Our Future Road Map
We thought long and hard about the change to a subscription model and believe it is in the best interest of Z1 and our customers moving forward. Not only does it make the Z1 more accessible, but it also allows us to be more agile with future updates and to place Z1 onto platforms that were not possible with our previous pricing model.

The subscription models allows everyone to be on the same version of the software at all times. This will make support easier. It will also allow us to push out updates much more quickly. Instead of having to wait for a quarterly updates to get a new feature out, or to support a new sim, we will be able to push out such a change at a more precise moment. This does not mean we will be putting out updates every other day, as that would get annoying!

So what are we looking to do in the near future? We want to expand the Driving Instructor with new voices, new features and better advice. And of course sometimes it rains when you are on track. Sometimes there are other cars on track and it isn't all about optimal speed, but racing.

The Z1 Analyzer will continue to improve and is already helping The University of Hawaii's AI Racing Tech program develop and train their autonomous race car (https://www.hawaiiavtech.com/). Our experience with them helps us provide you with the best possible software for training and telemetry analysis.

There are many improvements to the Designer that need to be made. Once done we can remove some legacy graphics from the Dashboard, and that allows us to implement some very interesting features based solely around the Direct X engine.

Interconnectivity is a big part of our future plans. We are looking to update and improve how drivers and engineers communicate and share data around the world.

Oh, and over the past few months we have completely rewritten the Z1 back end code. Some of it was about 10 years old! So we can tick that off our to-do-list.

Thank you for reading this. Thank you for being a Z1 customer. Thank you for all your support. Z1 would not exist without you.

The latest update of the Z1 software brings many big changes, one of which is the pricing structure.

New Pricing Model
We have updated the pricing model for the Z1 software. With the introduction of features such as the AI Driving Instructor, the Track Walks, the Z1 Designer, the ability to view other driver's laps, and many others, the Z1 software has become much more of a service over these past few years.

We have invested a lot into the supporting infrastructure, including bringing new servers online, all with the goal of providing a better service to our users.

Moving forward the Z1 software will be a subscription service. It will have three versions as it does now. You will be able to subscribe on a monthly or annual term.

Pricing is as follows:
STANDARD LICENSE:
Monthly: $4.99/month (billed monthly)
Yearly: $3.99/month (billing annually)

TRACK LICENSE:
Monthly: $8.99/month (billed monthly)
Yearly: $7.99/month (billed annually)

PRO LICENSE:
Monthly: $19.99/month (billed monthly)
Yearly: $17.99/month (billed annually)

There will no longer be an initial purchase price.

Notes for existing customers:
Existing customers may keep their current version as long as they like with no change and will not be required to subscribe to continue using it.

Any current update subscriptions will honored at their existing pricing for the life of the subscription.

Any current users who have version 2023.2 but do not have an update subscription may start a new subscription for their license type at legacy prices for the next month. This is $2.99 for Standard, $4.99 for Track and $9.99 for Pro.

Version 2023.1 of the Z1 Designer is now available. This application lets you create your own dashboards or edit existing ones for use with the Z1 Dashboard.

Some of the highlights of this release include:
Open Dialog Keyword Search


Custom Colors Now Saved


Counter-Clockwise Gauges


Graphs Include Zones


Class Specific Competitors


Many New Widgets


You can download the Z1 Designer here:
https://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/demo.cfm

Here is the full list of release notes:
* There is now a Keywords text field in the Open Dashboard dialog. This will check the entered text against the names of the dashboards on your local computer. This will filter the results, showing only those dashboards whose names are an exact or partial match.

* Warnings: Water Pressure is now available as a warning.

* You can now assign a background color and stroke color to the bounding box of a data channel object.

* Widgets: Previous Lap Time has been added as widget. Unlike Last Lap Time which show the time of the lap just completed, this shows the time of the lap prior to the last one.  So if you are on lap 10 this will show the lap time from lap 8.

* Widgets: Added 'My iRating Change'. This will display your iRating change based on your current position if you are in an iRacing race.

* Widgets: Added 'Current Sector', 'Current Sector Time', 'Sector Time'. The 'Sector Time' option lets you choose a specific sector to display (1-20). The time will be the last time recorded for that sector.

* Custom colors are now saved by default when you exit the Designer. You can turn this functionality off by going to the Colors tab in the settings dialog and unchecking the Save Custom Colors option.

