Currently testing and playing arround with Lazza's new version of the DAMPlugin. Looking at the different channels I found a channel named "Surface Type ##". So far I did not use that channel at all but it seems that the channel changes depending on the surface you are driving on. On a quick lap at "Le Mans" the plugin did log 4 different states (0, 2, 4, 5) w/o leaving the track. Looking into the TDF file there are approx. 20 different materials documented. My hypothesis is that the numbers just represent the index of the material (staring with 0) as they are listed in the tdf file. Which would mean that the signals have the following meaning: 0 ... Roads. Standard material for Road 2 ... Turteltiles 4 ... Old Asphalt 5 ... Bumpy Road Would be interested whether somebody in the community could confirm this. Or does the parameter have a totally different meaning? Can this signal be used to identify where a driver went of the track?

Not sure The plugin code says this: // 0=dry, 1=wet, 2=grass, 3=dirt, 4=gravel, 5=rumblestrip, 6=special But that could be a verrrrrry old comment from long ago far away rF1 early version times. If nothing else, off the top of my head I'm not sure how the game would know which is which with a third party track. So your material index (as per the tdf) theory seems plausible. If you try to find some of the lower referenced materials it would help (if the surface type = 10+, for example).
