Wheel position and suspension travel

Also on the same track is damper rates, there is a fairly good graph here:

Googling images for "shock dyno" turned up quite a few more. I would imagine this would need something similar to the engine rpm-torque table, would it be feasible to implement that?

Okay, this is implemented in R2523. I implemented it as cologne suggested. Here's an example (this goes in the suspension-front and suspension-rear sections):

Code:

damper-factor-1 = 0.08,1.0
damper-factor-2 = 0.1, 0.7

The damper-factor-* parameters define a curve for the damper response. Points are defined by specifying an x,y pair where x is an absolute value of suspension velocity in m/s and y is the factor to be applied to the damping coefficient. In this example, the damper factor will be 1.0 when the compression velocity absolute value is between 0 and 0.08 m/s, and then the damper factor will change linearly to 0.7 at 0.1 m/s (and beyond). The damper factor gets applied to the bonce or rebound damper coefficient, depending on the direction of travel. You can put as many damper-factor points as you want (just increase the damper-factor- number for each additional point).
