...watching a show on how they make the new Jaguar XJ F type and at the end of the build two dweeby guys one with a computer plugged into the car, drive around the test track and are not only able to tune the engine setting, but the suspension and shift points and everything... it's ALL processor controlled!

Why didn't they use a simulator? :twisted:


because they had a test track :wink:

As does Ferrari!! :yes:


Ferrari also make the final settings change on track, using a computer to adjust :confused:
I think we are going round our own test track here :banghead:

In a bizarre twist on the technology side of things. I am sure WB will see my meaning of this. I recently rekindled my love of electronics, where as I would of just put some electronic components the fad is to just put a microcontroller in and program that to do it.

The days of turning a potentiometer are long gone! I was watching a show on how they make the new Jaguar XJ F type and at the end of the build two dweeby guys one with a computer plugged into the car, drive around the test track and are not only able to tune the engine setting, but the suspension and shift points and everything... it's ALL processor controlled!

To be fair you can pick up processors for a few quid now
