OK So I am trying to det up a car from scratch. When I go ro telemetry and view the 4 “thermometer” bars for ride height I see them as plus means higher ride height. I am seeing noe a car “topping” nor “bottoming” as I would expect. Are these bars upside down? Are they shoeing the wheel height in respect to the cat? IE is a positive number, toward suspension bopttoming out and negative when the whell is alost in the air?

Double Post.
The number shows the ratio of the spring travel compared to its maximum travel.
+0.5 means spring is compressed to 50% of its maximum compression value (I have no way of determining this value in FM5).
-0.3 means spring is extended to 30% of its maximum extension value.
The compression frequently shows +0.98. I interpret this as hitting the bump rubber or pretty much bottoming out.
If the compression is more severe, it will show 1.00 and the bar will turn red > this condition should be avoided.
Therefore, not hitting 0.98 means you have provided adequate suspension support. If it does not exceed 0.50, then the suspension may be TOO stiff.
