rec.autos.simulators

I just downloaded v2.2 of this fine utility, and found the gearchange
analyser, which makes me wonder, what is a "speedshift"?  Is it good
or bad?  I'm hoping bad at the moment as I don't do many!

And that leads me to another question.  Are the revs just divided by
10, or is it not that simple?

Speedshifting is changing gear without lifting off the throttle. It's a little
bit faster (so good in hotlapping), but increases the likelihood of the car
breaking (so is not good in racing).

Apparently, the figures are an approximation, because it's tricky to extract
the true value.

Not quite that simple. The revs in the rpy-file are in some non-linear
units. Nate Hine has found some way of translating them to more
correct RPM-values, but I have yet to try this so I can't comment of
that.

Hey Martin,

Can it be that GPLRA 2.2 doesn't recognize the 6th gearchange of
the BRM?

It should... In what part of the program do you have this problem?
