Car Data

In terms of distance, 1.0 in the .car files is equal to 1 meter. Were using "MKS" units, which stands for meters, kilograms, seconds. All other units are derived from that. Ratios are expressed as a percentage divided by 100, for instance brake bias is defined as a number between 0.0 and 1.0 for both front and rear (this seems redundant to me, because obviously rear will always be 1.0 - front, but anyway...)

For example in the XS (S2000) .car file:

Code:

[ brakes-front ]
friction = 0.73
max-pressure = 2.0e6
bias = 0.57
radius = 0.14
area = 0.015

[ brakes-rear ]
friction = 0.73
max-pressure = 2.0e6
bias = 0.43
radius = 0.14
area = 0.015

So you can see the XS's brakes are 57% in the front and 43% in the rear. This is the best feeling value I could come up with, but I didn't spend a lot of time on it. Not quite sure about the other cars...but that should give you an idea.
