Efendi F20 Contest with prize

[Junny]

The game does calculate dynamic weight distribution. Check out the weight transfer graph.

From what I could tell this is only for that lateral forces yest... I tried min maxing all suspension settings dampen and spring but could not see a change in 0-100 in which it would be obvious. As an example ;I would expect to see a .2-3 seconds change or more from hardest to softest rear settings from the highest ride height but didn't notice anything.
I am sure you are more informed than I am so I will experiment some more when I get home and report back/correct my findings.

The dynamic weight distribution does not depend on the spring stiffness, only the pitch of the body would be different. Stiffer springs are compressed less (thus the body pitches less), but the forces are the same. Ride height however should have an influence (and does in the game): High ride height means that more weight moves to the back while accelerating and more to the front while decelerating.

I understand what you are saying now. I guess the issue would be that the game does not have dynamic weight transfer included into the calculations therefore AWD has that prominent advantage. Perhaps a minimum weight of +100kg or so for AWD cars?

Phew!! . Its hard for me trying to explain this 'technical' things with my 'crude english'.

I'm waiting like 'mad' for the new update and test these things slowly (without the cornering bug, etc).

Der Bayer, just a question.
I see that the wheel diameter affects the economy value.. but not the speed. I mean a shorter diameter will give a bit more acceleration and less speed (just a bit), and the contrary with a longer diameter.
Are also these parameter calculated? (out of curiosity). TY

And sorry Octan2013, off-topic again

[Der Bayer]

Hm, basically the wheel diameter itself does not affect acceleration, top speed and economy, because the diff ratio is automatically adjusted so that the overall "gear ratio" from engine to the tarmac stays the same (to match the top speed you set with the top speed slider).

The minor differences you are experiencing come from other effects when you reduce the wheel size: The tyre profile height becomes smaller if you decrease wheel diameter but keep rim size. That means that the tyres become stiffer, and the acceleration may be noticably better. Economy and top speed probably are slightly better because weight and thus the rolling resistance force are reduced.

If you have any more questions, please open a thread in general chat or developer questions, we don't want to spam around in this thread.

And so, what about the competition?

[Jakgoe]

Here is Smolensk's version of the Efendi F20, the F20 Smolensk. With a 3.4L NA I4, the car produces 450hp, and can catapult from 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. In the corners, the F20 Smolensk gets 1.22g, making it capable of beating those pesky Ariel Atoms on track day. The styling of the car has been changed as well. The front fascia is much more aggressive, and different headlights are installed. The F20 Smolensk also gets a small wing on the back, to help maintain downforce.

The winner is NyanCatx with the ARX
and the F20S
And Jakgoe
They are my favorite F20

[Jakgoe]

What exactly is the prize that NyanCatx and I will receive?

[Killrob]

What exactly is the prize that NyanCatx and I will receive?

A life-sized, fully functional 3D-printed version of the winning car ;-D

[Jakgoe]

When the next update comes out, will the prize be a life-sized, fully functional 3D-printed DIESEL version of the winning car?
