Per-driver wing levels in performance file.

Issue #190 new
Douglas Spangenberg created an issue

I noticed that, in a laps.log file, the recorded Wing levels can vary from driver to driver. (Unless this is just a bug with the logging mechanism? :D )

Example:

Entry,C,27,"Jean Alesi","Ferrari","Ferrari",1,18,17,57.500,27,35,42,49,56,61
Entry,C,28,"Gerhard Berger","Ferrari","Ferrari",1,18,16,57.500,27,35,42,49,56,61

Would it be possible to implement a way of choosing, by way of performance files or similar, which drivers have wing levels that differ from those in a tracks magic data?

For example (with Alesi as Driver00 and Berger as Driver01):

[Wings]
Driver00=18,17
Driver01=18,16

And leaving out a particular driver's entry would default them to the Magic Data values.

    It should be possible.

    The rear wing is adjusted based on the physics configuration data of the executable. However, this part of the physics is not covered by the physics editor (and it's not the only data not being covered). I'd need some more time to reverse engineer the exact formula. It's not clear to me how it can be different from driver to driver though.

    After this, but this is not reflected in the log, the downforce from wings can be adjusted even more. This includes damaged wings. In theory this can be used to implement DRS.
