[FIXED]Car performance ?!?

[Sarchez]

I know I make crappy designs, we already established that.
But atleast the AI is making worse ones still!

I bought American Car Company.
Their only car has acceleration -1 ?

The -1's means the vehicle can't get to that speed to test, I need to replace the text to something like N/A. Thanks for reminding me

Couldt it be possible that this is a bug? My own designs do have the same problem. For example I designed a compact sedan with about 10hp in the year 1900. With 1.10, the design was worth about 50 km/h, which I think is correcht. With 1.11, the almost identical design ist only worth 17 km/h, which ist far to low. Even a Roadster with 22hp engine only achieves 22 km/h (and 1-star rating) in 1.11.

I recognized also a bug in the showroom. Vehicle dimenson are much shorter in the showroom infos than in reality.

Hi Celeste,

See this topic http://www.ventdev.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=1095

It's something else that's causing that problem.

Is the game using HP or bHP? Anyway, the Ford Model T introduced in 1908 had a 20 bHP @ 1800 rpm and a top speed of just 42 mph (67 km/h). The Model A introduced in 1927 had a 40 bHP @ 2200 rpm and a top speed of 65mph (104 km/h).

Saw your thread too late

By the way, the Hanomag 2/10 PS (Komissbrot) managed 50 km/h with 10 PS.

All vehicle stats have been adjusted, making this thread moot.

The game measures in HP since I factor in the gearbox.

Acceleration is -1 in some places still, I will get to this eventually, it's on my list.
