Thanks Mike. Great video, now I can finally setup motec and instead of spending countless hours on track I can spend hours and hours looking over data that I won’t understand. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain this to us “simple” folks.
I made a series of data acquisition videos 101 with AIM Sports a few years ago that might help you. They were for kart racing, but the principles are the same. (Honestly, they might be easier to understand for new people getting interested in data, because karts don't have as many channels that you have to worry about.) ruclips.net/p/PLPfId_Ovu_d_USpk-ii0bEOfnU6wQT9fm
I HIGHLY recommend to try this out! I tried a similar program yesterday and got data from an alien at Nurburgring. Drove 5 laps and compared. ACC Nurburgring Porsche 2019, hotlap with 27 track temp, usually mid 1.56 and my best time ever is 1.55.6. I immediately noticed 3 things that i did different in almost every corner. Did 3 laps with that in the back of my mind. I did 3x 1.55.3-1.55.7 barely trying. I was stunned! Think i wont have any problem driving mid 1.54 after tonight, losing .03 seconds in 2x corners (same setup).
Similar here, realizing I sometimes didn't even push the break fully or cruising too much or not getting the slow in/fast out correctly. Basically when you think you do it right but numbers show otherwise and see a 0.3 or even more lost on a single corner...
Thanks man. This is gonna help me a lot. I have spent most of my life on sport bikes so driving cars fast is a challenge for me in a sim. Having data means less frustrations and more improvements.
Thanks for this Mike, ever since I saw Chris Haye's video where his laps were analyzed by some guy, I've wondered what specific app they were using, didn't realise it was free.
Great video, Mike! Quite recently I purchased a license of a similar tool suite, Z1 Analyzer/Dashboard/Server. Comparing those competing tools I believe, the Z1 tools do a little more magic and do not require too much fiddling. Otherwise very similar, nice to see there are free tools out there offering this crazy amount of analytical data ...
HI Stephan, Z1 A great program also and easy to set up in all sim racing games , Thanks Mike for showing us this one also but cant get it to work on windows 10 IE it will save the data but Data will not load, Loosing hair by the second trying lol .
Thanks Mike nice video. I still remember when I used to tinker with the in game telemetry in Geoff crammonds gp games! This brings back memories haha! I used to compare speed traces but now we have the fancy gps stuff :)
This is awesome! Great tutorial! I was disappointed though. I thought this was available for real race car data logging 🤣 Not gaming. Whoops haha I use MoteC software on my P2 race cars.
very informative, mike, thank you!! btw, raceroom still has black friday deals until december 8th and ranked races. why not jump back into it? enjoying the ranked system a lot
Thanks for the video! Helped me get on my way quickly :). Do you have any experience with why the track map wouldn't load for me? I used another workspace I found somewhere else and the map loaded in (from the same data) without issue. Thanks!
I got a question, and this is for the MoTeC i2 Sim Racing data thing you just did. Are we able to do any of the sim racing/simcade titles like NASCAR Heat 5, SRX The Game or the new Gran Turismo 7 that released recently in 2022 all of them on PlayStation?
Brillant video mate! Just a quick question. Is there a way of saving all the work sheet with the new added gauges so you dont have to do it every time you open it up
That’s a great question. I have to be honest, I don’t use this software anymore, so I don’t have an answer for that. My suggestion would be to drop the question into their forums. Sorry I can’t be of more help
hi mate great vid, i have just done all brake gas track stuff all ok, but it doesnt save what ive done, so do you have to edit all that every time you start motec up, thanks
i cant seem to get my files to show in motec. if i bring it up in my own folders the red recording you have is opening with notepad for some reason and i cant figure out how to get it like this
@@JohnKnightbridge that’s weird. And I’m sorry, I don’t know what to offer. It should work with a controller, but I can’t say that with 100% certainty. Maybe see if there’s a forum you can join where you could ask the devs directly. Wish I could help, but I only have a basic understanding of it
My map is not showing, all i get is a black screen with the track name in the top left corner, i cant find anything on the interwebs to help me out , just wondering if you had any ideas to fix it.
I got the same problem, Track Report Tab is black (no track layout visible). Also in the tab "Section Times", there is an error message "Could not find 'Outings:Laps:Track Sections: Default'. Is it necessary to drive some clear laps to get the correct track data? Or where does the track data comes from? Throttle, Brake, Speed and is working fine in the "Driver"-Tab
@@raumbord yeah kinda sucks that he doesn't answer questions, if you don't know all ready in ACC go to the electronics part of the car setup and then go to telemetry and set it to something like 10 laps, then it will capture those laps, as far as the track map I got it to kinda work, it shows the track BUT its just a circle not the track layout which is still useless, if I can figure out how I did it I'll let you know, just sucks that these people with knowledge won't help out the newbies.
@@r.c.d.creations7402 yes, the track shows up correctly (Nuerburgring), with speed limits, gear indication and so on (like in the video). Don’t ask me why it’s working now, i didn’t change anything, I only performed some clean laps (with telemetry on) in a row, without any cuts or penalties
@@SimRacing604 I find it still has much to offer especially with the 10th Anniversary graphics patch from the good guys at RD. Ffb is not ACC levels but if you set it up well it still feels pretty good.
maybe someone can help me.. I just used this to download motec. thanks! everything looks good... except motec shows lap times, but there is no data. Maybe I missed something?

