Question for Bill and Ted et al - Page 2 - Pace and Cap

Steve,

On the left image, you point to the TrackMaster Speed Rating; on the right you point to the software computed Adjusted Speed Rating. Two different ratings. As Bill points out, the DTV was a very slow 23 and the TM SR is inflated to that extent. On the Adjusted screen, you can see that when the DTV is extracted from the TM SR (Net SR) it is a much more pedestrian 73. The software Adjusted SR (and also all the subsequent energy figures related to those adjusted times) always even out fast and slow DTVs and fast and slow track/surfaces - ITVs (if you leave thoe adjustments enabled in the Configure window).

As for myself, instead of using the Adjusted SR (based on final time alone), I tend to rather use Perceptor Total Line Score, Total Energy and Tpp as guides to paceline selection. Perceptor Total is analagous to the old F6 Paceline indicator in Validator 2/3, and is the aggregate of the 7 Primary Factors. Doc told me (in the Follow Ups) to let the computer select the lines, so I do (except when I don't...).

From all evidence though, I see smart players like Bill V and Vanoy using the good old Adjusted SR to great effect, so also give that a try if you like. Much of the time, you'll get the same answer.

Re the image sizes, I think there is nothing wrong with the vBulletin site on that particular count (other things, yes). Try uploading those 2 images again as 2 separate attachments to the same post, and I think they will be larger.
