I will definitely do it.
Now that the Pro-Gauge controller is finished I will have more time to do these small improvements.

Regards

Awesome, if you need any more help testing more than happy.

No problem, thanks!

Any chance I could get a hold of that beta release again like is linked above?

Great! It might be better off showing the brake bias as all 4 digits instead of removing the trailing 0s. Eg it now shows 62, 62.25, 62.5. It'd be better if it was 62.00, 62.25, 62.50 etc.

The Lotus still shows bars out by 1 but thats not a huge deal I dont think. Not much you could really do unless it was possible to offset by 1 the value based on the car you're in.

Thanks!

Hello.
If you want Brake Bias to be displayed with two decimal figures, you have to change (in the SimScreen editor) the "Format" property to:

{0:0.00}

I am going to update SimDash with these changes and some bug fixing.
Thank you for the time spent testing this stuff.

Actually, I think I have found other values for IRacing but for a series of reasons I can't test them easily.

Would you like to help?

Cheers
Cristiano

I'd be more than happy to

Hey Cristiano,

Looks better yes, except now the Brake Bias seems to be rounding up to the nearest full number instead of showing the two decimal places (which is required as generally it moves in 0.25% increments). The Front and Rear Antiroll Bars now shows the single digit which works fine (excluding the Lotus which is still showing 0 for soft and throwing the rest out by 1). I have attached some pictures to demonstrate.

Sorry, I mean the range in iRacing is only 1-6 or Soft - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - Hard

So, if I understand correctly:

- antiroll bars: I have to remove the last 2 digits.
What's the range of the values you get? is it 0-100?

- brake bias: from the IRacing documentation, this is supposed to be from 0 to 100, but I can see it is not.
(Lotus 79). If you exclude the Lotus 79, what are the typical values?

Thank you
Cristiano

Hey Cristiano,

Typically the values go from 100 - 600, but some can go from 000 - 600. You only need to display the first digit, ie 0 - 6. So far I think only the L79 can show 000 (soft). I did not test any oval cars but I can if required.

Brake Bias is showing four digits, eg 57.50% brake bias is displayed as 5750 which is fine. On some cars however they start at 0, and move forward and backward showing -25 and 25 (-0.25% and 0.25%).

I can take some screenshots if it would help make things clearer, just let me know.

Ok I tested a fair few cars. It works pretty well as it is, however the antiroll bars only need to be 1 digit instead of 3.

The brake bias works well too, it shows 4 digits which is fine (2 decimal places).

One issue though is with the Lotus 79, it shows its brake bias like

soft - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - firm
this appears like so in the Simscreen
000 - 100 - 200 - 300 - 400 - 500 - 600

It not that big of a deal really, but it might get confusing when the screen shows 2 and the SimScreen shows 1 (100).

Thanks for this Cristiano
