Gaikokujin's Guide to Lanecalc

This is an English usage manual for 危険回避シミュ, or Lanecalc.

Lanecalc is a precise calculator for the effect of lane combo, the use of Skill data is loading... along with some combination of Skill data is loading..., Skill data is loading..., and Skill data is loading... for a substantial speed boost in early race. Lanecalc helps with deciding whether lane combo (and DD alone) is applicable to a given track.

The translations presented in this manual are contextualized to an English speaker using Lanecalc, rather than being direct translations. E.g., スキル literally means "skill," but I am translating it as "lane skill activation time" where that is what スキル signifies.

Course Setup

The top section of lane calc is the course setup section. Set the race location, course at the location, and ground condition here.

Power should be entered as the raw power stat, i.e. the number shown on your Uma's stat screen. (There doesn't appear to be a way to apply power passives.)

Unshakable Stance is the gold version of Skill data is loading... and is not yet available in Global. "Evolved Taking the Lead" means any of the evolutions of Skill data is loading... that turn it into a 0.5 accel skill. (Aston Machan will have a TTL evolution that instead turns it into a 4s 0.4 accel. There doesn't appear to be a way to apply it in the calculator.)

Selecting another skill in the same group as a selected one will remove the existing skill. Selecting an already selected skill will disable it entirely in the simulator.

Results Chart

Once the course and Uma are configured, click the green 計算 button. After a moment, the results appear.

Lanecalc results chart

The chart shows the Uma's simulated lane (horizontal distance from the rail) and forward velocity under the effects of various lane combo skills.

The example above is Hanshin 2200, firm, with a front runner with 1200 power in great condition from gate 6. She has Skill data is loading... and Skill data is loading..., and the lane change speed skills are set to activate at 7 seconds.

You can click the labels underneath the chart to hide the corresponding line. The top row is for lane position lines, and the bottom row is for velocity lines.

You can also hover the mouse over the lines for details. The first portion of the details are the skills that produce the exact corresponding point, with a color square for each. Underneath is the simulation state.
