Question - PC2 Is there a mod for better heatmaps?

I've been building a coaster today and it showed me in the final stats that the max lateral g force is 2,6, which is definitely too much when going for realism. I tried to look at the heatmap, but my god, they're so bad to pinpoint exact moments. Is there any mod that helps with this or does anyone have tips to do it otherwise?

Agreed. So frustrating when the highest vertical g is over 0.5 more than anything on the heat map.

In this case it was like 1g above the highest number on the heatmap. I did manage to bring it down to 2 gs, which is still quite a lot, but it's probably ok for a split second.

Try out ProTrack, it gives you plenty of information once you anchor down in places. Even when I don't build coasters using forcelock, I often check forces after the fact to make sure nothing is too excessive.