* You can now remove a color from the list of custom colors, by right clicking on the custom colors in the Color Chooser Dialog, and selecting the 'Delete Color' option from the popup menu.

* Standings Tool: New options have been added: Delta gap to the overall leader; Class position change.

* Competitors Tool: There is now an option to have the object apply to only cars in your class. Check the 'Show Your Class Only' option to enable this.  If this is not checked then the behavior is the same as in previous versions, where the entire field is used.

* Gauge Tool: Gauges can now rotate in a counter-clockwise direction as well as the standard clockwise direction. This option is set in the Dial Configuration section drop down using the Direction drop down.

* Widgets: The iRating SOF widget no longer includes the text 'SOF'.  This brings it inline with the other widgets, all of which only show values.

* Graph Tool: Zones are now available for use with this tool.  By default all graphs have one zone.  You can add up to 4 zones to a graph.  Zones allow you to have the graph fill up in an uneven manner.  For example if the graph displayed RPM from 1,000 to 8,000, you could have two zones, with the first showing RPM under 4,000 in the first 25% of the graph, then the second zone could show RPM above 4,000 using the remaining 75% of the graph.

Version 2023.1 of the Z1 Analyzer is now available.  There are many new features and improvements in this version.  Some of the highlights include:

The ability to create your own car models for use in the Driving Instructor. The car model is what is used to display the image of the car as it moves around the track. Note this is purely a visual image. It has no impact on the advice given by the Driving Instructor.


For the Track Walk - better playback options; improved navigation from turn to turn.


Custom trace legends: these let you easily see what each line in the custom trace represents.


More mouse control customization: You can now set what the right mouse buttons does when interacting with the traces.


Improved corner entry and exit advice in the Track Walk:


The Driving Instructor advice now stays displayed allowing you to easily move around and view the advice from different zoom levels or locations.

Existing users can get the update here:
https://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/MyDashboard.cfm

Here is the full list of release notes:
* The car model used in the Driving Instructor can now be edited. The car model is what is used to display the image of the car as it moves around the track. Note this is purely a visual image. It has no impact on the advice given by the Driving Instructor. There are several models that come with the Analyzer, and you can chose from them in the 'Car Model' drop down on the left side of the Driving Instructor under the 'Driving Advice' section.

* To edit or create a new car model select the Analysis->Edit Car Models menu option.  This will display the currently available car models. Double click on a name to edit the model.  Or right click and then choose an option from the popup menu.  To create a new car model you will need a top down image of the car, along with various dimensions, such as the length and width, front and rear track, axle locations, and tire/wheel sizes.

* The car models are stored in individual folders within the documents/z1analyzer/carmodels folder. You can share a car model with others by giving them a copy of the appropriate folder, which they would then place in the documents/z1analyzer/carmodels folder on their computer.

* Various improvements to the Driving Instructor to improve performance.

* Added support for Codemasters F1 22.

* There is now an 'Always On Top' option for the Analyzer.  This is located in the Display settings tab.  Selecting this option will keep the Analyzer window on top of all other windows when running, with the exception of full screen windows.

* There are now options in the Control settings tab to specify what the mouse wheel does when the cursor is over a trace. You can specify the basic mouse wheel option and the control-mouse wheel option. By default the mouse wheel will zoom the trace in/out, and the control-mouse wheel will pan a zoomed trace left or right.

* You can now assign right mouse button drag, control right mouse button drag, shift right mouse button drag, and control-shift right mouse button drag to perform the the following options: zoom a trace, scrub a trace, shift the main lap, and move sectors.  By default the right button options are not assigned to these functions.  Use the Control settings tab to make the desired assignments.

* Driving Instructor: the turn advice will now remain displayed until you either click the Play icon to continue round the lap, click the Stop icon to halt playback, or select another turn.  This allows you to move the map around and still see the turn's advice.

* Altitude, ABS Active and Traction Control Active have been added as a data channels.  These can be shown in a standard trace or data tile, or used in a custom trace, math channel, scatter plot, or histogram.

* There is now an info icon that appears in the title bars of any custom traces. Clicking this icon toggles a legend for the custom trace. This legend will show what each line in the trace represents, along with the math formulas if appropriate.

* Track Walk: The Play/Stop button has been replaced by 5 buttons - play, pause, stop, step forward, step backward. This allows for greater control over the playback of a corner.

