Quote from lrdbsi :
If you dont like drifting in lfs,
its because you cant,, and you know it!

There's your problem just kidding, as I'm sure Bob will tell you this isn't really a LFS tool but rather a true, real life car analyzer that just happens to work with the LFS cars 'cause the physics are so darn good.

Ok this is the sheet I'm starting to use. It's designed to be printed to an 8.5x11 sheet and folded to be used in a 5.5x8 binder (option 2 in the instruction images)

So I had some time to kill and thought I'd give this a try. I've attached a screen shot of an excel file, it shoudl fit a B5 sheet nicely or keep it open and fill it in digitally. The excel file needs a little readme to help explain how the formulae work for the Timing Statistics section but I don't feel like doing that until I'm ready to release it (if I ever do :P)

I'm gonna print a few of these, toss them in a small binder and see if it's helpfull or not. If a few others could do the same and give me some feedback I'd appreciate it. I'm looking for thngs like layout / content etc...I think I'll add some check boxes above Track Name for Setup type:Sprint, Endurance, Drift, Drag

Another thing I'm going to try is the language bar, it will perform speach to text in word OR I'll get a free voice record prog. so I can "dictate" my comments on the setup as I drive. (Hopefully this will get around the fact that I loose all my tire heat data as soon as I leave the track)

edit: updated image w/check boxes

I'd be willing to make up an excel sheet we could all use if folks want to give me some input as to what they are thinking/want to see. BTW I've asked Bob to include a .csv export to the VHPA so I could integrate his data with the spreadsheet but I don't know for sure yet if it'll fly.

I like the idea of adding a comments section to the setup screen & while we're adding things I'd like a field added for Setup Best Time (wrong thread I know). Really I think the whole concept of how setups are saved, stored & retrieved needs to be re-worked.

Ye that's what I do as well (I've been meaning to get a notebook) I name mine: TRACK CODE-PB TIME (* for testing)....if I did 2:21:18 at Kyoto GP I'll drop the 2min. and name the set: KY3-21.18 then copy it to test and name the copy KY3-21.18*, make a little change, test and if I dont like it put it back.

This really dosen't work for different setup combinations though, I tried to print a spread sheet but it was a bit to cumbersome if someone else has a form or something I'd be intersted in sharing

for me anyway driving a RL track enhances my enjoyment of watching a race on tv, when they say that's a hard corner combination I KNOW what they are getting at, or when I hear that Schuey takes eau rouge flat out I really know how hard that is to get right time & again

as for QUALITY RL tracks, there are tons out there that can be converted & I know a number of very talented track makers that can do the level of work consistant with LFS.

yeah of course but what i was thinking was that either LFSworld or LFSforum could be the "master" location for player avatars and then, similar to player stats, if someone updates their avatar in one place it updates at World and any team website
