Handy spreadsheet to help set up suspension & aero.

Hi Dan,

As if you need any leg ups....LOL

Once you have extracted the HDV file from the 'vehicle name' main.mas with the rfactor mas tool, you load my excel file into excel, read the read me first, allow macros, your choice and select the crit damping page ( either/or )
and select the big pink/purple button and navigate to where you extracted your HDV file and select it, it does the rest. Its actually the whole point of it..............ITS   WAyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than manually inputing everything into a spreadsheet, let alone find all the info you want to use.  It takes seconds, not forever 

If you are comparing my calculated results to your own setup save files, you open the hdv FIRST, then using the big yellow button import your svm (setup file, best also if you copy any of these files to where your hdv file was extracted ) of that vehicle, which will update spring setting and calculate best damping for that. Do this via the crit damping multiplier first and then the fine tune section top right where you alter percentages to get closer matches to your setup file results. Bear in mind that if you're used to a particular damper/balance setup any of this may seem weird and a waste of time. Its a tool that may be useful, or not, for you.

Most of the time vehicle dependent, you will be using 1.5 or 2 times rebound damping and largely leaving bump alone, but I start with crit damping figures which are about 2.5  X rebound vs bump and reduce rebound only to get the feel right. The top right section is to alter percentages to suit the natural way you tend to set up your cars, via using your best setups, which gives you a head start in setting new cars up for practice sessions.

Hope this helps. Happy to try and answer relevant questions if I can

I will one day set it up so it will also write svm files to make it even more helpful
