Dear Torcs Users,

First of all I would like to thank all the contributors to Torcs for
making this amazing piece of open source software. I'm doing research
on optimal driving and this is exactly the kind of tool that I needed.

A key aspect for my research consists in recording telemetry from the
cars. Reading the FAQ I saw that there is no such maintained
functionality at the moment but that it can be added easily. Looking
at the code it seems as this functionality has been disabled? For
instance, the function SimUpdate in simu.cpp has an argument called
"telemetry" which is not used.

I have been searching for tutorials or sample code showing how to
enable telemetry but I have not been successful. Would you mind
pointing me in the right direction?

Many thanks,

Roger.
