1) Tranny gear off one gear, I looked at the display object & don't see where to adjust this, car is 6 speed stick.
2) I changed the map display to a more "correct one" #2 lap, but the red dot (car) does not navigate on the map.
Thanks.

For the transmission gear display, you would just need to set the adjustment to +1 or -1, depending on which direction it's off...
In TrackAddict's video overlay: Tap the "Gear" button and select "Gear +1" or "Gear -1"
Or, in RaceRender: Double-click on the data file under "Input Files" list, then go down to "Transmission Gear" and set the "Adjust" box to the right to either be 1, or -1.
As for the map issue, I would really need more information (and ideally, the data file) to determine what's happening there.
Thanks Weston, I'll see if it happens again on the map thing & moving dot.Quote:

That's correct... The gear number is not available from standardized OBD-II parameters, so we usually have to rely on our own analysis of RPM vs Speed (both from OBD-II) to try to figure it out. As such, it sometimes can't be perfect, so the adjustment options were created to help with that.
I too am having this issue, and using the adjust menu to add 1 gear does get it to show correct gear placement with the exception of 1st gear, it now just skips 1st gear. How can I correct this in my video, and if there is nothing I can currently do, what can I do in the future to make this algorithm more accurate?Quote:

As with any estimation, there's no perfect solution, but the lack of first gear detection typically comes from an insufficient amount of suitable data recorded while in first gear.Quote:

In any case, the simplest answer for now would be to have more data recorded with you in first gear, holding a steady speed or accelerating, so that its gear ratio will stand out when the data is analyzed. That's of course easier on vehicles with longer gear ratios. If on a road course track, you might try keeping it in first gear for a bit longer when first entering the track. The hardest case for this would be rapid acceleration from a standing start, where you never return to driving in 1st, such as in a drag race.
Is there a way to do this in TrackAddict if you didn't record video?Quote:
