Wheel Slip "LEDs"
« on: December 05, 2020, 02:54:20 PM »
Unzip this into steamapps\common\assettocorsa\apps\python.
"LEDs" light up when a wheel is slipping - blue in the front, red in the rear.

It looks like the attached pic.
Let me know if it's useful, or you'd like to see it a bit different.  I have access to the amount of wheel slip up until it loses grip, so can show bars etc. But I thought the main thing to see was when a tyre had lost traction.

It's a very small app!

I've updated the app in the 1st post so that it shows the delay between tyres slipping, e.g. do your front tyres slip before your rear, left before right etc. Handy for tuning ARBs, diff, maybe even dampers...

Positive numbers mean "right before left", or "rear before front". Negative numbers are the opposite, i.e. "left before right", or "front before rear".
The numbers are 100ths of a second, e.g. 40 = 0.40 seconds.

The top number is the front delay, left to right. The bottom number is rear, left to right. Side numbers are that side, front to rear.
So in the attached picture, the rears started sliding 0.47 seconds before the fronts on the left, and 0.30 seconds before the fronts on the right => indicates oversteer. RL started sliding 0.17 secs before RR, etc.

If you don't like the numbers, edit WM_WheelSlip.py and change "drawGaps = True" to "drawGaps = False"

If you want the numbers to stay visible a bit longer, edit the py file, there's a line in there something like "display Time = 1". Just make that number bigger - it's how long the numbers stay up, in seconds.

I'll do that, I'll want them there on the exit of the corner.

[edit]
the line is "textDuration = 5  # Seconds"
(I think, I still haven't tested it yet)

Yep that's the one. I changed it to 5 as well, otherwise you don't really get a chance to see the numbers.
