It is recommended to generate track layout for new tracks you visit as it will allow lap stretching. Lap streching is used to harmonize lap distances.
Track map is generated by using distance and lateral acceleration, so these needs to be measured/logged to be able to generate the track. Also it is
How to generate track map
Settings
Setting | Description |
---|
Lap | Select the lap what is used to generate the track map |
Distance channel | Select the channel which used for distance data. By default this is 'Calculated distance'. The base channel 'Calculated distance' calculation is defined in app settings. |
Lateral acceleration channel | Select the channel which used for lateral accelaration data. By default this is 'Acceleration Y'. |
Distance vs acc ratio | This variable is used to manipulate the track shape to give better representation of the track. Typically values between 1 and 2 are normal. On average 1.5 gives good shape. |
Rotate | Used to rotate the track map. |
Tips
- Try different laps to see which one gives the best shape. Typically it's best to start with the fastest laps.
- To generate the best quality track map, try to run medium speed laps without sudden changes either in steering or throttle.
