A Menu
Item allows you to select from three different minimum engine speeds.
By
default Engine Speeds expects the user to enter the minimum RPMs.
Use the scroll gadget to enter the speed the motor idles (more or less.) You
might decide that although the engine idles at 750 RPM it really doesn't make
enough power until it is revved above 2000 RPMs. Or
you may wish to conserve fuel and decide that 500 RPMs
is your minimum.
Another
Menu\Options\MinRPMs will set the minimum RPMs to 10% of the MaxRPMs. The
minimum RPMs field will be inactive. It is useful
when you don’t actually know the idle speed of the engine.
The
next Menu\Option\MinRPMs is redline
from the previous gear. The minimum RPMs field will
be active as it is used for Reverse and First.
Enter
the maximum RPMs the vehicles engine can spin
(redline.) Not much you can change here without expensive engine modifications.
Be
aware that while mathematically the program often calculates a very high top
speed it is unlikely that many vehicles will actually achieve the top speed
displayed. Often top gear in a vehicle is designed to save fuel at highway
speeds, not to set a new land speed record.
