    RH varies that fast, specially in bump tracks like Sebring.
    Your request will need either a telemetry app or a personalized ovarlay at Simhub.

    Yes but surely the purpose of the HUD is to provide useable information and when it flicks between numbers so fast that it is unreadable then I am not sure it is helpful? (I am certainly not advocating a change in how fast the ride height changes or how fast it outputs to external telemetry, just a change in the HUD graphic! Also to be clear I find this problem only on certain cars - I will share an exact car next time I see it :) )

    The telemetry overlay for the suspension / ride height related part is really hard to read during driving, like you said, it changes so quickly and doesn't "highlight" things in such way that it would be useful (and if you use something like ultrawide monitor, the info is way too spread out)

    This reminds me that I would LOVE to have support for AMS2 in Tinypedal (https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal), which unfortunately is currently only for rF2 and LMU. It has tons of lightweight overlay widgets that provide you easy to read data while driving that I find helpful when praticing and doing setup work compared to just trying to analyze the effects of setup changes from feel and checking telemetry afterwards (I do those too of course).

    Thanks for your extensive response. This would be concerning though, as most GT3s would be lower than expected per homologation and would also remove any ability from formula cars to pass over any kerbs or bumps really, was it ever confirmed by anyone from the dev team ?

    AFAIK no official info.

    The RHs on the AMS2 setup screen are based off of a static reference point. What the RHs are on track are based off of a calculation that takes into effect spring and tire deflection and in some circumstances bodywork.

    At least now we know some RH don'ts.
    Why am I not surprised?
