Physics The "wing" app

[Wayne Kerr]

Newbie question.

How is the frontal area as well as the two coefficients that are displayed in the wing app calculated? Is it entered physically into the car's data file and then the app just displays it I assume? Seems to be the most efficient way of doing it I'd think.

exactly, all data it displays is from the aero.ini and linked lut files

this is not XPlane
