F1 23 UDP Telemetry Data and Bottoming Out
I saw in the new F1 23 telemetry data there is a new field called "m_heightOfCOGAboveGround"
Does this mean that telemetry software will now be able to tell us when we have bottomed out?

COG stands for center of gravity, so I don't think it stands for bottomed out
@zombie182 In looking at this again, as a stand alone, you are clearly correct.
Is there a way to use" the above ground" to connect to other variables to be able to show whether the car has bottomed out?
@dwin20 following with interest…
The CoG is quite a bit above the floor of the car.
So, if you bottom out the CoG, you have quite literally sinked the car into the ground 😅.
@DavidGG53 Not a good outcome 🙂
Do you know what the new 30-50 range in ride height (front and rear) means in terms of actual measurement of the floor from the ground? Thanks
@DavidGG53 Trying to find the number for the range in floor height IRL was not easy to find and not sure what I found was correct. What I did come across is a range of 30mm to 80mm. If the 30mm was equivalent to the 30 rating in the game - then couldn't you calculate the drop required in COG to be bottoming out (based in the plank thickness as part of the equation)? The one additional problem here is that UDP does not say what the COG number presents.
Also COG represents a flat surface - but couldn't height and angle be determined the suspension position and the bottoming be adjusted accordingly? Or is my understanding of this just way off? (Given how I started this thread - quite possible).
