Brake Bias and Anti-Roll Bar Info for Simscreen?

Might be easier if you PM him as I don't know what I'm talking about

Ok. I will do.

thank you

So apparently those values are available when you load a car that supports those features.

Can you tell me what car you drive when you see those values in iRDDU?

Thank you

V8 Supercar for me, but a lot of cars have that data I believe.

[Mezevenf]

Any updates with this?

I am going to create a test version of Simdash that support those values.
Are you available to test it? Because I can't...


Thank you

Hi Christiano,

I can test it out when I get a free moment.

I have put together this test version of SimDash:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3544050/SimDashTest.rar

it reads brake bias and front/rear anti roll bar settings.

Ideally you should have the simscreen to test this values, but if you haven't you can use the SimScreen Editor, while SimDash is running in the background.

In particular, I would like to know if anti roll bar settings works and if displayed data makes sense.

Thank you

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

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?

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.

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