Wheel Spin and Brake Fade Balance Issues

Thanks for pointing that out gt1cooper, I'll check if there is a bug in the calculations or in the displaying of results.

The same thing seems to be happening with the two cars I mentioned earlier. There is no wheelspin outside of 1st gear according to the graph yet they get a penality.

Alright, I looked into the matter and found that there were two issues. The calculations were looking at what time is spent in the first ten seconds of acceleration spent potentially spinning the wheels independent of what gear you are in.

I have now changed the calculations to be more solid. Now the time spent in each gear during the acceleration run is tracked, as well as the time in each gear that you could potentially spin the wheels.
I then loop over the gears, but for the first gear I only take half the wheelSpinFraction value (but not zero, so that you can't really cheat by super long first gears).

wheelSpinFraction = wheelSpinFraction + timeSpinningGear[i] / timeGear[i]

after all gears are summed: wheelSpinFraction = wheelSpinFraction/numberOfGearsUsed

The drivability multiplier then is calculated as factorWheelSpin = (1 - wheelSpinFraction) ^ 0.25


The second issue is that the graph showing the calculations seems to be bugged and doesn't show the actual amount of potential wheelspin. I will have to investigate that one with Cas.
