Hi,

Put this file in your Documents/Automation/Engines folder.
Open it in Automation.
Look at the settings and change the cam from 34 to 35 and see what happens.

Can someone explain? :?

output drops because the engine is knocking? your using premium unleaded so 95.0 ron is your limit....try ultimate unleaded instead.

The huge sudden change in RON. I don't understand. Even if you keep raising the cam.
Also if you slightly change the size of the turbo, the same happens. I can't figure out why this happens

There's definitely something screwy going on behind the scenes, Jagermeister. It seems to be caused by the small air to air intercooler; with a medium or tiny sized IC, there's no large step change in the octane requirement.

I tried it out, and yes, that must be a bug... which you can see much better when you back off on compression a bit so that things are not starting to knock. There is this huge step in RON there for some reason - we'll investigate. Cheers!

It's fixed now, will be gone in the next patch.
