### 新手车辆调校简易指南 #### 简介 本指南将为你介绍车辆调校的基础知识，以及一些让你的爱车适应赛道或街道驾驶的技巧。请记住：调校的主要目的是让车辆尽可能贴合你的驾驶风格。我的建议可能并不适合所有人，实际效果因人而异。

Powertrain Coolant RadiatorRadiator is the main component to ensure the cooling of your engine. A bigger radiator leads to better cooling. Your engine heats up when driving in high-revs or at the limit of the engine. Large size radiator: A larger radiator helps to cool down the motor when driving in high RPM for a longer period of time. This means, if you accelerate and drive at high speeds a lot, you might want to consider installing a larger radiator. Large radiators are used when trying to reach the highest top speed of a car. They're also useful for drifting, to help not overheating when cornering in quick succession. Basic radiator: Sometimes you might find that a basic radiator is sufficient. You will learn after some experimentation if you need a larger radiator or not. Why would you not install a large size radiator anyway? It adds 3kg of weight to your car. It doesn't sound much at first, but considering sometimes every millisecond counts, every kg does as well. Additional information: Truck-engines should generally not be driven in the red-zone. They overheat very quick and you get the best performance when the revs are in the green-zone. Your autopilot may overheat your engine if you have the driving mode set to sport or drift. Intake Short intake A short intake makes the engine respond quicker to the throttle. You will gain more torque in higher revs. This is the choice for racing and street cars. Long intake A long intake will shift the torque to lower RPM's. You will install this in most trucks and semi-trucks. EngineEngines determine how much actual power your car has, but it will also add a lot of weight. Just a one-level higher engine will affect the handling very noticeably. Engines really need to be picked with thought in mind. The V12 400HP might always lead to the highest top-speed, but you won't always be the fastest on the streets/tracks with it. Taxi-Driving: You will need a compromise between speed and handling. Both need to be well balanced if you want to successfully deliver urgent-comfort passengers in full satisfaction. Too much acceleration may it make much more difficult after a corner to accelerate without spooking the client. This is up to any car by it's on and really requires experimentation and practice. Trucking: You should choose your engine depending on the weight of your cargo. A stronger engine will drain much more fuel and especially with the huge tanks that trucks have, it can take quite a big cut off your overall trucking-income. Bigger is not always better. Racing: The engine should be selected depending on the track and the car of course. For a small track like Olle-Speedway it rarely makes sense to put a 400HP engine in your car. Some cars also simply handle bad if the engine chosen is too big or powerful. Some of the best laptimes on Ansan-Raceway have been made with 340HP engine. With the racetracks currently in game it's mostly important for cars to handle well and be able to corner fast. TurbochargerThe "stock" turbo, which needs to be installed additionally doesn't need to fill up, but grants extra power almost immediately when accelerating. A stage 1 turbo needs some pressurising before it adds to the power, however, you will gain much more boost than the stock turbo. Turbo-lag isn't very strong in this game (if you drove Group-B cars, you know what I mean), but still you want the turbo to be active at most of times. To ensure your turbo is ready, hold the clutch and accelerate, then release the clutch. TransmissionThe choice of your transmission determines how many gears your car has and also the specific gear ratios. As far as I know torque-converter transmissions are more suited for strong and heavy vehicles, such as the Mitage or the Mammoth. More gears: slower acceleration, higher top-speed less gears: faster acceleration, lower top-speed On smaller race-tracks it can make sense to consider smaller transmissions like 4-gear or 5-gear. If you go through many gears in a short time without a longer straight at some point you probably have to many gears. Final-drive ratioThe higher the number, the shorter your gear becomes. higher ratio: faster acceleration, lower top-speed lower ratio: slower acceleration, higher top-speed It's important to setup the ratio according your driving-needs. Generally you should ensure, that you can reach the last gear. It doesn't need to hit the limit, but somewhere close to that will make fuel use of the engine. On track-racing your setup should prioritise a compromise between top-speed and acceleration. During the fastest part of a track you should be close to limit your revs. If the track has many corners, it can be favourable to choose faster acceleration over top-speed and driving part of the track reving at limit. Experiment! DifferentialsDifferentials can be quite hard to understand. I'm not an expert myself, but overall you can say: differentials manipulate power transfer between wheels to avoid wheel spin and to ensure equalling distribution. Depending on FWD, RWD or AWD you'll find either front-(FWD), rear-(RWD) or front-center-rear-(AWD)differentials. Generally you can say: Locked diffs, drifter diff will make the car more stable in a straight line, but will decrease cornering speed Racing-Street, Racing Diff will improve cornering speed at the cost of straight line stability Extra tip: For offroad hauls it is almost necessary to install locked diffs to ensure the wheels don't lock on uneven surfaces. If you struggle climbing, check if your diffs are locked.

悬挂系统 悬挂系统决定了车辆的操控表现。虽然存在一些通用调校原则，但具体设置很大程度上还取决于驾驶风格。悬挂是实现车辆个性化并根据自身需求进行调校的关键途径。 悬挂调校的通用原则是：在不影响操控性的前提下，尽可能将悬挂调硬并降低车身。 在平坦赛道上，悬挂可以调得非常硬且车身高度很低。 在不平整赛道上，悬挂应调得较高且较软。 防倾杆 防倾杆用于控制传动系统的倾斜幅度。较硬的防倾杆能减少车身的侧倾，这有助于在连续快速过弯时保持车辆控制。减少侧倾会降低重量转移，从而缩小车轮之间的负载差异。在崎岖地形或越野时，过硬的防倾杆（ARB）会产生反效果。轮胎可能无法再与地面保持接触，从而降低整体抓地力。 悬挂弹簧决定了压缩弹簧所需的力。车辆越重，弹簧就需要越强。较软的弹簧有助于在通过崎岖地形时保持控制，但也会增加车身侧倾并降低过弯时的整体速度。 这也意味着，较硬的设置有助于过弯，因为它能减少重量转移并增加抓地力。然而，设置得过硬会导致操控性变差，车辆可能会变得颠簸。悬挂弹簧应始终与悬挂减震器相匹配。悬挂减震器和悬挂弹簧协同工作。减震器用于调节弹簧的工作状态并减少弹跳。较软的减震器会使弹簧反应更灵敏，而较硬的减震器会减少弹簧的活动空间。 你可以尝试将减震器调软、弹簧调硬，观察车辆的行驶表现，然后再反过来调整。这样有助于你感受这两个部件对车辆的影响。 悬挂高度：车辆高度较低时，过弯会更轻松，因为重心更低，每个车轮所受的杠杆力减小，整体的重量转移也会减少。 但如果悬挂过低，在不平整的路面上车辆会难以控制。轮距垫片：轮距垫片有助于进一步减少车身侧倾，并分散车轮所受的力。对于较高的车辆，它还能帮助防止侧翻。 转向角度套件：转向角度套件可增加车轮的转向角度。这对于非常长的车辆特别有用，能让它们在狭窄空间内更容易操控。赛车则不会从中真正受益，因为它不会提高过弯速度。 其他 刹车：车辆越重，刹车的基础数值就越高。这也意味着车辆越重，刹车升级的效果就越明显。 在极少数情况下，更强的刹车也能在赛车中提供帮助。不过我发现，更强的刹车并不会帮助更快减速，反而容易导致车轮抱死。虽然全轮驱动车辆通常似乎能从升级的刹车中受益。 空气动力学部件 空气动力学部件将极大地帮助车辆变得更加稳定。更大的空气阻力意味着更多的空气阻碍，会导致加速变慢。在某些情况下，你可能需要在下压力和空气阻力之间进行权衡。
