Setup Developer Tool 2018

I used this tool for 2 races last weekend with great results. First with the Boxer in AMS around Nurburgring which resulted in my first win of the season. Second one was my all time favourite race car, the 650S, in rFactor 2 around Watkins Glen. A car I really struggeled with setup wise until yesterday. Now finally I hade a fast and stable setup I can use on any track with minor adjustments. I also want to mention that I've been sim racing for 7+ years so it really feels that I should know this stuff but to get another man perspective on things is a great thing. Either you're a beginner or a veteran, SDT will help you in one way or another.

Полная лажа. Текстовый квест. Всё что мне может посоветовать эта прога я давно уже прошёл. Надеялся, что она займётся серьёзной работой по настройке с анализом телеметрии с учётом ТТХ болидов и моего стиля вождения. Ничего этого нет. Прога даже не видит авто с которым идёт работа, она лишь примерно определяет его задавая наводящие вопросы. Не порекомендую даже новичкам, лучше прочесть пару-тройку статей на соотв. тематику.

A great app that really has already in the space of a day given me a better undertanding of setup and made the whole process of finding that base set-up an easy process. One word to the wise is that the Android version was better for me since I could just have the app open beside me as I lapped and pitted etc. The functionality on both versions, PC and Android, are identical.

Just bought this a few hours ago to use with iracing, and I've already gotten good use out of it. Helped me fix a high speed oversteer problem I was having at spa in the RSR. My ability to set up cars is somewhere around intermediate. On my own, I usually arrive at a good setup eventually, but only after lots of guesswork here and there plus major trial and error. Given a specific handling characteristic, this app takes the guesswork out of the equation when it comes to figuring out the component that most likely needs tweaking. Of course, there's still trial and error, which is the nature of setups, but at least with this app I'm able to spend less time adjusting the wrong settings, and more time out on the track.

For someone trying to understand and learn the complexities of setting up a race car, this is for you!! Forget about the Flashy Lights apps or the promises of dozens of graphs. Forget about the bold claims others use to make you the fastest you will ever be. Forget about learning to read telemetry. Flashiness is there to make you buy. Bold claims are there to mislead you into believing they can make you faster. Telemetry is an advanced tool for advanced users who after years of study and experience still cannot 100% guarantee to pin point what is the car and what is the driver. So it's all useless, right? No, what you need to understand is, as a baby everyone had to learn first to crawl, then to stand, walk....and finally run! We literally did not hit the ground running and so it is here. We need to start at the very beginning. You need to get a feel for your feet (tyres) on the ground, your legs (suspension) that balance your body perfectly so that your feet (tyres) have the best chance to grip. How your feet, legs, body, indeed all your moving parts affect how much balance, grip and overall potential confidence you have to go quicker. Teaching yourself and learning with every step you take. This is EXACTLY how it is with a race car and an app such as SDT which guides you with clear explanations as to what does what, when where and why, is exactly what you need to teach yourself how to understand your car better. The only thing I have never seen an app do, is explain how to 'feel' what is happening. How to know if the understeer/oversteer/neutrality you feel is in fact the car or as a result of how you are driving. This, is in fact relatively simple, yet very few people ever explain it. There are 3 stages to a corner. Entry, mid & exit. Find a reasonable curved corner that is not too short and drive into it at something like 75-80% of your fastest possible speed. The car should not be bucking around beneath you but still be pretty quick and mid corner, take your feet off all the pedals, this is the coasting phase. Does the car continue on the same path? Yes? then it's neutral. No? does it turn into the corner more? yes, oversteer. No, understeer. Next, Entry! At 75-80% max speed, lightly apply the brakes, without activating traction control if it is available. Does the car turn into the corner more? Slightly? That's rotation. Which can be good. Too much? That's oversteer. Car decides it does not want to turn? Understeer. And finally, Exit! As you come through the corner and you see the road begin to open for you, you will still have the steering wheel turned. At this point, mash the throttle, get your foot right down. How does the car react? Does it Rocket off down the road as calm as you like? GREAT!! Does the rear decide it's had enough following and wants to lead for a change? BAD!! Oversteer. If it stops turning and tries to head right into a wall? Understeer, also bad. Now that you have this info, you can use SDT and apps like it, to make the car handle more to your liking. It won't make the car faster. The car is just as fast as it always was, You are just trying to get it into sync with your driving style, for your feel. Like learning how to ride a bicycle or how to walk and run. It helps you understand your car, to understand you as a driver, to give you the confidence in your vehicle AND THAT is what make YOU faster. Not the car. Not flahy arsed, fancy pants apps & programs. Just this, simple clear & concise. But please, understand, it is not a miracle tool. Indeed none of them are. You have to put the work in, not whatever app you're currently using. As for Motec and the like. Once you can do the basics without using a tool like SDT, then and only then go for it. Until then, this is a great app and you can use it in the sim world and the real world alike. Highly, highly recommeded.

C'est nul je pensais que je pouvais faire des réglages en direct des voitures avec différents jeux. Je regrette de l'avoir acheté.

This has been very helpful in making setup changes and drastically improving lap times. Trying to figure out what parameters to adjust to enhance a cars handling can be challenging and this does a great job of walking you through it. Great job by the developer.

Will it magically make you Lewis Hamilton? Absolutely not. Garbage in = Garbage out. But is a good starting point is what you need, or you have a very troublesome car on your hands; this is a very handy tool to have in your racing toolbox. Through a series of questions, it guides you through setup and sends you back for re-adjustments when there is a major change. There is a handy little pad on the side where you can enter your lap times to evaluate whether or not there is improvement or not. The tire temp calculator helps you determine whether or not you need camber, air pressure or ARB adjustments. Or you may need all 3! The only thing I would like to see is a different category for MR cars. While they are RWD cars, setting them up is still very different from FR cars. The 911-993 cars do not respond to the same changes as the AMG-C7R cars, although they are grouped together in this program. Just remember it's not magic. Be a better driver first. Then tune the crap out of it! Recommended!

Sehr empfehlenswert. Tolles Tool um Setups zu erstellen. Einge Einstellungen können allerdings aufgrund der fehlenden Menüpunkte in den Sims nicht umgesetzt werden. Aber da kann das SDT 2018 ja nichts dafür.
