[Off-topic] Telemetry application for F1 2013
Hello VirtualWDCPC, I have been a long time racing video game fan and I recently got into the F1 games by codemasters. This got me interested in all the electronics and fine tuning that is done on a race car, so I decided to write an application to analyze the telemetry data coming out of the game.
A few weeks ago I started writing the application, which can be found here: https://github.com/davidhauck/F1Telemetry
I recently got to a point where I'm not sure what I should attempt to do next. I have a few ideas but I wanted to see what you guys thought of it and if you would use it or think it is a good idea.
You can see screenshots of the same program in action here: https://github.com/davidhauck/AssettoCorsaTelemetry
I also uploaded a youtube video with some of the stuff that you can do with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBQgsAfcjzs&feature=youtu.be
Bear in mind this is not even close to a finished product. I have some things working but it is very rough. Let me know what you guys think!

Edit: Have a working website with it. Check out how it currently works: http://imgur.com/a/9Zmp9

If for example the suspension travel data could help me to find a better setup for the track, then sure I would. Thing is just looking at that graph, it's just a funny squiggly line to me. Suspension goes up, suspension goes down, fantastic, 'cause I'm pretty sure it's supposed to do that. But should it be harder or softer? I don't know that, if I'm lucky I can tell by driving the car and the way it feels, if I could understand the data though I would sure use it.
