What are "powerloss" and "massfactor" in vehicle xml?

[the_jeby]

Goodmorning,

I'm messing around with a .hvehl file for my car to edit the cW and frontSurface and I found this two entries:

<powerloss>0.180000</powerloss>
<massfactor>1.100000</massfactor>

what do they mean?

Thanks

At a guess, power loss would be an estimate of the fraction of power lost from the flywheel to the wheels. Mass factor might be the inverse of volumetric efficiency.

Both parameters are not used currently. They are part of my endless research and test implementations of "power generated by an engine". I have 4 different calculations for power and torque in place. 2 of them are used (Engine View and video overlays) and two others are "sleeping" currently. This is one of the sleeping functions.
