I tried to search this but couldn't find it.

So when you are in the settings menu where you can choose which parts you install to your car press START-button and there willl be almost whole screen size more specified dyno sheet like a diagram :dopey:

It's completely useless but another find to me. Maybe there are some usage to it what I haven't figured out?
 
The same graph appears when you click on the small one in the upper right corner. :)
 
yeah, if it had peak numbers it might actually be worth something... but alas, its almost uterly useless.
 
I found that a while back and went - "Oh cool! Oh. Wait. That's pretty useless." My 'excitement' 'dissapointment' kinda looked like the graph, neat peak and then it fell...;)

LOL ... Exactly the thought I had when I found it...

"Hell yeah, awesome, a decent power graph.... Hmm, actually its kinda useless. Damnit."

Not to mention that they use different scales for torque and HP... so they don't necessarily cross at 5252.

You know, everybody talks so much about how Kaz is such a perfectionist, but that's a crock.
 
It makes sense though, with all the different units they use. I mean, using HP and km/m would have the torque curve placed very low on the graph, intersecting power at like 1500 rpm, making the intersection irrelevant...

I still find it useful though. It would be more readable if it displayed the peak RPM number on the graph, but you can check that in your garage, I suppose. And if you really want to, you can get out a ruler and do some quick figuring to find out where specific points are. (Also, I think each straight section/segment of the curve spans 500 rpm). It has been useful to me on several occasions though, like with cars that have early peaks.

Hmmm, dunno. Once you would have to start using rulers on your tv screen to figure something out, the interface design isn't good enough. :lol:
 
I've found it very useful when tuning 6th gear for top speed, and figuring out which cars need to shift past redline and which ones before (without having to run timed tests to test it). While it is annoying they don't list the rpm for max horsepower, it at least lets me know if the car's topping out because the gears are too high or too low :)

i think i read about this 50x since the game got released. :ouch:

Yeah....folks responding to this thread back in early March quickly pointed out the difference in the Power/Torque scales:

One person even took the time to edit the the picture with MS Paint to show that the scaling was different on both graphs, and when this was accounted for, they did in fact cross at about 5252:
