    In yours examples you increase weight in your simulation but you keep same cornering compliance. This is maybe not possible in the real car, since the change in load on tire will change cornering...

    Look at very old pictures from FSUK - I remember seeing pictures of teams adjusting CGH to make better acceleration. Make high ride height will help to put more distribution on rear in longitudinal...

    Danny, congratulations on the good results, I enjoyed the video. Can you explain how you know the change in downforce from the dive planes? You do wind tunnel testing to learn this values?

    I would said you can try to set this following coeffiicents to zero: PHY1,PHY2,PHY3,PVY1,PVY2,PVY3,PVY4

    If looking at the equation you see they will shift the curve up & down and left&right.

    I would feel that the added roll angle of Mx acting around IC will small on race car with stiff suspension. I think decrease in vertical spring stiffness of tire when Fy is high makes a bigger affect...

    Maybe you should tried it, its classical mechanics.

    All the questions you discuss have to do with the tire force and calculations of slip quantities.

    Wouldn't the rolling shutter just show up as a bias in your calculated slip angle? And since you'd have to zero the angle anyhow, would it really be an issue?

    I'm guessing the only thing would be...

    Also is important the effect when you have downforce because you can change balance with speed. With more compression of suspension the stiffness will change (maybe even balance front to rear), this...

    I think we has to thinking about the tyres, because the limit of the diagram will deppend on the tyre limit. Which is the shape of your tire curve at the limit? If one axle has a big drop-of and the...

    To be fair the roll angle not really a suspension parameter, it is a vehicle parameter. If you read 10 mm displacement on your front right suspension, you don't know if that is coming from roll or...

    What is the largest forces acting on the suspension coming from? (I wonder if the FSG technical commitee know this?)

    I think one good way to improve safety would be to disallow this forces,...

    James,

    Before you maybe start looking in which software you want. Maybe you should ask what you want the software to do?
