What is the optimal RPM?
I know that this game only factors in torque for pulling power, but I was wondering what RPM gives the most torque? I am running a Cummins ISX 12 with 1650nm of torque and the discription of the engine says that the peak torque is at 1200 RPMs. I personally find the truck a bit gutless at those revs (as compared with 1500 - 2000 RPM). Also before you ask, no I am not running ANY mods at all. Not even an irrelevent seeming one. Thank You!:steamhappy:

1200 RPM : optimal for eco-driving, loss of momentum
1500-1800 RPM : optimal for shifting, good momentum, bad eco-driving
2000 RPM : bad for shifting, rolling coal, perfect for engine braking

NB: every engine is different and every load effects every engine differently.

Thanks. I will continue to keep it in the 1500 - 1800 RPM range.

Torque curves vary with engine as of v1.6. For the Cummins range -

ISX-12 370 (1350): torque_curve[]: (300, 0) torque_curve[]: (500, 0.5) torque_curve[]: (1150, 1) torque_curve[]: (1400, 1) torque_curve[]: (1800, 0.8) torque_curve[]: (2100, 0.47) torque_curve[]: (2400, 0)

ISX-12 425 (1650): torque_curve[]: (300, 0) torque_curve[]: (500, 0.5) torque_curve[]: (1150, 1) torque_curve[]: (1300, 1) torque_curve[]: (1800, 0.75) torque_curve[]: (2100, 0.47) torque_curve[]: (2400, 0)

Optimal range for pulling will be 1150-1300 and the vehicle will accelerate the hardest within this range.
