@ et_
and
@ ALB123 :
Thanks to both of you to take the time to try to explain all this to a partial non-techie!
E.g. I have problems to understand how a differtial works (that is the thing below the gearbox-settings, I guess it is called "LSD" in PS3-terms but may not have to do with drugs !? ;o))
Even though I once had a 1:8 model of a differential built together myself, I still didn't completely look through it.
I guess the guy who invented it must have been a rocket scientist or so?
But that's not my final question:
after all your explanations my last question would be:
what does the sheer NUMBER of "Final Gear" mean?
I know that every gear has a certain ratio, and after I have made all their settings, I finally move the "Final Gear"-slider into the desired position (usually to the left),
whereas the lines in the diagram spread out to be more seperated, but the gear-ratios don't change at all, they are left at the settings I have made before.
So what does that "Final Gear"-number mean?
I tried to recover a very good gearbox setup for my X-Bow Street '12, since I messed it all up but cannot find the original tune (must have been the TT @ Ascari I guess).
I ended up with a gearbox that is stuck in the limiter at 250 km/h all the time, no matter what I do or change!
I just thought Matterhorn Dristelen would be a nice test for the X-Bow (and in fact one of the top 10 guys used this car), but without my previous genius setup I am completely lost.
Have all the settings, also the gearbox, but the initial "Final Gear"-setting is missing.
I just have:
Top-Speed: 230 km/h
1st gear: 2,991
2nd gear: 2,116
3rd gear: 1,591
4th gear: 1,250
5th gear: 1,026
6th gear: 0,881
--------------------------
Final Gear: 5.000
But this doesn't work, apparently since the initial "Final Gear" setting is missing, therefore messing up all the rest...
Sorry to be a pain in the
@ss for all of you, but many thanks again to have taken the time and effort to answer my questions!
Maybe one day I will understand a little bit more about all this with your help!?
Kind regards,
Tom
