MotorSim 2: Your Land Vehicle Performance Calculator
MotorSim 2 is a powerful performance calculator for land vehicles. This app is a physics simulator, not a driving game; it focuses solely on straight-line acceleration performance.
MotorSim 2 lets you meticulously configure vehicle specifications and instantly calculates the resulting performance. An interactive simulator features a speedometer, RPM meter, throttle, brake, and gear shifting (manual or automatic). The app also includes procedurally generated engine sounds (not sample-based) and displays vehicle position on a 1/4-mile track segment. Save and compare performance runs ("ghosts") of different vehicle configurations for easy analysis.
Configurable Vehicle Parameters:
- Maximum Power
- Power Curve (point-by-point definition)
- Torque Curve (power curve defines torque)
- Maximum Engine RPM (rev limiter)
- Gear Configuration (up to 10 gears)
- Resistances (Cd, frontal area, rolling resistance coefficients)
- Vehicle Weight
- Tire Size
- Shift Time
- Transmission Efficiency
Calculated Performance Parameters:
- Maximum Speed
- Acceleration times (0-60 mph, 0-100 km/h, 0-200 km/h, 0-300 km/h, etc.)
- Many other parameters measurable via the interactive simulator.
