Car equalizer
« on: January 11, 2017, 04:01:33 PM »
We all have different cars with different charasteristics, handling and speed.
But if we race, we like to race cars that are kind of equal to each other. To make this a little easier, it would be nice to have a feature that can test the desired cars and advice or automatically change some settings for that cars to make them more equal.
Ideas:

1. Let the cars do a test one by one in which the car is placed on the track and RCS64 starts with a slow speed and increases the speed each 2 or 3 laps until the car crashes. Now we have information about each cars cornering perfmance, speed at a certain throttle level (by measuring the laptime at a certain throttle) and fuel use.

2. Let an experienced driver race each car for 5 minutes and collect the average laptime, fuel use and laps done

With the above information combined, and with some additional settings like 'Change slower cars to match faster ones' or 'Change faster cars to match slower ones' a system could be created to make a group of cars more equal.

Great idea, we actually already discussed this one, so its on the priority list.

Sadly; dont expect any updates in the near future all resources are put into the OxiGen version at the moment..
