Using telemetry to refine setups
Hi all, I need some help with understanding and analysing telemetry. I’ve recently got and set-up a telemetry app to mainly help me look at tyre surface and carcass temps so I can set pressu...

@Monzstar83My head hurts.
I only joke I don’t mock. As I struggle more than most with racing games compared to most sim racers. Because I’m used to my backside telling me what’s going on with a car. Most cars you get feedback through steering wheel. But most road cars are very vague. Compared to sim wheel. I’m not a racing driver: But the most similar thing irl and sim for me is look as far as you can up road/track.,
So unless you have a state of the art sim that shakes your bum. But even then it won’t truly translate the g-forces so I imagine a telemetry tool can help better understand what’s going on with your car.
glad your better dude. Covid is t so bad now. Had it. Just before Christmas. Worst thing was losing sense of taste and smell over Christmas so couldn’t taste my sister’s awesome dinner she made😡
Whereas during lockdown I lost my mum to it 😡😔

@ScarDuck14 its been a week and am just much better this last day. 2nd time I’ve had it and it was worse this time for me. Slowly on the mend. Sorry to hear about your mum as well dude 😔
With the telemetry it’s just another angle for me to potentially eke out a bit more enjoyment from 22. I don’t want to go OTT with it (as I’m a bit obsessive once I latch onto something - hence the sim racing lol), it is interesting to compare laps etc. I’m slowly getting more into the data points and understanding what I need to change with setups/ driving inputs and racing lines etc, but it is so vast and overwhelming.
One thing it has made clear to me is my braking is a bit lumpy whereas I thought it was pretty smooth - I think I need to stabilise my pedals somehow - am using LC’s which are pretty well secured to my playseat, but I think I’m getting some travel in the carpet underneath. I’ve just gotten a DD which is much better with the FFB than my belt driven base from before and it has helped with speed and consistency given the more detailed feeling.
- @Monzstar83 There are many different Playseats available.
I've seen vids where the light weight one can flex in the middle.
Have someone record you braking from a side view without the game on.
Should be obvious any issues.
Glad your fine! Had it in March and took 3 weeks for the cough to go away.

Yep, got my wife to record it a while back and can see the in addition to the give in the carpet under the brake, the playseat challenge also has some roll movement when braking, towards where the pedal tray attaches to the main cockpit frame. This is despite me securing the area further with zip ties etc so am designing a foldable, wooden frame that the entire rig will sit on, and will secure the rig to it at various points using some mechanism or other.
