I know I ask too many annoying questions, but I seriously need help. The parameters.txt sheet located here is too complicated to read, in my opinion, but I need to know how to slow down a car's acceleration. I am working on a car (a conversion), and the car takes off from the start too fast. I want to make the car on a scaled basis. Any ideas?

engine ratio in each wheel needs to be less. you need to change every wheels to the amount you want.

If you're suggesting that you want the car to have acceleration similar to what it would have in real life - then give up. Real cars use gear ratios, and Re-Volt doesn't. Best you can do is assign Engine Ratio values based on the car's horsepower or torque, and adjust those values according to the car's torque distribution.

To alter a cars acceleration you can change any of the following values :

Code: Select all

reducing AxleFriction can can cause the car to have more understeer
