In this Support Center Item we will explore the features that are available in all WRT maps, including fuel, ignition, other maps and RaceTools maps. Using these hotkeys will be more convenient than using the mouse to click on the buttons, particularly if you are using a trackpad on a laptop.
At the top left corner you will see a default adjustment value of 5.0%. This is the value that is used to alter the selected cells when you click the ‘Add’ or ‘Subtract’ buttons. You can also change this from a percentage change to an absolute value change by clicking the drop-down menu and choosing '+/-'.
Keyboard Number Shortcuts
Instead of using the buttons on screen in the WRT software, you can also use the number keys on the top of the keyboard or the Number Pad. Pressing these buttons will make an addition to the cell as a percentage of the existing value.
Holding Ctrl while pressing that number will subtract that number as a percentage of the existing value
Example:
A: Pressing ‘5’ will add 5% to the existing value
Pressing '5' Turns into >
B: If instead we press Ctrl + ‘8’, it will subtract 8% from the existing value
Pressing 'Ctrl' + '8' Turns into >
Using ‘Copy’ will copy your selected cells, and ‘Paste’ will paste all of the cells that you selected. You can undo and redo your changes at any time. The standard windows shortcuts for Copy (Ctrl+C), Paste (Ctrl+V), Undo (Ctrl+Z) and Redo (Ctrl+Y) will also work in the WRT software.
If you click the ‘Set Values’ button (or press the 'S' key), a window will appear that will allow you to input a specific value.
Smoothing (not available in RaceTools maps):
The ‘Smooth’ button will reduce the difference between cells in the map. If you only select one cell, using the Smooth feature will smooth the entire map. When you select multiple cells, the ‘Smooth’ feature will apply an algorithmic function in order to ‘even out’ or smooth the values based on the values in the cells chosen. You can see the effect of the smoothing function by looking at the results in the 3D graph. Here you can see in the 3D graph that smoothing an area will reduce the difference between the cells selected. You can use the Smooth feature multiple times, but each additional time it is used there will be a reduced smoothing effect as the values converge towards each other. The Smoothing function can be applied in any type of map except for RaceTools maps.
In the screenshots below we are looking at the values added to the 'Value Trim' tab.
We can select a different are of cells to smooth out a larger region if we want. Keep in mind these values are 'value trim', but the smoothing calculation is made using the actual table values from the 'Values' tab, not based off of the values applied in the trim tabs.
Below we have a visual example of the 'Smooth' function on the 3D graph.
