Inaccurate Listed Speeds on Branded Cars
« on: April 07, 2013, 01:42:49 PM »
I really thought I'd found a deal with the latest Prius Eco pack - the Prius c, according to its description, would give me a discount on my family bills on a car that only cost 15000 Simoleans and would be faster than the Bwan speedster.  The price was right, and I can't speak to the bills' discount (I have the LTR) but the car is certainly not a speed 9 - I'm being overtaken by taxis and bicyclists!

Can anyone get into the code and find the real speed of the cars in the game?  I'd be much obliged.

Very few of the cars are actually listed in the coding.   And they don't show the speed like they do in the game apparently. 

The coding for the ownable police car seems to be:
<Current_Tuning>
    <kCarTuning>
      <Speed value="45">
        <!--Car speed in meters / second (second = Sim minute).-->
      </Speed>
      <Acceleration value="15">
        <!--Car acceleration in meters / second^2 (second = Sim minute).-->
      </Acceleration>
    </kCarTuning>
  </Current_Tuning>

The coding for the Prius C is:
  <Current_Tuning>
    <kCarTuning>
      <Speed value="18">
        <!--Car speed in meters / second (second = Sim minute).-->
      </Speed>
      <Acceleration value="5">
        <!--Car acceleration in meters / second^2 (second = Sim minute).-->
      </Acceleration>
    </kCarTuning>
    <kBillReductionPercentage value="0.05">
      <!--Range:  0 - 1  Description:  Percent reduction of bills.  We only use the upgrade or the normal.  They do not work together. (.05 will reduce your total bills by 5%)-->
    </kBillReductionPercentage>
    <kMinViewDistance value="2">
      <!--Range:  0 - ?  Description:  Min view distance-->
    </kMinViewDistance>
    <kMaxViewDistance value="5">
      <!--Range:  0 - ?  Description:  Max view distance-->
    </kMaxViewDistance>
  </Current_Tuning>

So only a little more than a third as fast as the police car, which isn't any great shakes.  Time to ditch the Ed Begley Special and get myself a cute roadster!
