2013-10-10 Thread Ken Downey
I'm looking for the formula for the coding of shifting of gears. That is, when you're in fourth gear you don't accelerate unless already going fast and so on. Any thoughts? Check out my games at www.ThePionEar.net and my music, and that of my band, at www.ThePionEar.net/BlindLabyrinth.html .

Ken, The acceleration thing you're talking about is more a side effect of the nonlinear power curve of engines, where they produce much higher power at certain RPMs than you would expect from a linear graph. It's got nothing to do with the gears; the gears are just a fixed ratio that convert the

Hi Ken, Actually, the gear ratio doesn't have anything to do with the amount of acceleration of the car. That has to do with the power curve of the engine, how much horsepower is available, and how much torque is available at the moment. Once you know those things you can easily divide the
