What is the formula for calculating the VE value in car physics for simulation?

[lippylipe]

Hello to all,

as i saw the forum and all the posts i hope i come to the right place. I don't know much about physics, but reading and looking throw the physics files i managed to a bit understand how things works. Now i am try to make a car physics for the old rally simulation Richard Burns rally. When i look at the files i don't know how to calculate the VE value in the file common.lsp you can find a copy of the file here: http://www.2shared.com/file/RniwTcoR/common.html

I know that this values are connected with car horspower and torque, but i don't know how to calculate them. I hope someone can help me. Thanks!

</code>VE stands for Vehicle Efficiency. It is a percentage value that should be adjusted to reflect the efficiency of the car. The higher the VE value, the more efficient the car will be. The formula to calculate the VE value is:VE = (Horsepower / Torque) * 100For example, if a car has 200 horsepower and 400 torque, then the VE value would be 50%:VE = (200 / 400) * 100 = 50%