* Track Walk: A graphical representation of the suggested steering angle is now displayed inside the gear circle when running through a corner. The wheel is always displayed with straight ahead being up, regardless of the orientation of the car. You can turn this feature off under the Display settings tab.

* Track Walk: Improved the advice given on how to enter and exit the turn.

* Track Walk: When a corner is selected the information box now includes right and left arrow buttons in the header.  These let you easily move to the next or previous turn.

* When opening laps, any of your laps that are considered to be partial laps will be marked as such in the list of available laps.  A partial lap is one that doesn't finish at least 95% of the lap.  You can choose to hide these laps by right clicking on the laps and unselecting the 'Show Partial Laps' option in the drop down menu.

* Maximum readable IBT file size has been increased from 1Gb to 4GB.

Version 2023.1 of the Z1 Dashboard is now available!

This version introduces our new on-board driving instructor. This instructor will talk to you as you drive round the track providing feedback on the track and on how you are taking turns and how you can improve. It is like having a real instructor sitting next to you in the car. You can even create your own voice packs to use with the instructor.

In addition to this version supports the Vocore 6.8" screens and all the new features in the Z1 Designer.

The new on-board Driving Instructor provides real-time spoken feedback on how to improve as you drive the track.


The new Driving Instructor allow for customization including three different levels of advice.


Compatibility with the latest Z1 Designer features.


Support for the Vocore 6.8" Screen


New users can get the demo here:
https://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/demo.cfm

Existing users can get the update here:
https://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/MyDashboard.cfm

Here is the full list of release notes:
* The Driving Instructor is now available to ride along with you in the car. The instructor will speak to you as you go around the track like a real-world instructor would do, providing advice on the turns and how to improve your time through them. This feature requires a current track or pro license. Currently it is only compatible with iRacing and Assetto Corsa Competizione.

* There is a new settings tab, Driving Instructor, which allows you to set the various option for the instructor.

* You can choose the instructor who will ride along with you. Currently there is only one instructor available. We will be adding more in the future.

* Users can create their own instructor packs. An instructor pack consists of a folder placed in the documents/z1dashboard/voices folder. Look at the folder documents/z1dashboard/voices/greg as an example. This folder contains an xml file called 'voice'. When creating your own instructor you would edit this file to reflect your instructor. When doing so it is important to set the 'id' file to be blank. Then you would need to provide recordings in mp3 format for each of the files located in the folder. Again see the documents/z1dashboard/voices/greg folder for the required mp3 files.

* Customized instructor voice packs can be distributed to other if you like. All that is required for install an instructor pack is to place the folder containing the voice.xml file and the mp3 files into the documents/z1dashboard/voices folder.

* By default the instructor only provides feedback during a practice session. To have it provide feedback during all sessions, uncheck the 'Only Provide Feedback During Practice' option.

* There are 3 levels of advice that can be given by the instructor - beginner, intermediate and advanced. By default the instructor is set to beginner. You should set this level based on your experience as a driver as it effects the advice given by the instructor.

* The instructor provides advice at each level (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) for a specified number of laps before advancing its advice to the next level. By default this is 3 laps. You can change this in the settings dialog.

* You can select the speakers used for the instructor voice in the settings dialog, Driving Instructor tab.

* Added Water Pressure warning level to the Car tab in the Settings dialog. This is a car specific warning level. When the water pressure is under this level the water pressure warning will be triggered. Dashboards that implement the Water Pressure warning will then display the appropriate warning.

* Added support for the new Z1 Designer features.

* Support for Vocore 6.8" screens

Use the code GOFASTER22 when purchasing.


In addition to implementing various new features from the Z1 Designer, the Dashboard also gets updates for Arduino support, Vocore/USBD480 support, more data channels, improved button assignments, and easier external LED implementations.

Improved Vocore/USBD480 Support


Shift Light Active Preview


New Button Options


Customizable Arduino Baud Rate


Existing users can get the update here:
https://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/MyDashboard.cfm

New users can download the demo here:
https://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/trybuy.cfm

Full List of release notes:
* There is now a default baud rate option in the Arduino settings tab. This specifies the default baud rate to use with your Arduino device. If the Arduino.xml does not contain a baud rate for the device then whatever is selected in the drop down will be used.

* There is now a button option to reset the average fuel per lap.

