MotorSim 2: Your Land Vehicle Performance Simulator
MotorSim 2 is a powerful performance calculator for land vehicles. Unlike driving games, it focuses on precise physical simulations of straight-line acceleration. You define the technical specifications, and MotorSim 2 calculates the resulting performance.
The interactive simulator features a speedometer, tachometer, throttle, brake, and gear shifting (manual or automatic). It includes a procedurally generated engine sound and displays vehicle position on a 1/4 mile track. Saved "ghost" runs allow for easy performance comparisons between different vehicle configurations.
Configurable Parameters:
- Maximum Power
- Power Curve (point-by-point definition)
- Torque Curve (derived from power curve)
- Maximum Engine RPM
- Gear Configuration (up to 10 gears)
- Drag Resistance (Cd, frontal area, rolling resistance)
- Vehicle Weight
- Tire Size
- Shift Time
- Transmission Efficiency
Calculated Performance Parameters:
- Maximum Speed
- Acceleration (0-60 mph, 0-100 km/h, 0-200 km/h, etc.)
- Many other performance metrics measurable via the interactive simulator.
