Documentation/Engine/Units/accessory wheel data
< Documentation | Engine | UnitsRevision as of 15:58, 30 May 2017 by Smarty (talk | contribs) (→Attributes: Hiding inner_width and inner_radius until we have descriptions)
The accessory_wheel_data unit class is used to define wheels for most vehicle types, and tires for the player's vehicle. It defines the path to the visible model, the look used, whether it is paintable, and some physical characteristics of the tire (for playable vehicles). Units of this type are typically found in:
- /def/vehicle/ai_wheel/*.sii (wheels used for AI vehicles)
- /def/vehicle/f_tire/*.sii (front tires for playable trucks)
- /def/vehicle/f_wheel/*.sii (front wheels for AI trucks)
- /def/vehicle/r_tire/*.sii (rear tires for playable trucks)
- /def/vehicle/r_wheel/*.sii (rear wheels for AI trucks)
- /def/vehicle/tr_wheel/*.sii (wheels for trailers)

Attributes
Many common attributes are inherited from accessory_data. Required attributes are bolded.
| Name | Type | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| model | string | Path to the descriptor (.pmd) of a valid wheel model. Valid wheel models have left and right variants and a bb model locator which sets the rolling/collision radius. | |
| look | token | default | Selects the look to be used. |
| paintable | boolean | false | When true, enables the color picker on the garage, truck browser, etc screens. The paint color is applied to pieces of the model whose materials use the paint flavor.
Note: Unlike other accessories, wheel accessories do not inherit the paint color(s) of the vehicle they belong to. |
| default_color | float3 | (1.0, 1.0, 1.0) | Sets the default color for the wheel accessory. |
| roll_resistance | float | Tire rolling resistance in kg/t (EU Tyre Labelling Regulation 1222/2009) | |
| wet_grip | float | Tire wet grip performance (EU Tyre Labelling Regulation 1222/2009) | |
| noise_volume | float | Tire rolling noise in dB (EU Tyre Labelling Regulation 1222/2009) |
EU Tire Label Letter Grades for Truck and Bus (C3) Tires
From ETRMA Industry Guidelines Version 4 (5 July, 2012)
Where numerical data is not available, the following tables are useful to translate letter grades from tire labels to the values used for roll_resistance and wet_grip.
Rolling Resistance
| Class | RRC in kg/t |
|---|---|
| A | RRC ≤ 4.0 |
| B | 4.1 ≤ RRC ≤ 5.0 |
| C | 5.1 ≤ RRC ≤ 6.0 |
| D | 6.1 ≤ RRC ≤ 7.0 |
| E | 7.1 ≤ RRC ≤ 8.0 |
| F | RRC ≥ 8.1 |
| G | Empty |
Wet Grip
| Class | G |
|---|---|
| A | G ≥ 1.25 |
| B | 1.10 ≤ G ≤ 1.24 |
| C | 0.95 ≤ G ≤ 1.09 |
| D | 0.80 ≤ G ≤ 0.94 |
| E | 0.65 ≤ G ≤ 0.79 |
| F | G ≤ 0.64 |
| G | Empty |
