My Video is too long for YouTube apparently, any ideas how I can upload it without reshooting the whole thing?
Think I've sorted it...

It seems that by default youTube has a 15minute cap on uploaded videos. You need to verify the account apparently? Either that are split it into Parts? Or provide a download link to Google Drive or something and not bother with YouTube?

YouTube Longer Videos Set Up

Thought I'd do my bit to support you and have made a thumbnail graphic for your YouTube Video bud. If you have any other backgrounds you'd like to use just let me know

Nice one! Thanks for that!

I meant to say that I can offer help for the app from a design perspective but am useless at coding! Have been involved in mobile apps in a previous role and worked with a developer to release my own car avatar type builder a few years back. So am able to help with general design/App Store screens etc.

Just let me know if you need any help.

These were the App Store screens for the Apple, Google & Amazon App stores...

I’ve updated the lite version.

V2 new layout and now includes the alignment settings.

Expert version is unchanged.

 

[hookedonturbo]

V2.03 expert version and 2.01 lite have been uploaded.

Small bug fixes corrected. Camber was not calculating correctly for FF cars.

 

[Galiz]

There is a problem with the lite version, the gear calculation doesn’t work anymore for 5 gears

Hmm okay I’ll take a look. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hi there. just wanted to share that thanks to your work I was finally able to get a working tune for my Focus RS 18 with the engine swap (V8-Ford-GT-LM-Test).

I am a casual driver at best, but in my hands the car is on dry just as good on Le Mans with 3 laps strategy than my other best car (Ford Mustang 429 - FM6), with this one in FM1 all along. And where it just super shines is in under rain.. You can run with IM under heavy rain with full throttle on and all good (just beware of course with breaking at the end of long straight). First time I lap cars on the track (I play in normal difficulty). I have had that engine for a while and could never find a nice tune, thanks so much.

Any better suggestion please let me know

Edited further : can run 3 laps FM1 or 5 laps FM5/6. If it's light rain only pit end of lap 3, put new hard tyres, switch to FM5/6, and you should be able to get 8 laps total. If strong rain, put inter end of lap 3, and switch back to hard for last lap for 7 laps total.

That being said, if anybody here has any suggestion on how to get it better, again I am a noob so please let me know.

I love this car/swap and was waiting for the engine for a long time! I’ll send you my tune that I have tweaked for Le Mans.

Thanks for the nice review hope it works for all your other cars!

Thank you. I edited my post due to my fat fingers modifying the gear box while taking the screenshot. Last edit aligned now to reality.

And yes this car/swap is super good !

Updated with errors in the gear calc corrected. Apologies. Both expert and lite versions have revisions.

Have you considered an adjustable "understeer-oversteer" scale for the spring and dampers similar to what you've done for spring stiffness and LSD?

Effectively something to fine tune the car's front/rear balance using the calculator.

 

[hookedonturbo]

Anyone tried the Suzuki Cappuccino with the RX7 engine swap? I was pleasantly shocked!!

I’ve tuned it to 550pp. See below.

Give it a try let me know what you think.

I have thought about this and naturally this is the next step. 👍

More than likely the last piece to add before we go over to an app.

Any other features that anyone has an idea for please feel free to let me know and we can see if can be added in before we get too far into the app development.

It's more Suzuki Espresso rather than Cappucino with this swap! Brilliant wee thing and I've previously messed about with tunes to get it to be drivable but not tried tuning it with your calculator. Will be using your settings tonight to give it a go.

One thing to note was I had to really beef up the roll bars manually and springs to higest setting 9 in the calc. It’s pitches and yaws like a goodun!

I also opted for carbon ceramic brakes as the racing discs just didn’t cut it…

I was doing more testing last night with my tune for Thursday nights race in the '68 Alpine A220. The updated YouTube video was a big help with adding/plotting the Dyno. So thanks for doing that.

The only issue I think I had was that I was confused by what kind of figure I should be putting in for the 1st gear/slow speed corner. I ended inputing a speed of 30km and this seems to have provided a decent spread through the rest of the gears.

@hookedonturbo Can you take a look over my tune to see if you think it looks about right? The race has a limit of 500pp on sports tyres on Spa so the car has been detuned and gained weight to meet the requirements. I had to mess about with the downforce to minimise the weight gain/maximise performance and figures of 74F & 152R provided the best compromise. The longest straight speed is spot on for Spa.

Any advice welcome!

Looks good from a brief overview. However are you using the latest version of the calculator? V2.04…

I hadn't noticed a new version was available. Now downloaded.

You may get some slightly different gear ratios

 

[Sprotacus]

I tried the new version and set up a new Torque curve and I'm seeing an issue with the graph info after hitting calculate. It's not pulling in the correct top speed or number of gears info? The ratios table is showing 5 gears correctly but the graphs are showing 6 gears?

I'd appreciate it if you had a look to see if it's a user error (most likely) or an issue with the calculator.

I can see there’s an extra vertical line there. I thought I had corrected this yesterday, seems not. I’ll check again.

Your top speed looks correct though…?
140mph

140mph

The top speed value is entered as 140mph but from what I can gather the graph on the left suggests the final gear change (red line) at 140mph. What does the first line mean on this graph? Both it and the blue line start from 0mph so not sure if it's relating to first gear? The graph on the right shows the correct slow corner speed at 30mph but the Shift 5>6 at 164mph.

It’s an anomaly at the moment that seems to keep popping up, I’ll see if I can get rid of these.

It’s sorted now, I’ll upload new revision now. This wouldn’t affect any of the settings btw, it purely just visual.

The spring values for the GT-R GT500s is still a little strange. In the Lite version, it's loaded in the calculator by default, and shows the below values (which are the same as the other GT500s):
View attachment 1254021

But if I switch to a different car and then switch back to the GT-R, it shows the road car values instead:
View attachment 1254022

And in the Expert calc, it always shows the road car values as above.

Just noticed something that might finally explain the weirdness with the GT-R NISMO GT500 16's spring values since v1.9.

The calculator treats the GT-R NISMO GT3 13, GT-R NISMO GT3 18, and GT-R NISMO GT500 16 as 4WD cars but they're all actually RWD in game.

Compared to v1.8 Expert when they were consistent with the other Gr3/Gr2 cars:
