the "unknown torque curve" is the engine brake. we have discovered even more values, will update it soon

Congrats Carl, very interesting and powerful tool my friend. Thanks a lot

Hi all so exciting !
I do not use CSM (except 1 time installing the mod).
Is there any tool to update the exe except hexeditor and CSM ?

Thanks
J

the easiest way would be to create an empty csm mod , copy the code to patch.ini, then load the mod, return to windows once the game is loaded and copy the exe (or simply disable the auto-restore function).
if we find time we might create a new physics editor.

in the meanwhile paulo has found many other physics values (there are houndreds only for the tyre model - gp4 physics are by far more complex than i have ever expected). all i can say is that the old physics editor barely scratches the surface when it comes to physics.

If i try to change HP values, the formula have error
Is it excel problem, or we do not suppose to change anything ?
It just for use it for 2021 mods for now ?

The data in the sheet is just an example, you can use it for any type of car / engine you wish.

Since everything is linked to each other (also is the torque), you need to go topdown (torque will be calculated from max rpm and max hp). to edit the torque curve, you need to edit the fields in % with a grey background.
In general, fill the grey fields only.

Still after any touch of bhp (Max engine HP) the excel formula breaks and throws an error (#NAME?)
#NAME? error occurs on perfomance txt tab as well
At least it happens to me.

@C490 what is your Excel version? Some formulas use functions only available from Excel 2019 I'm afraid.

oh yes, that might be the cause. i use the latest O365 version.

seems a stand alone editor would be the better option.

Hi !

I have excel from Office 16.
Thanks for checking, maybe you can make it compatible for older versions
If not...then time to upgrade for me

Cheers

MS Office 365? Humm..

I compiled a physics (generic dimensions), a performance (generic) and a power torque curve (with emphasis on the original. and, on what could be a turbo engine under those circumstances). Already testing on a standard GP4.

just added a new version of the sheet on page 1. there are some more, yet unknown, physics values included

made a few changes and added the explantion of some more values.

now that wad updater can patch the gp4.exe, my physics calculator should also be easy to use for non-csm users.

another update already!
prblanco added around 132 new values reagrding tyres (!) that can be edited now.
also the compatibility with older versions of excel should be better now.