Excelent content!
This helped me out bigtime! Motec, if i only realized sooner.
Thanks Mike, its good to have you back :)
Awesome Information!!! Thank You!! can you do a video on how to add video of desktop (Race) to Motec
yep, excellent video, thank you for making it, just featureful enough to quickly get one started and engaged!
Thanks a lot. That really helps to understand my driving style a bit better I guess. Stay healthy mate.
Excellent Mike, I can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing it buddy 👏👏👏👏👍❤️

Absolutely! It’s been a great find for me too
You are insane! Thanks for the really simple and organized video! Motivated me to try motec, have a nice day :D
You too! Thanks for watching
Great job, Mike! Thank you! Now I only need to force myself off of AMS2's Nordschleife back to ACC...
Haha, hopefully there’s enough time for both!
Thank you for this tutorial..! Definitely takes my weekend sim driving (I rarely race) to the next level
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching

Not gaming. Whoops haha
I use MoteC software on my P2 race cars.
The data shows in the file, when i dbl, click red larger file, Motec opens has laps but no graphs
You need to open Motec go to File -Workspaces and select Acc Base, then close it, and try opening the file again, that's what fixed the problem for me
@@AlexanderOrion Thanks, worked for me too

@@TheAlphaFox nothing right now. It would be MOTEC if I went back to using telemetry
Awesome...will it make me any faster...probably not, but great fun will be had...
hi mate great vid, i have just done all brake gas track stuff all ok, but it doesnt save what ive done, so do you have to edit all that every time you start motec up, thanks
I do believe that’s the case, yea. I think this is typically used on dedicated PCs which wouldn’t frequently close sessions
Tkanks for sharing.
Thanks buddy, installed and analysed all my data. I'm still shit, what now?
i cant seem to get my files to show in motec. if i bring it up in my own folders the red recording you have is opening with notepad for some reason and i cant figure out how to get it like this

Is it possible to use MOTEC with Rfactor2?
Hey! Can you tell me where I can get motec logs of fast racers? thanks
Ive herd you can have head tracking in acc. But it says i need to turn my tracker ir on in my acc files which i cant find any were. Can you help
Thanks great vid, but my track doesn't show, it's just a circle with the data, not the actual track shape, any ideas?
Even after you run a few laps?
@@SimRacing604 yeah even after a few laps, does it track your input device to draw the lap? I am using a controller. Don't know if that effects it!

Hey mike, great video!
How do you connect the lap replay video with the motec data?
Thank you! I had to add it manually in post, unfortunately. The VBOX software on Steam has video recording and synced playback, but it’s expensive

same here did you crack the code?
@@bblitefootbilly3243 in file / workspace choose base acc.

Steam Autumn sell is on! Mind to take a look Mike?!😊
Yeah, I could have a quick look... I’ll try my best to publish something, but no guarantees....
is the pro version free? i downloaded it and 90% of the tool icons are greyed out .
Old comment, I know, but if anyone is wondering - yes, Pro is free with ACC
Is it possible motec with automobilista 2?
Histogram is the most important for damper settings on acc
Can you give more details? How do you make use of it? How to correlate with the settings and know how to change them?
@@inebium go to motec histogram on RUclips to understand
Or: join an esports team and have someone to do all this for you 😂
Motec make you faster
But it doesn't work with a ps4
doesnt work for me
Do motec lower FPS
No. It doesn’t need to run concurrent with the sim. The sim just records data like normal
