Easy Engine Create v0.7b82.14 Engine tool for rFactor 2 System requirements: Windows, .NET4.0 Install: Download the file, and unzip it in the C drive (It's very important, that you use the "C" drive!). After the unpacking, you can find the following: C:\EEDataBase. Open the EEDataBase folder, and run the setup.exe. After the install you can run the software, just double click on the "piston" icon. It's only a beta, some function currently doesn't work (project save, *.ini opening, etc), but the creating of the "engine.ini" is possible. Before you start a new project, please read the Help menu (F1). https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B85c67-VwWJ-Tlk1a0ZwU0dtNG8/view?usp=sharing I'm waiting for any question, idea and feedback.

Small suggestion. Maybe you should change the text saying "Number of valves" to "Number of Valvec pr. Cylinder". But I think the must crucial update would be to implement a way to save and load a data file. Doesn't have to be the output .ini file, just a simple ascii file with all the input values and then a way to read them again. But definitely a great tool. What language is the program written in? Cheers,
I have written this in Visual Basic. I'm a beginner, therefore a lot of things are problem for me, but i'm working on it. The main goal for me, that i'll create a usable tool for the turbo engines. Thanks for your suggestion.
No worries, we have all begun at some point with programming. I would like to know, however, what you kind of formula or prescription you use to guesstimate the initial torque curve. I have tried putting in the relevant numbers for the C6.R engine and I find it a bit strange that I get almost max torque at 500 RPM. Would it be possible to take a peak at your code? Cheers
Tried running setup. I am getting an error regarding Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0? I am wondering what that is all about?
The naturally aspirated engines are very different. As i wrote in the help file, there is a lot of torque curve, not possible to create a general formula. This is only an estimated curve. The base a possible cylinder - charging efficiency. If you want a real torque curve, you need the torque curve of the real car, for example the C6.R's torque curve. This stuff helps in case of turbo engines, because you see the expected torque curve. You can choose the appropriate turbo, and the associated calculations done by the program. Which part of the code interested? The compute method of the torque curve?
I don't know exactly what is the problem, just i searched your keywords with Google. I think this may be the solution, because this program also use MS Access database: http://www.connectionstrings.com/the-microsoft-ace-oledb-12-0-provider-is-not-registered-on-the-local-machine/
You can just google "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" and find answers. Bottom line is it's code for querying Microsoft Access Database, and it comes in 32bit and 64bit flavors. Problem is if your running Microsoft Outlook, its in 32 bit and apparently won't run right if you have 32bit installed. first thing I guess is " is this program using 32 bit or 64 bit?". *edit - incidentally it appears that you can't install 32 and 64 at the same time.
