Our ReVolt Pub

I was looking at this Re-Volt site: http://www.aliasrevoltmaster.com/dl_nwaua.htm, and I noticed that they've got the 0 to 45 kph and 0 to max speed numbers on there, and I'd really like to know how they do this. The reason is that I've downloaded a bunch of real-life car models and replaced the original cars with them, and now I'm trying to give them stats based as closely on the real-life cars as possible. But since I have no way to measure the acceleration speeds of the cars, I have no idea whether their acceleration rates are accurate.

LOL

I did a few of the cars on that site, and let me tell you, it ain't easy to accelerate and watch the clock to time the acceleration speeds.

Basically, you need a stop watch and a long straight track and quick reflexes.

Bah. I wish I could get access to some of the math behind the game so I could use formulas for this stuff.

I think they create a movie of the car accelerating ingame, then use a movie/media player to get the accelerating time.

You could ask Throwback Entertainment, if they didn't change the superb physics engine.

You have answered to the question Manmountain...

I simply used a stop watch, and made some tryes...
The 0-45 number it's only indicative!

Yeah, there is no math involved... All you do is take a stopwatch, and when you git start, press the forward acceleration button all the way. When the car reaches 45 km/h, press the stop button on your watch, and write down the time. It works with anything, even real-life cars.

Or you could record in fraps and get milisecond approximations

Instead of just imaginary numbers

i had some sort of conversion thing in one of my notebooks from school... but the stopwatch thing will work too.

Some actual math would be very preferable.

lol, dude, its summertime, nobody cares about math or stuff (at least i don't.)

so i'd go with the stopwatch for now. my brain's kinda shut down.

If you want to get ideas, just look at the parameters and compare them to stock cars or your own cars, genius! See what's different! See what you've been doing wrong!
