Two suggestions/requests

Post by rscliofan »

1. Adding track conditions, EG. Dry, Wet & Snow! and somehow implementing it into the hall of fame. Obviously track conditions can have a huge affect on times so if it wasn't too much trouble how about an option to support the weather. Even if it just placed a weather icon next to the lap time. EG. 0:53.00 (D), (W) & (S)

2. Brake pedal position. Perhaps working in conjunction with the throttle position but with a red bar. So it will show green under acceleration and red under breaking. I'm not sure how it would work with toe and heal techniques though. I know my car supports it through its on board computer to display position and brake force being applied so i presume it will be available via the obd?

Just a thought anyway.

Thanks.

The weather topic is partially implemented already (but not enabled in the production version). I thought to add this feature jointly with a full redesign of "comparability" including vehicle options (like tyre type), track conditions (see above), and even vehicle classes to compare apples with apples....

Brake pedal is difficult as the max I can do is reinterpret negative longitudinal acceleration / speed decrease as pressing the brake. Brake position is available as a brand and model specific value on our car's busses, but it is not standardized like the accelerator is. As LapTimer supports standardized values only (except some client related version), this is not possible currently.

Thanks for the reply, I thought you would have considered it already but mentioned just in case.

That's fine. Many requests come in several times but bring up additional aspects and create the actual (hopefully good) solution over time. And it every time you bring up a topic it influences prioritization ;-)
