Performance Issues about engine-sim

[Colrover546]

minimum specs vary from engine to engine so that's not possible

Ok, but how do i change engines???

There should be another issue that covers how to do this, but the only thing you need to change is the values in main... assets > engines > main.mr From there, you edit the parameters to what each engine is. So, if you wanted the Audi engine (for example), your main.mr file will read as:

`import "engine_sim.mr" import "part-library/part_library.mr" import "engines/audi/i5.mr"

set_engine( engine: audi_i5_2_2L() )`

It's sort of confusing though, since some engines may have different public nodes than their actual engine .mr file (which can be found within engines > [name of engine folder] > [enginename].mr The audi engine is the only engine like that though, IIRC. Sorry for the wall of text, hope this helps (✿╹◡╹)

Thank you! i really appreciate it!

What i mean by minimum specs is what FPS people have gotten from a mid to low end PC

Happy to help! (＾▽＾)
I hope you were able to get it working properly.

Oooh, awesome! ｡^‿^｡
In regards to performance, keep in mind that you can change the simulation frequency by holding N and moving the scroll wheel (lower, the faster).
I've heard that adding exhaust pipes can also help with performance...
but I'm not 100% sure since I haven't actually made an engine ´･ᴗ･`

Yea so i managed to get 2 engines that work OK but the sound is kinda bugged ima try that

Yup, crackling audio is most likely caused by latency! Simulation frequency should help (✿╹◡╹)

Update: sounds are bugged! send help (i rev the engine and i hear it idling)

Also im getting to crash by revving it LOL

What's your engine's specs? Have you tried adding exhaust pipes? (@_@) Hmmmmm...

How do i add exhaust pipes???
