How to work with the data logger?

Hello everyone,

it's my first post in there so i'd like to say a big hello to all gt4 freaks online. I've been playing the gt series since its very beginning and got totally carried away since then.

The problem i'd like to solve is the use of the data logger as a way of measuring braking-distances for various brake controller ratios. I decided to perform such tests having read Scaff's tuning guide. I'd like to perform a simple test: set the f/r brake ratio, choose a track, gain speed of, suppose, 100km/h and then do the braking. I'd like to see the appropriate curve in the data logger.

HOWEVER, as far as I'm concerned, that stupid data-logger tool wants me to do the whole lap in order to display the results! Moreover, it displays only the fastest lap, so if the second brake trial took longer, it won't be displayed!

I noticed that saving a ghost replay after each particular brake trial and loading it into data logger helps a bit, however I still don't know the following:

Is it possible to simply choose a car from the garage, choose a track, set the brake ratio, run only a part of a lap, finishing with maximum braking and then displaying that data in the %**$#@#@! data logger?

I'd be grateful for any help.

best regards,

I don't think it's possible to run only partial laps and display the logger, but of course the same result can be got in some different ways. This is my solution:

If you don't want to drive for too long, do the tests at the Super Speedway. One lap takes about 40 seconds so even restarting for another test doesn't take too long. :)

Oh, and welcome! :cheers:
 
thx for the reply, Greycap. The only thing that I need to know then is whetehet I have to save the ghost replay after each test and then load into the logger?

No need for saving if you constantly better your times, if you want to investigate a slower lap then you'll (probably, not sure) have to save. I'd begin with some parking in the back straight on the first laps to eliminate this. :D
 
thanx,

so it turns out i'll have no option but to save each replay and load it into the logger:( Ehh whadda pity PD hasn't implemented advanced test utilities in the game. Because acceleration and top speed measurement is way too few...

best regards,
