SEQUENCE TABLES!
To facilitate the easy transfer of EDR data to the simulation we are in the process of adding Suequence tables
these can also be used to quickly add/edit steering and/or braking
we will also add a tab for speed so then
  • the tables will soon be able to be used to animate
  • the speed can be quickly compared to the simulated speed in the 3D Graphics Charts
The icons have changed such that
  • the left upper icon now is for Sequence Tables and
  • the Middle Icon is for Changing vehicle specifications and/or changing the vehicle 3D graphics model

From a users idea/request thank you!) we've now added Maximum Acceleration as well as Max X & Y Accel (for direct comparison with EDR data!)
see boxed area (no box in the actual summary!)
