Request: Meteorological data

Post by seishuku »

Any chance that meteorological data (current temp, humidity, baro pressure, etc) could be added as tune comments when tunes are saved?
Shouldn't be too hard to do, would need locale info obviously, but that's a fairly simple dialog.

It would make it a little easier to track tunes when working with things like IAT correction curve tuning, keeping tunes consistant, etc.

It is an good idea, wouldn't be too difficult. I might think the data log would be a good place for that info too.

The only problem is that most users probably don't have internet connectivity in their car. But for those who do..

yeah, or even just the temp and humidity etc of what the MS3 sees at the time. You know?
So a guy could look back ad a day from last years Putnam Park event etc. Maybe allow one compare the conditions temp from one track day to the next in some measurable way. Or morning to afternoon sessions.

Internet, at least in my case, isn't usually a big deal... Since I usually start my logs in my driveway, while I'm still in my WIFI's range.
Otherwise I could always use my phone's WIFI hotspot.

Agreed. That is an easy one.
