g force chart

Post by Spaghetti »

I'm not clear on how to use the g-force chart. What are all those little icons on the bottom left corner? Why do they change the position of the observed points? I know I can go up to 1.2 side g-force with my motorcycle tires, so I would like to read the g-force at each corner.

The G-G diagram is mostly used to see the overall driver maturity, not to analyze a specific turn. The icons are used to correct misaligned acceleration values.

To check a certain turn, switch to the lateral acceleration chart and zoom in to cover a specific section of the track.

I see linear acceleration but not a lateral acceleration chart.

Pages start with Speed, followed by G-G, followed by Lateral/Lean, followed by Lineal Acceleration...

I don't understand. Lean angle is different than lateral acceleration. Which chart shows the lateral g-force?

Lean angle is calculated from lateral acceleration. The lean chart replaces the lateral acceleration chart for motorbikes. To see lateral acceleration, you need to exchange the motorbike by a car for the lap analyzed. To do this, select the lap in Lap List and select Undefined (or any car defined) in the Vehicle row. Return to the Charts to see lateral instead of lean.
