I'm not sure if you guys have noticed this app but it's bloody awesome. It's so easy now to set the correct camber for your tyres!!

Had no idea. Is it working well for you? I don't think I'll be able to sue it right now, but will have a look in the future. Thank you.

seems to work well,  I just was interested if I was in the ball park on cambers, turns out I have been fairly close on most cars just by feel, but its handy to know if you are close or not

Is it correct to say, when you have set your camber correctly you can get onto the gas earlier then if you had a setup less optimal?
And how much does it help with regards to braking?

The app really helps with maximising  lateral forces while cornering. The more you improve lateral grip, the more you reduce longitudinal grip. It's a compromise between the two.

Has anyone successfully added a car?
I can't get this to work:

Adding any more cars follows the same pattern as tyres-data.json, for example a fictional Abarth 500 Stage 2 with Soft, Medium, and Hard slicks:

Code:
{
    "dallara_fx17": {
            "FRONT": {
            "SM": {"DCAMBER_0": 1.2, "DCAMBER_1": -13.0, "LS_EXPY": 0.81}
        },
            "REAR": {
            "SM": {"DCAMBER_0": 1.2, "DCAMBER_1": -13.0, "LS_EXPY": 0.81}
        }
    },
    "abarth500_s2": {
            "FRONT": {
            "S": {"DCAMBER_0": 1.2, "DCAMBER_1": -13.0, "LS_EXPY": 0.8071},
            "M": {"DCAMBER_0": 1.2, "DCAMBER_1": -13.0, "LS_EXPY": 0.8071},
            "H": {"DCAMBER_0": 1.2, "DCAMBER_1": -13.0, "LS_EXPY": 0.8071}
        },
            "REAR": {
            "S": {"DCAMBER_0": 1.2, "DCAMBER_1": -13.0, "LS_EXPY": 0.8071},
            "M": {"DCAMBER_0": 1.2, "DCAMBER_1": -13.0, "LS_EXPY": 0.8071},
            "H": {"DCAMBER_0": 1.2, "DCAMBER_1": -13.0, "LS_EXPY": 0.8071}
        }
    },
}
More examples can be found in the full `tyres-data.json` file.
No matter what name I try it always says unrecognized car. :'(

Yeah , I am too dumb to figure out how to add a car,  I tried with the caterham, 
and the more camber the worse the braking,  with my style I like to brake late so my cambers are usually bit less than optimal for cornering in a lot of cars

Content Manager adds it for you. Look in "tyres_data" and there should be a file "added-by-cm". In that file I have "bo_caterham_academy_rhd".

Certainly no file by that name.
If there was, I wouldn't have the problem of it saying "unrecognized car".

Yep.
BUT, since I've paid for CM I keep getting a pop-up saying it can't update to the latest version.
I thought it was because the developer disappeared, as it did taking 3 weeks for my unlock key after donating.
I guess it's just another curse on my head though. :'(

There is an option under Settings > Integrated > Camber Extravaganza: to "Add missing tyres information". If that's not there then you need latest version. If it isn't updating then there is a permissions issue stopping the update program from over writing the old program. I just deleted and re-installed to fix that.

Where did you put CM? If you just dropped it on the Desktop like I did, then it won't auto update. You have to put it somewhere else where you have write permissions and put a shortcut on the desktop.

The only thing on my desktop are shortcuts, I keep nothing else there.
