    Can anyone guide me to find the new HDV parameters corresponding to the rear brake duct and oil cooler?

    I have only found these:

    Physics
    • Implemented enhanced cooling system for oil & water. This includes new parameters in the .hdv file. The new model includes:
      • Direct heat transfer between water and oil.
      • Oil radiator.
      • Switchover Thermostat.
    • Separated front and rear brake ducts.
    • Added configurable gear shift protection.

    Thanks in advance.

    The new engine cooling related bits are in the skipbarber engine ini:

    engineHeatTransferParams=(1.0,0.0) // Amount of heat that goes into oil and amount of heat that goes into water
    OilRadiatorCooling=(0.00047,0.00019) // Cooling rate of oil radiator (base, per setting)
    WaterRadiatorCooling=(0.00047,0.00019) // Cooling rate of water radiator (base, per setting)
    WaterThermostat=1 // Defines if thermostat is available
    thermostatClosedOpenTemps=(85.0,95.0) // Defines the lower and upper threshold in which the thermostat opens (value when fully closed, value when fully open)
    waterCoolingFanThresholdCelcius=100.0 // Defines the threshold where the water cooling fan starts to engage
    waterCoolingFanBaseAirVelocityMS=0.0 // Defines the amount of velocity added from the fan to the water radiator when engaged
    oilCoolingFanThresholdCelcius=115.0 // Defines the threshold where the oil cooling fan starts to engage
    oilCoolingFanBaseAirVelocityMS=0.0 // Defines the amount of velocity added from the fan to the oil radiator when engaged

    Wow, I've even looked under the keyboard and haven't thought of the most logical solution.

    Thanks a lot

    The information is, as Doddynco said, in the Skipbarber.

    The part that interests me the most, which is to differentiate the front and rear brake lines, does not allow to change the values.
    In Skipbarber they are fixed. When I update the rear brake lines in my mod, the possibility of changing even the range of the front brakes is cancelled. Without those lines it does allow to change the front range but not rear (fix to 1).

    I'll keep investigating, if you can think of something....

    You might be naming the parameters wrong. This works in devmode, and I assume in the game itself:

    Code:
    BrakeDuctRange=(0.0, 0.1, 11)    // brake duct range
    BrakeDuctSetting=0              // brake duct setting
    BrakeDuctDrag=(0.001)           // effect of brake duct setting on drag
    BrakeDuctLift=(0.001)           // effect of brake duct setting on lift
    BrakeDuctRearRange=(0.0, 0.1, 11)
    BrakeDuctRearSetting=0         
    BrakeDuctRearDrag=(0.001)       
    BrakeDuctRearLift=(0.001)

    You just destroyed me Lazza.

    I've tried every possible combination in my mind:
    RearBrakeDuctRange
    BrakeDuctRangeRear ...

    I think I'm losing skill, that's what happens when you get old ...
    Well, I won't go to bed until I try it.

    Thank you very much for your help to both of you.

    Yessssssss
    After next Thursday's race I will implement it for the next one.

    Thank you. Solved.

    Don't feel bad, you're basically shooting in the dark unless you know where and how to look. I made a motec plugin from knowing that... but not from being skilled or smart :p

    This has never been documented anywhere as far as I'm aware.

    It was a joke.

    I've been searching all my life and imagining how things are done.
    I'm habituated and, besides, I like to do research.
    Besides the lack of information, what there is is in English and I have no knowledge of this language. In the end you get almost everything.

    The anger is not having squeezed my mind a little more. I was one step away.

    Thanks to these parameters they are going to improve the battery system and will complicate the setup of the Formulas.
