Engine performance is now dependent on air density/temperature

The tone makes music, sure.
But also the background! The ones of us who bought into AC ea know that AC has come a long way. Seen it evolve, and might see what it might be up to.
Don't tell us pls to search for the ultimate truth. We are here for a reason, mind that.

 

There was some difference in oil temp with ambient temp, but load is much more of a factor. The ECU start to pull timing at 110C, and that is easily reached on track. The oil in the gt86 easily reach 130C on track or when driving hard.
Water temps are rock solid no matter what you do to the car.

Cleaned? Sorry, but to me it looks like from post 45 downwards the whole page 3 is OT.

To the topic:
Like Serialthriller asked already, does this include hight, too? Or will hight be implemented in the future?
That's something i think about sometimes when i am driving at Pikes Peak. Would be absolutely awesome to feel the power decreasing and maybe the lag getting bigger when i'm driving at such a high hillclimb.

 

Really good info, thanks.

Although, that is the ECU pulling power. I wonder what effect on power a high oil temp has on cars without ECUs? Certainly it has an effect; but how much? And is it worth coding? That's the ultimate question.

We can pretend right now that the GT86 in sim has been hacked so it doesn't pull power at 110C

 

AT monza with lambo:
10º 285kmh
23º 282kmh
36º 279kmh

 

But before, it was already affecting downforce and topspeed due to downforce, i tested few months ago

 

next step is to Tie Track and air temps to the hour of the day and also Dinamic
Kunos?

 

I had an oil cooler. Let's pretend Subaru didn't cut corners on the production model and added that for all cars...

this^^^^^^
we really need also the weather changing/transitions dinamically.

 

Doesn't this happen already?

 

i don't think so unless i missed it.
Only the time is progressing but the air temps are not tied to it, we have the same air/track temps the whole day.
For realism if we have 15 at 8.am we should have more temps at 12 p.m. (as example)

 

Only track temp seems to be affected.

 

Are you sure about that?

 

PhilS13 is all knowing.

 

Very nice to know. Thanks for sharing the data. Could someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but are turbo charged cars affected differently by air density than normally aspirated cars? Engine output, I mean.

OT: Why didn't anyone tell that upset gentleman about the adjustable simulation value now in v1.6? He probably left his at 0.

 

is that offline or online?
Also is the same session? or you just loaded a new session? Cause there could be a randome setting when loading a session at least for multiplayer there is a variance setting wich would explain it. but still static

 

yes

 

i have no idea if they are affected diferently, i wish it does
but easy to find out, go and do the same test?

 

Offline, different sessions. There isn't variation, I loaded several times the same session and the temperatures stay the same.
Yes it seems static, I tried with 360x time multiplier and it doesn't change during the day.
