Yesterday I finished the gearbox side of "Maximum Input Torque." I've also balanced out the ratings/stats and implemented a new rating for Gearbox Comfort (mainly focused on smoothness and ease of use.) I've also thrown in four new transmission types: Non-synchronous, Semi-Automatic, DCT, and CVT.
This morning I began fixing and balancing the vehicle stats, specs, and ratings. First thing on the list was issues with aerodynamic drag. I found that the frontal surface area was off. Fixed that. Also found some errors in my trigonometry (I got B's in that class in highschool. :\ ) I fixed those issues. Little more tweaking was done, and now calculations are much much more accurate.
I've also implemented the a way to see ratings while designing the vehicle body. There is now a button under the light controls called "Ratings" which will calculate the ratings and bring up the ratings window. So no more going back and forth.
I'll probably switch to fixing a crashing bug in the assisted designer which has popped up with the recent changes to the components system. Since I'll be designing a ton of vehicles the next two or three days, fixing the assistant first will save me time in the long run.
-Gearbox Maximum Torque Input
-Gearbox Comfort/Smoothness Rating
-Four New Transmission Types
-Improved Aerodynamic Drag calculations
-Vehicle Specs window in body designer.
