I’m studying the car.ini and have many doubts.
1. The setting [body.height] in some models is the height of the body but in others is this plus the ground clearance. I know this settings are only for collision but ¿which is good?
2. I think there is nothing about the body stiffness, then when the body roll, the weight to the wheels change in relation with stiffness of their suspension. As much stiffness more weight receive. ¿Is ok?
3. I had one doubt about [car.front_area], but I see it dissapear in the lastest default car.ini. I don’t know the difference with [aero.body.area].
4. ¿What means [engine.size]? ¿Is a volume? ¿Is the displacement? ¿Is used?.
5. Looking the pacejka magic formula, for the transversal force I need the slip angle and it depends on tyre ¿wich is the variable of tyres/wheels that control slip angle?.
6. The settings that control the geometrical effects in suspension ¿are always linear? and ¿wich is the point 0 were the effects begin? ¿restlen? ¿the lenght when the wheel is with weight? ¿?
7. I see changes in camber, toe... but ¿the tracks change? ¿Racer changes them without a specific setting?.
Last, I see there are many modelers in the forum (like Mr Whippy, boomer541, AMGFan, AlexForbin, Some1..) and I have doubts about models:
1. I keep in mind that braking is between 1’0G (tourism) and 4’0G (racing) but I see models that breaks with 13’8G (Go-kart), over 2’0G (Lancia Thema, MB w25 Avus, R-18 GTD, Renault Master T35D, Smart Brabus, Toyota LandCruiser...). ¿May be?
2. Also, I keep in mind resonance frequency between 1’0Hz (tourism) and 4’0Hz (racing) but many, many models are below 1’0Hz (even racig cars like Aston Martin DB9, Ferrari Dino, Porsche Cayman S (Mr Whippy) ......), ¿also may be? ¿how do yo know the stiffness of the suspension? ¿where do you get the information?
3. And the same with aerodinamics, but I haven’t any solid reference, I only know that tourism use to have a negative Cd (go up with speed), but there are models with Cd=1’69 (AC Cobra), 3’55 (Go kart), ¿is ok?
Thank you very much for read me.
