Question about an engine's ObjectTemplate.setAcceleration

Post by dudejo »

Long story short, what do you think it's meant to simulate?

EDIT : I've used it in different ways but ultimately, I'm trying to figure out how it's supposed to be used.

How fast it speeds up to top speed.

You mean like the drivetrain's inertia?

Like if I used a velocity squared equation based on the vehicle's top speed and used the result as the engine's setAcceleration value?

I, think so. I was mistaking engine for rotational bundle, but I think it is a shared characteristic.

The thing is, I've been researching the best way to use the setAcceleration setting but I can't seem to find any discussion about it. At best, they say what the setting does with no other details.

What I'm basically looking for is a discussion that would say : "A vehicle with X parameters would have Y setAcceleration."
