    Hi guys,

    I wanted another project and thus I tried to make an F1 mod with the 2014 specs.
    By that I mean the engine.

    Now there's a lot to do with that file, but I have no idea what- or how to change.
    Is there some kind of editor?
    the reason I ask, is that guys made a file and wrote on the top how much torque and HP this engine has. Maybe they just put it there, but I thought maybe it was calculated. And if so; I can't seem to make that up from the numbers standing there.

    The file is like this:


    ReferenceConditions=(101325,1.225,0.068)
    RPMBase=( 0, -24.0, -24.0, 0, 1.091)
    VolumeFract=(0, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000)
    MixtureFract=(1)
    RPMBase=( 250, -23.3, -23.3, 0, 1.057)
    VolumeFract=(0, 0.997, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000)
    MixtureFract=(1)
    RPMBase=( 500, -23.4, -20.5, 0, 1.069)
    VolumeFract=(0, 0.916, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000)
    MixtureFract=(1)[/I]

    I understand the rpm base is the rpm, then 3 couple of numbers to adjust. But what do they do?

    Or, as I said; is there some editor?

    Have you looked at how power is calculated? That might clear up some of your confusion.

    Well, I'm pretty good with numbers, but I can't make something up from this :(

    I just tried a bit, got me some good results, but it still is trial and error. Got the power now and the 8 gears, but made about 30 semi-mods for that ;)

    You can extract the skip barber files and have a look at the engine in there, that has comments on everything and also the lines for doing turbos are in there too.
