Telemetry more task oriented:
Let's take the Pitwall - Car (should be renamed to Chassis and Suspension?). The first thing to me is 'Great. But what should I do with it?'
Even having some knowledge on setups I do not know...
With my so-so level of knowledge there are two main tasks for me in the Chassis area:
A1. Maximize top speed on straight by lowest possible ride height.
A2. Assure positive aerodynamic balance (RAKE ANGLE) by lifting the back a little.
In my attached example from Fuji:
A1. I don't the means to achieve A1 because I don't have FRH/RRH mapped to distance (locations on the track);
I need to know where the front bottoms out on the track and how severely because I might make the decision to ignore a section of bottoming out to keep my straight line max speed.
A2. You might say it's fine as rake and aero balance are kind of the same. Suggestion: provide a typical aero balance for front and mid-engine cars separately as a reference.
3. Damper Velocity: Most of my high speed dampers work "at 0.5%" on average, low speed 99+%. Does that mean I go into my in-game setup and take out all the high speed damper values to 0? Can I do any meaningful adjustment knowing "my slow speed damping is 99+%"?
Staying with the subject of maximum speed:
It's one of the basics and easy to understand by most (WILL BE USED BY USERS) so I suggest adding this task as well. And you can do it better than most. Most creators just slap a colorful RPM plot. You can provide an overlayed graph with:
a. RPM
b. Speed
c. LONGITUDINAL ACCELERATION
As laid out by the venerable Aris from Kunos .... Can't find his video, here's a short explanation on motec by a real driver.
. This happens on multiplayer sessions only, you can try an offline session and those metrics will show because they are written to the file. (
