Default FORMULATOR 4 PP's AND MERGED WORKOUTS




Looking at the new online Formulator 4 that have the PP's and workouts displayed when they happen relative to races run.

It seems like a great way to get a feel for the relationship between races and workouts.

Why isn't the paper displayed like this as it is much easier to read?

Formulator is not space conscious, and the print edition is for obvious reasons, and the cost of adding those lines in the newspaper would be prohibitive.

They still have a lot of bugs to get out of their web version. It's slow and always crashes.

That makes alot of sense but it is really nice to look at when handicapping. I can imagine the cost of those lines is pretty steep but too bad there isn't some way to perhaps merge workouts to the current race being run as a compromise. It really does make reading the info inordinately easier.

Really .....I haven't had it crash once yet. That may be something to do with your computer or operating system.

It's not my PC that crashes, I think it's a server error that I get. It happens when I try to access another race within a card and I get the error message from DRF. I realize it's just in beta. It has some positives, I am eagerly awaiting the final vers.

Have you passed along the details to DRF? That's how bugs get fixed...........

DRF would probably like the positive feedback as well given how big this is for them on the web.

If they're in beta, I'm pretty sure the errors are going down in a log. That's standard stuff in the IT development.
