You are misunderstanding me, I think. I am an amateur engine builder, myself. "Amateur" as in : I don't get paid to do it, not as in "I can't rebuild a Chevy 350 without a video tutorial and an assistant"
I am not a master mechanic, but I am a competent one nonetheless
I am not asking about how one determines volumetric efficiency and can enhance power-generating principles in an internal combustion engine, or how one can simulate engine output with PC programs to determine ratings for horsepower.
I am asking: how do
you determine
in the simulation that each engine has the correct available power. It seems to me that you may be over-complicating. The sim does not model every valve, every coupling, every octane fuel, every reduction gear and every supercharger impeller
So I am curious as to how you are determining that the engines you are talking about are producing incorrect power
I am 100% willing to agree with you that they are; however, the method you are using to come to this conclusion is not clear to me so I am asking about how you've reached this conclusion- what was your method for determining the engines in the sim are incorrect
Dkoor is laughing, incidentally, because of my mention of the Aircraft Viewer. It's something of a mild joke, the aircraft viewer. Some people don't realize this, and they think that what's in the aircraft viewer is precisely fact as far as the sim goes. Perhaps it even was at one time, but as the sim was patched and updated, the aircraft viewer was neglected and not updated
