instead of GMT in the time stamps for log displayed times? This would be nice, so we don't have to mentally convert each log file to try to match to video files and such. I can't seem to find a way to do it or any reference to it. Thanks.

+1 either this or just add Timezone as a configuration setting.ferg wrote:Perhaps the race capture app could send the timezone from the app's device to the RaceCapture when the configuration was written.
Another idea would be to use the timezone of the track that has been detected or manually selected. Although the configuration value would be available sooner when booting up.

Re: set local time
I'm still trying to understand why my racecapture app doesn't time stamp the log with local time. I use a GoPro and the MK3. I often do 5 or so events in a weekend or track day. When I get home and try to put it all together, the time stamps from the MK3 never coincide with the actual times. I think they are in UTC time, but would need to look back again to be sure, and it sometimes even seems to not be consistent in the time zone it stamps it to. Since it doesn't time stamp the local time, it is often very difficult to match the videos to the data. Any help?
