Documentation/Engine/Units/accessory engine data

The accessory_engine_data unit class is used to define the engine characteristics for the player's vehicle, as well as some upshift and downshift characteristics for automatic transmission gameplay. Units of this type are usually defined in /def/vehicle/truck/<make.model>/engine/*.sii

Attributes

Many common attributes are inherited from accessory_data.

Name	Type	Default Value	Description
info	string array		Three info members are usually defined for accessory_engine_data. info[]: "197 @@hp@@ (147@@kw@@)" // The first is the rated power info[]: "550 @@lb_ft@@ (782 @@nm@@)" // The second is the peak torque info[]: "1@@dg@@200 @@rpm@@" // The third is the peak torque speed Note: The info attribute has no effect on the engine simulation. Rather, it is used for UI display and for attaching to World of Trucks profile truck uploads.
torque	float		This defines the maximum torque output of the engine in N·m.
torque_curve	float2 array	See description	This defines the torque output of the engine at various engine speeds, relative to the maximum torque defined in torque. If unset, the default curve is used: torque_curve[]: (300, 0) torque_curve[]: (440, 0.5) torque_curve[]: (1000, 1) torque_curve[]: (1300, 1) torque_curve[]: (1900, 0.77) torque_curve[]: (2400, 0.4) torque_curve[]: (2600, 0) The torque output is linearly interpolated between data points. For engine speeds outside the domain of the data points, the output is clamped to the values at the highest/lowest rpm points. The valid range for torque output is 0-1.
rpm_idle	float	550	This is the engine speed the virtual engine controller will attempt to maintain with no throttle input.
rpm_limit	float	2500	This is the maximum engine speed the virtual engine controller will allow (except if the engine is being driven by the wheels).
rpm_limit_neutral	float	2500	This is the maximum engine speed the virtual engine controller will allow if the transmission is in neutral.
rpm_range_low_gear	float2	(700, 1500)	Defines the downshift and upshift engine speeds in low-range gears.
rpm_range_high_gear	float2	(1000, 1500)	Defines the downshift and upshift engine speeds in high-range gears.
rpm_range_engine_brake	float2	(1500, 2500)	Defines the downshift and upshift engine speeds while the engine brake is operating.
rpm_range_power_boost	float2	(550, 450)	Defines the change to rpm_range_low_gear and rpm_range_high_gear at full throttle when adaptive automatic transmission is enabled.
engine_brake	float		Peak engine braking torque relative to torque, at the maximum engine brake strength.
engine_brake_downshift	bool		When true, automatic transmissions will downshift upon beginning engine brake behavior as long as rpm_limit is not exceeded.
engine_brake_positions	uint		Defines the number of strength levels for the engine brake. The braking torque at each position is based linearly on the number of positions. So for engine_brake_positions: 3 the first position will have 1⁄3 × engine_brake × torque, the second position will have 2⁄3 × engine_brake × torque, and the highest position will have engine_brake × torque.
volume	float		The (four-stroke) volumetric displacement of the engine in liters. It is used in fuel consumption calculations. Note: For two-stroke diesel engines, this should be roughly twice the swept volume.
consumption_coef	float	1.0	This is used to scale the fuel consumption of the engine relative to the game's calculated value.
adblue_consumption	float	0.05	This is how many liters of AdBlue (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) are consumed per liter of fuel. TIP: For older engines which do not use AdBlue, this attribute should be set to 0.
no_adblue_power_limit	float		When the AdBlue tank is empty, the engine's power is scaled by this factor.
