@ThomasJohansen Just a short Update, to the Problem with the generated Turbo Engines, where the Torque/Power exaggeratedly raises when you double the Power.
I've tested it with the Spreadsheet 220, from that i use the Calculations in my Script and with that, when i double the Power, i have the Effect that the generated Engine, when it starts, instantly goes to max RpM.
But i don't know why.
Maybe there is a Limitation in the Calculations.
I will try to figure out, where this Limitation is/where this Effect starts to appear, that i maybe can raise the Percentage (currently set to max 30 %), about that the wanted Turbo Power can be raised.
 
I wanted to make some Tests with my Engine Generator, but i have a strange Effect....
.....Can any body please check this in his DevMode, if you have the same Effect?

EDIT Sorry, forget it, i just needed a fresh DevMode. :)

Just as an Information: the Engine Generator Tool is updated.
I fixed some minor Calculation Problems in the Engine Brake Section.
@ThomasJohansen The Turbo Functionality is still strange.
With the current Setting, where i only allow a Limit of + 30% Power, you get almost the double Power, when you raise it by 30%.
And i use the Method, that Michael Borda told me, back then.
But you can adapt it manually in the DevMode, where you see the Output Power.
Just activate or deactivate (with // in front of the Line) TurbineFlowEffects= Lines in the generated Engine.ini.
The higher the 1st Value is, the more Power you get.
You can also add own Lines, if necessary.

And a Side Note.
While working on my Script, i noticed some minor Differences in the OutPut Engine File from my Script and the, from the Spreadsheet generated Engine (Screenshot below. The left one is the Spreadsheet generated one).
And the Reason is a "wrong" Calculation in the Spreadsheet as it seems.
You can check it by yourself, in the newer Spreadsheets it is Cell Engine GS19 and in my old one it is Engine GS18.
The Calculation is 0.458786971243891*0.067
and the Result in the Spreadsheet is 0.0305857980829261
my Script and the Windows Calculator give 0.030738727073341 and 0.030738727073340697‬
It's no big Difference, but it's a bit strange and doesn't really increases the Trustability into Libre Office.

That's weird.
If i create a new spreadsheet in LibreOffice and do that calculation, the result is 0.0307387270733407.
 
@elgagon It is the Formatting of one of the Cells, from that the Calculation Values are coming.
I just thought that this could be a Reason and so i checked it.
When i use the unformatted Value 0.0666666666667, it gives the "wrong" Result.
But when i use the Value 0.067, i get the proper Result.
So "Problem solved". :)

Perfect :)
 
Almost.
Only the 2nd Decimal of 1 Value in the Engine Brake Lines is different. :)
But that should be OK how it is.

Not sure if this is possible to add. Do you think that there could be an Engine.ini to rF2 Physics Calculator export. I've made some changes to what I had in my Calculator sheet with the numbers with the rF2 Tools. But now that I have what I like, I need to go back and update the sheet. Not sure if that might be possible.

It depends on the kind of Data that you want to import.
I've made 2 Tools already, with that you can extract Suspension Data from a PM or a Chassis.ini File and import them easily into the Spreadsheet.
The same could be done with Nm Values for Example.
BUT it is impossible, to easily do that for the most of the Values, because the Cells, into that you would like to import the Data, are spreaded all over the Spreadsheet Tabs and so you would also overwrite Cells that contain Calculations for Example.
The only Way, i fear, is to add them manually into the Spreadsheet.
I've made that several Times and it's not so much Work.
 
I was thinking the torque values. It is like the 3rd numbers in line. I've been doing it one by one, but it is a pain. But you are probably right on that it would be more reliable doing it manually.

I can add a Script, with that you can extract the Torque Values from a rFactor 2 Engine File, to paste it into the Spreadsheet.
That is Data, that can be pasted into the Spreadsheet easily, because it is a coherent Column of Data in the Spreadsheet.
Shall i?
 
Just as an Information: i've added a new Tool, with that you can extract the Torque Values from a rFactor 2 Engine.ini, to paste them into a Michael Borda Physics or any other Spreadsheet.
It's called Get Torque Data from a rF1, rF2 or GTR2 Engine.ini and i will modify it later Today, that you can extract the Torque Values from rF1 Engine Files too.
@Chris Lesperance: The Tool is online. :)

As said above, i've added the Code, to extract the Torque Data from rF1 Engine.ini Files too.
It's online.

EDIT I forgot: because GTR2 Engine Files have the same Format as rF1 Engine Files, you can also upload these.

I tried it following Chis's directions and it loaded up the Data fine. What i will do with this Data i dont know lol
