Continued work on the vehicle specs.
Weight and cargo space have received some tweaks.
The fuel mileage code has drastically been rewritten. It now features a more realistic rolling resistance formula and aerodynamic drag formula. Using this information we are able to calculate the fuel consumption utilizing our brake specific fuel mileage and engine work load needed to accelerate and maintain speed. The results are much more accurate. For example putting too small of an engine in a vehicle will actually result in worse gas mileage.
Top speed has gotten a minor adjustment.
Acceleration has also received a major rewrite. Bringing it more inline with realistic numbers.
I've got 2 or 3 more specs to "fix" then I hop into ratings. With any luck, I'll have it all finished and tested by Tuesday. Then I can move into the new GUI features.
