Weather Station Recommendations?

[Ed Wright]

I never try to predict off a single run. I try to have at least three qualifying passes, with no changes to the car. With my car, Crew Chief Pro is deadly. I bought an update that uses an interface cable hooking my weather station to my laptop, so weather data Ypres automatically. I can see weather data on my laptop screen, in CCP, but it does not update the ET predictions. Evidently I am not bright enough to make it work. I had to go back to typing data in. Works great like that.

If you are using Crew Chief Pro, I can assure you that it is predicting based on a single run.

Lenny, I never have only one pass entered in Crew Chief Pro when I try to predict an ET.
I am not going to argue with you. It appears it knows which one to use. Has worked very well for me.

It doesn't matter how many runs are entered. The formulas don't automatically change or learn your car as more runs are entered.

On the Prediction screen, there is a "base run" down the left side along with its weather. To the right of that is the current weather and the effect that each weather element will have compared to the base run. The predictions are all based on that one base run that you are using. I feel most confident when I can flip through different base runs and still get the same predictions.

There's nothing to argue about; I'm clearing up your misunderstanding of how it works. I'm glad it works well for you. I've been happy with it too.
