Hi all,

Is there somewhere a detailed explanation of what the different 'scales' in the 'forces view' actually mean and how I should interpret them.

I found some threads in this forum on specific issues but did not found a complete overview.

thanks in advance!

Have a look here:

Good luck!

I hade a look at the manual and understand how I can see that the wheels are sliding or not.

From this I can also extrapolate that the arrows in front of the tyres indicate how much traction they have and if the arrows become red that I'm putting to much power on the wheels.

But I have a hard time interpreting the arrows on the top and on the side of the wheels. Those on the side, are they linked with the live-camber ?

Is it really that hard to understand by experimentation?

The orange bars are vertical load. More load = more grip on that tire.

The lateral bars are lateral force.

The light blue bars indicate downforce.

The light yellow bars indicate aerodynamic drag.

And if the vertical bars turn red, you've run out of suspension travel and are hitting the end stops.

And if the light yellow bars turn plaid, you've broken the speed of light.
