BoNI Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 also depends on what car you are using and how are stiff the shocks... a travel of 10mm can be used in formula cars (but in nkpro it is difficult to stiffen the dampers so much without making them stop on the packers, until kunos tells me otherwise )... with touring cars instead, you can use shock travel little more long, as 35/40 mm...

lratafia Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) so i can see packers setting sounds as important as every other thing involved, how is it related to damper settings? you can mess up the suspension setting if you start a new setup and don't pay attention to that settings Packers or bump rubbers can be used to prevent the springs or torsion bars compressing too far Packers are composite spacers placed on the piston rod of the dampers.

BoNI Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) generally more the shock is stiff, and less it should move. the values of critical give you a hand to understand as the shocks are set on to the spring used... to know exactly how much the shock works the only way is to use the AIM... if the shock (without packer) works for 20mm, and you use a 10mm packer, you know that over 10 mm of compression you are going on the packer... and if you go to the packer in corner is not too good...

lratafia Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 how do you activate the Suspension Analisys in raceanalisys software? (if possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoNI Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) press the suspension analisys button, configures the green as in the screen (values that i asked to Kunos few years ago), and blue as the maximum value of the full scale measurement (may change from time to time), configure the channels of the suspension in the 4 drop-down menu, have fun! EDIT: movements between -130 and 130 (i dont' remember if + is bump or rebound, i think bump but i'm not sure) should be controlled by the slow dampers, higher speed from fast dampers. in nkpro is almost impossible to have a graphic like this, probably because nk values of the suspension are taken to the wheel (i think) but we don't know where they have placed the detection sensor in the real car (that i have taken as from example inthe screen). however, there is nothing better than trying to understand how it works...

lratafia Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hi Boni, thank a lot for your quick reply, but the problem I have is the option is grayed out, so I cannot press the suspension analisys button, I have the latest version of RS2, I will try with an older ver. Or maybe is there sth I have to do to enable it, but from the help within the software I couldn't manage to do it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoNI Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 now i can not see what version i have installed. however, you must press the icon with the blue shock to enter in the screen that i showed you. of course you must have open a lap.. you can try with an older version...
