The program works by asking players questions regarding the car’s behaviour and telemetry readings, giving a choice of answers that help the software calculate the needed changes. This approach means that even sim racers completely in-experienced??with setup work can use this tool to improve their setup.
Developed by Tim McArthur, the software covers the following areas of setup work that can be used in any simulation:
– Springs and antiroll bars
– Wedge, track bar and spring rubbers
– Tire pressures and camber
– Caster and toe
– Gearing
– Differential
– Weight distribution
– Dampers
– Aerodynamics
– Fuel calculator
– Pit stop change options
