Editing XMLs

[OriginalGrubby]

So I've just been looking through XML files curious about the settings and stuff. For giggles I increased a combines speed to 50 under forward speed, and gave it 1300 horse power. I kept the original XML to paste back over once I was done having some fun. What I found is that the combine is limited to 27, even after changing the forward speed and horse power. Even changing the cruise and everything, it tops out at 27 no matter what. Any idea what I would need to change so I can get it to actually do 50 and Dukes of Hazard it over a Semi.

Thanks

Sure. You've already been to the motorConfigurations as you've adjusted the top speed. HP is just a number AFAIK. What you want to adjust are a couple other things also in motorConfigurations:

First, maxRpm in the motor torqueScale line. Try increasing that by a 1000 or so. Also might want to add around 1.0 to the actual torque scale in the same line.

Second, down further are torque values. Ignore the normRpm number, but change the torque number. Try doubling those numbers.

You'll be flying!

Absolutely not. That doesn't work by itself if the torque and RPM values are unable to move the vehicle that fast.

I know, torque is pretty important, I just didn't want to give everything away right of the bat.

Just an example of a test I made long ago for my Fendt, was bored:

<motorConfiguration name="1038" price="0" hp="1000" consumerConfigurationIndex="1">
    <motor torqueScale="5.465" minRpm="650" maxRpm="1700" maxForwardSpeed="150" maxBackwardSpeed="50" brakeForce="16" lowBrakeForceScale="0.22" lowBrakeForceSpeedLimit="1" ptoMotorRpmRatio="3" dampingRateScale="3.3">
        <torque normRpm="0.45" torque="2.5"/>
        <torque normRpm="0.5" torque="3.0"/>
        <torque normRpm="0.59" torque="3.5"/>
        <torque normRpm="0.72" torque="3.8"/>
        <torque normRpm="0.86" torque="3.2"/>
        <torque normRpm="1" torque="2.8"/>
    </motor>
    <transmission minForwardGearRatio="8.8" maxForwardGearRatio="150" minBackwardGearRatio="25" maxBackwardGearRatio="150" name="$l10n_info_transmission_cvt"/>
    <objectChange node="configuration1038" visibilityActive="true" visibilityInactive="false"/>
</motorConfiguration>

Not the best results, but I had fun with it.

You need to alter the gearing. If its a Single Gear at 30/300+ that limits it to roughly 20 mph. Try 20/250 and lower till your happy.

Ahh, ok, I see what you mean now. Thank you!