* When using USBD480 or Vocore screens, the FPS rate is now limited to 30 FPS by default. This is to help with bandwidth issues. You can manually change this by turning off Auto Settings and then changing the FPS rate in the General settings tab. Note a higher FPS rate on these screens isn't really necessary and can cause the screen to hang if you don't have enough USB bandwidth.

* Support for Vocore 6.8" screens.

* In the Shift Lights settings tab, changing the color of the Shift LEDs will cause external LEDs to illuminate immediately if you have Active Preview enabled. This allows you to see your color choices in action.

* In the Shift Lights settings tab there is a slider under the shift light RPM display. If you are using an external device and have Active Preview enabled you can use this slider to preview what the LED settings will look like on your device at a specific RPM value.

* There is now an option to set the font size in the General Statistics garage screen. This option is located in the General settings tab under the Garage display section. Leaving this option set to its default value of Auto will let the Dashboard determine the font size to use.

* There is a new option in the Buttons settings dialog called 'Check By State Change'. This is on by default. When this option is on button assignments will be done when the state of the button changes from Off to On. When the option is turned off, assignments will happen when a button is detected in the On state. The purpose of this feature is to be able to assign buttons that are toggle switches or other buttons that may not be simple On/Off buttons.

* AMS2 - added support for ride heights, inner/middle/outer tire temps, DRS, ERS deployment mode, headlight flash active.

* iRacing - added support for the Power Steering adjustment, traction control active, headlight flash active.

* ACC - added support for traction control active, headlight flash active.

Version 2022.4 of the Z1 Designer is now available! This is the application that lets you create or edit dashboards for use in the Z1 Dashboard. Highlights of this update include:

Undo/Redo functionality:


Optionally specify the sim you are designing for to see the available data channels:


Ability to set data channel values or 'play' them between a minimum and maximum value:


Don't forget the current year end sale for the Z1 Software. Enter the code GOFASTER22 at checkout.

The Z1 Designer can be downloaded here:
https://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/demo.cfm

Full list of release notes:
* You can now adjust the values of the data channels in the Designer. This lets you see how changing the values effects the display of you design. To do so select Windows->Data Channel Values. This displays a new window showing all the current values for each data channel. You can use the slider to adjust the current value of the data channel. Each data channel has a minimum and maximum value. These can be adjusted using the the two text fields.

* Data channel values can now be 'played' in the Designer. There are several buttons in the Data Channel Values window that allow this to happen. The 'Play' button will start the process. When playing, the values of each data channel will move between their minimum and maximum values. To stop playing, click the 'Stop' button. You can choose which data channels get played by ticking the checkbox next to their name. By default all channels are included. There are two buttons that allow you to select all or none of the data channels.

* There is now a Sim drop down in the Dashboard Properties window (Windows->Dashboard Properties). Selecting a sim from this drop down will tell the Designer which sim you are designing your dashboard for. Based on the selected sim, any data channel drop downs will grey out channels that are not supported by that sim. For example, if you selected iRacing as your sim then when you are looking at data channels to assign to an object certain channels, such as Boost Pressure, will be greyed out. Note that this is only a guide. Just because a channel is greyed out does not mean you can't select it and use it in your design. It just means that there is no data associated with it in the selected sim.

* There is a Data Channel Playing Hertz option in the settings dialog. This lets you choose the speed at which the data channel values change when being played. Higher numbers equate to faster change.

* The data channel minimum and maximum values, and their current playback status, will be saved when you exit the Designer.

* There is a Reset button at the bottom of the Data Channel Values window which will reset the data channels to their default minimum, maximum and current values, as well as including them all in playback.

* Undo/Redo. The Designer now supports undo and redo. You can use the menus options under the Edit menu, or the standard Windows Ctrl-Z for undo and Shift-Ctrl-Z for redo. Undo/redo is supported for up to 20 changes. After that older changes will be discarded.

* Competitors Tool: Added Car Number options.

* Widgets: Added Class Position, Class Position/Total Cars and Distance To Pit options.

* Warnings: Added In Pit Lane option, Traction Control Engaged, Headlight Flash.

* Data Channels: ERS Deployment Mode

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.

Big Bend at Lime Rock


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.
Enter the code GOFASTER22 for 50% off.

New users can download the demo here:
https://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/trybuy.cfm

Existing users can get the update here:
https://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/MyDashboard.cfm

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.
