I need to modify my RC files somehow?
First the throttle data (from an Obdkey) is maxing at @86% WOT and not 100% and hence looks bad on the Trackvision Motec gps overlay. I believe I can use Excell or some other tool (any Mac based?) that can change this from 86 to 100 and adjust everything in relation???
The other issue is, I have no direct braking data but I do notice the red brake on some of the Trackvision overlays with sliders but on the Motec there is nothing on the brake. Could the csv also be adjusted to make the brake go red based on braking gforce from the gps???
Lastly...I have no gear data..I really though I was getting this with the Obdkey. Apparently this is fairly easy to derive. I do not have a lap driven in each gear at a constant rpm to make this really simple...is there a way to derive this data and ultimately insert it in to TV Motec???
BTW...I have never gotten Danas to really work...probably just me...but Danas has a gear calc section where you can input values???...could I export RC to Danas, add the gearing in a post process and then export Danas to Trackvision...as a work around???
I hope future RC will export all data channels including Odbkey to Danas too.
Any suggestions appreciated,
Morgan

=G1/0.86
into a cell on the spreadsheet, where G1 is the first cell in the throttle column. You can then paste the results back into the throttle column.
As for the braking using the G meter, I suspect that's easy to do but I'm not sure what the format is for the brake column. The RPM is related to speed and gear. If you know what speed youre doing at a certain RPM in each gear, you can calculate the gear from that data.
If I had a sample file, I could write a VBScript that would normalise the data, calculate the gear and add the brake data, based on negative G. Is there a sample CSV file with all the data in it? If so, I'll knock up a quick script to parse it.
not sure if this has what you need but I think it is the most complete export.
thanks!
Gear channel heading = Gear , neutral value = 0
Brake channel heading = Brake Flag, values = 1 [on], 0 [off]
thanks
I did some basic testing and this resolves the throttle issue and adds the brake column with 1 and 0...the gears do not load properly though???
I entered 77% for throttle
I entered this for gears (found a porsche 993 gear calc online...figured it should be close)
1=24mph
2=42
3=61
4=88
when I enter these I get a few 1s and 2s that's all.
As for Trackvision...the end product here, the throttle works great but the gearing I'm not sure yet and the brake does not display. I have inquired to Trackvision about that...so I will get back to you soon...thanks again. Here is a link to the original and modified files http://tr.im/rgrL
