Full Live Timing on Windows (& F1 Legal)

[univex]

Did some research last night and found a Android emulator for Windows. Now I am running the Official F1 app on my Surface Pro 2. You can also upgrade to Premium. Will be running multiple PC's for the race.

See http://www.bluestacks.com

Meanwhile, FOM you suck. Bring back full live timing.

But how did you get .apk on your pc?

[univex]

It is a full android emulator, you go to the Google play store and download the app. I bought a $20 GooglePlay card from the shops to buy the premium version rather than put my credit card as I don't trust google with it.

Full Windows 8.1 desktop with 3 FHD screens and a Surface Pro 2.
Location Australia
Centre Screen is Live TV running Windows Media Centre
Left Screen is SkyTV stream so I am not missing the race during adverts.
Right Screen is Android F1 App showing full timing (BlueStack Emulator)
Surface Pro 2 is Android F1 App showing driver tracker (BlueStack Emulator)

When I try to instal "Official F1 App", it sais that "Your device isn't compatible with this version". :S

I'm in a MacBook.

So by using this you can have the sector times for free?

I have installed this, got the f1 app, but its only a grey screen...

[desl]

The app is running, but I only get the leader board, like at formula1.com

Do I have to subscribe to "premium", to get the sector times?

I'm missing the sector times and the lap chart at formula1.com which I enjoyed last year ... like I enjoyed timing information on f1tests.info in the previours seasons.

[univex]

Sector times are for premium only. You need to buy the premium version. All worked well for me.
I don't have an android or apple device, so this is the method until they release a windows app.

[Undead_Mud]

I also get the message: " Your device is not compatible with this app" on a Macbook.
Does it work for anybody on Mac OS?

But thanks for finding this emulator!
I'm gonna try it on Windows in a second.

I also have the .apk file, if that is useful for anybody.
Haven't found an option to directly import it into the emulator yet though.

nice1, I see you have a web cam there too... any chance you could stream the times live for us...?

[Cold Fussion]

What benefit does this have over the regular website live timing (apart from the car tracker)? I've tried the official app on my iPhone, and it didn't seem to display the time gaps between drivers on the sector time screen.

[alexx_88]

... sector times and gaps, if I'm not mistaken

This app is so crappy...it is ridiculously slow, has a lot of bugs and visualization errors.

At least you can use it on as many Androids as you want. Just buy it and copy the "prod_purchases.xml" to the other devices.

@Univex:

I have tried to install this application with bluestack (beta-1 version); it didn't work;

message from google play page said:

"your device isn't compatible with this version"

thanks a lot for your response.

elno.
