Enabling MOTEC

[Pedro van Baelen]

1 : Get from Motec Intepreter 2 and install it to the default location (if you don't use the default location you might use different paths than i use).
2 : Open your .plr file with notepad. It's located at \\gtr2demo\UserData\<yourplayername>\<yourplayerna me>.plr (change <yourplayername> with your player name)
3 : Search for the string:
Data Acquisition EXE=
and change it to
Data Acquisition EXE="C:\Program Files\MoTeC\i2\1.0\MoTeC.exe"
4 : Search for the string :
MoTeC LogFolder=
and change it to
MoTeC LogFolder="c:\MoTeC\Logged Data"

5 (Optional, may decrease framerate to an uncomfortable level) : Change the line that says
Data Acquisition In Race="0"
to
Data Acquisition In Race="1"
if you want motec to record in races as well as in practice sessions.


To see the telemetry from your laps :
1 : Open Motec Interpreter 2
2 : Create a new project
3 : Use the default settings in the wizard, you might want to name the project Barcelona.
4 : Click File->Open log file...
5 : Navigate to c:\MOTEC\Logged Data
6 : Select the lap(s) you want to view telemetry from and click the Add button, then click the Open button.
7 : Enjoy !?

Telematry??? what exactly is that and what does Motec do?

[Bram Hengeveld]

its shows the telemetry of you car, really nice tool to setup the car

[Pedro van Baelen]

i'm now testing with it but its still hard to figure it all out

[Bram Hengeveld]

The same program they use for real race cars as well, so its very delicate! But i dont seem to get much information from it that i can use in a proper setup.

The problem I see with Motec for GTR2 is the fact it doesn't record brake temperature. With cars that don't have a Motec enabled dash (MC12, Vertigo, Lotus and all the Ferraris) it doesn't give some important information.
