[rfe] color docs for tire temperature #14

Closed thoraxe closed 1 year ago

thoraxe commented 1 year ago

Hi there,

This is not a bug report but more of an enhancement request. I don't really understand how the *_color_surface values are supposed to work for coloring the tire temperature.

My settings are the defaults of:

        "font_color_surface": "#000000",
        "bkg_color_surface": "#222222",

But #000000 and #222222 are nearly black. The display is definitely not black.

Mostly the tire spends time between red (cold) and yellow (hotter) which makes no sense.

I'd like to mimic the rFactor2 native style color temperature behavior where blue is cold and orange/white is completely overheated. There's basically no color/visual difference right now between normal operating temperature (~145F) and "burning up hot" (210F+). Maybe this is a bug with C versus F?

Any tips here?

Hi, thanks for reporting. You are correct, it is a mistake where color assignment happens after C to F conversion, so F value does not match the heatmap range using C unit. I'll fix this asap.
