Smooth OBD data?

Help on issues you run into with LapTimer; in case you have a question on how to use LapTimer, use the forum "Using LapTimer" instead

To get correct gear displays, you need to configure the vehicle's gear and drive ratios, as well as wheel size. LT calculates gears from rpm, speed, ratios, wheel size.

Interesting, I wrongly assumed that was part of the OBD data stream.

Checked, looks like I had the final drive ratio wrong, or it came out of the database that way? Thought LT had most of the specs, VIN was "known".

I updated to 3.89 .

The current gear is not part of the OBD standard and there is no predefined vehicle database available in LapTimer. I tried to get my hands on something like this but all automotive repository providers fail when it comes to a complete and detailed set of gear ratios (and other data that can be configured in LapTimer). So you need to do it your self ;-)

In case anyone reading this knows about a repository available, please let me know.
