Version 2022.3.3 of the Z1 Analyzer is available. This fixes a couple of issues and improves the functionality of the driving instructor.



* In the Driving Instructor - You can now jump directly to a turn marked for advice by left or control-left clicking on the yellow circles. This action depends on how you have it set up in the Control settings tab. This lets you skip showing the car driving round the track and go right to a turn. (We still highly recommend watching the entire lap being played back as it shows car placement and orientation throughout the lap.)

* Fixes a bug which prevented the Analyzer from connecting to rFactor 2 in live telemetry.

* Fixed a bug where the Analyzer would show the wrong track selection in the Open Lap dialog after driving laps in the Z1 Dashboard.

As always, you need the latest version of the Analyzer for the Driving Instructor to work, so you will need to update to this version for it to keep working.

The Z1 Analyzer's AI Driving Instructor can help you find seconds at your favorite track. Today's video focuses on the Rudskogen Motorsenter in iRacing. Don't waste time wondering how to improve, just load your lap and let the Driving Instructor show you where and how you can gain the most time.



Remember the Driving Instructor requires a current license, so make sure you have an active subscription. And to have it available on all tracks, you'll need the Track license.

The Z1 Analyzer's AI Driving Instructor works on all kinds of tracks. This video looks at Bark River International, a great off-road track. The Driving Instructor not only gives advice on where you can improve, but shows the angle of the car as it moves round the track. This is vital for off-road tracks as you want to see how much you are drifting in each turn.

The latest version of the Z1 Analyzer, 2022.4, is now available!

This brings major updates to the Track Walk, making it the go-to feature to learn about how to drive a specific car at a track before you get in the car. Don't waste time trying to determine the best line, or brake point, or gear and speed to use in a corner. Simply go to the Z1 Analyzer's Track Walk and go through each corner.

Easily choose the sim, track and car you are interested in.

The Driving Instructor has also been updates to include more details, such as multiple apexes; and throttle and brake point comparison. You can also play back the entire lap without having it stop for advice if you just want to see your car placement.


The new intro dialog makes it easier than ever to start improving your lap times.


Remember the Driving Instructor and Track Walk require the latest versions, so you will need to install 2022.4 to use them. Luckily if you need to update we have our end of year sale going on.

Full list of release notes:
* Improvements to how the Driving Instructor reads data from the servers. It only requests data if the track or car changes. Previously it requested data whenever the window had to be recreated.

* Satellite imagery is no longer required for the Driving Instructor and Track Walk features to work. While the goal is to have this available for all tracks it may not be possible in all cases. For example in sims that are currently in beta for this feature, such as RaceRoom, Assetto Corsa and rFactor 2. Or the track may no longer exist, such as Oran Park.

* Driving Instructor - improved how the map is zoomed when viewing a driving line. This makes sure that the entire line is visible, especially on longer turns that may go through 180 degrees or more.

* Driving Instructor - Throttle, brake and apex points are now displayed for selected turns. The throttle point shows where you and the optimal lap get back to full throttle. The brake point shows where you and the optimal lap start braking, as well as the level of braking used. The apex point displays the location of the apex(es) for the turn. These can be individually turned on or off in the settings dialog Display tab, under the Driving Instructor section.

* Driving Instructor - There is now a 'Stop for advice' button at the top left of the Driving Instructor display. With this option selected, when you play the lap the car will stop at each corner where advice can be given. This is the default behavior. If you want to simply watch the entire lap get played back in the Driving Instructor without stopping at the various advice turns, uncheck this option. Note you can still select a specific turn by left clicking on the turn icon. (Or ctrl-left-clicking depending on your options.)

* The Track Walk analysis screen has been completely revamped. It now uses the aerial map imagery. The corners numbers are now clearly marked. Click on one of them to get general advice on each turn.

* The Track Walk is intended to provide you with information on how to drive the track in a specific car without looking at a specific lap. You would use this before driving the track. Then after driving and recording some laps you would switch to the Driving Instructor.

* Track Walk - As with the Driving Instructor, Standard license holders can use this feature on one track of their choice. And Demo users can use it on Lime Rock Park - Classic.

* Track Walk - Track license holders do not need to have a lap loaded to use this feature. You can just open the Analyzer, and then open the Track Walk. If no laps are loaded then you will be presented with drop downs allowing you to choose the sim/track/car combination you want to explore. This lets you walk the track before running any laps.

* Track Walk - If you do not have a lap loaded and you have selected a specific Sim/Track/Car combination, there will be a 'Clear Data' button at the top left of the Track Walk display. Click this button to clear the current sim/track/car selection and choose a different one.

* Track Walk - When looking at a turn in detail the Analyzer will provide you with information on the type of turn (right, left, chicane, double apex, etc), and where the apex(s) is/are located.

* Track Walk - Brake and throttle information is provided where appropriate. If you need to brake for the turn then this information will be shown, including where you should brake and the amount of braking necessary. If you do need to brake, then you will also be shown where to get back to full throttle. Note these marks are guidelines, and not absolutes.

* Track Walk - Click the Show Elevation button to display a visual representation of the elevation changes in a turn. This will display an overlay that gets larger or smaller as the elevation changes within the turn. The display is relative to the turn, and not the entire track.

* Track Walk - Click the Play Corner button to see the car drive the corner in real time. The car will display the speed, gear, throttle, brake and yaw of the car as it moves through the turn. The replay happens at half speed, to make it easier to see what is happening. The replay will continue until you click the button to stop it, or change to a different turn.

* Track Walk - the throttle and brake are displayed as a green or red arc around the speed circle.

* The Track Walk and Driving Instructor now support multi-apex turns. A multi-apex turn could be a chicane with two apexes, or a sweeping set of turns that all follow on from one another and would be looked at as a single group.

* The Z1 Server UDP live feed can now accept up to 64 custom channels. (This is a Pro feature only)

* AMS2 - added support for ride heights and inner/middle/outer tire temps.

* The Introduction dialog has been updated to help with determining what you'd like to use the Analyzer for. This is intended to help new users get to what they need more easily.
