Distance/feet in datalogs

Post by hiltonlo05 »

I recently updated Megalogviewer and have lost the ability to view feet traveled in the logs. I found the formula in an old thread but can't seem to get it to work when using a custom field.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Found a work around, not the same way it calculated distance before but seems to work

New field
MPH
[VSS2]

That makes the TripFeet field work. I'm curios as to how accurate this calculation is. My datalogs watching time and MPH matches up perfectly to my timeslip et/mph, however the distance is off by like 50ft or so

I would like to get this to work also. I've tried in the drop-down menu to run trip feet. And I went back to an old thread I posted and tried the old formula and it does not seem to work. It's not putting the field into the choice menu

To get TripFeet to work, you need to make a custom field named MPH.... The formula will be [VSS2].... Or use whatever your non-driven wheel VSS is... I'm still questioning the exact accuracy though.
