It sure it! 180 degree and flat are interchangeable terms for it, its when the engine has split crank pins that you have to specify that its a boxer engine instead of just a flat or a 180 degree engine, and the Tucker engine was not a boxer, neither the heavily modified O-335 that actually went into the cars, or the sidelined prototype 589ci monster that could barely produce even a meagre 83 horsepower.

Its really a matter of having the right tyres and suspension for the job, as well as deciding if you want a road car or a rally car which informs your choice of springs and shock absorbers. I don't recall if I had any mods installed here, it has been 7 years and a whole PC upgrade, rebuild and Windows reinstall so I've long lost this version of the game, but I do recall there being a mod that reworks the physics engine somewhat to make it more realistic, though given the age of this video I suspect this was before I began installing mods.

Now, this makes me wonder if this could have 2 cylinders added to make a 2.3 liter boxer-6, up the rev limit to 6500, in a sort of custom lightweight 60s racer from a company with a sequential 6-speed transmission.

@@SolaricAngel116 I don't believe it is possible with an offset crank on a boxer 6. i read an article about this engine years ago and it said that its balance only works on a 4 cylinder, because two opposing cylinders are decelerating while the other two are accelerating.

​@@martin-vv9lfUnderstandable.

I'll see what I can do. My mind has been more unfocused than usual due to the recent severe Solar storms, but I should be able to manage something today.

@@Avetho awesumo power!

Engines

If you're asking how to add engines that you download into the program, you go to engine-sim-v0.1.14a\assets\engines, make a new folder in there for your engines or just dump the .mr files in there, then open Engine Sim, click the Load Engine button, and browse to the directory that contains the engine you want to load. Edit: Its far more elegant than it used to be, you used to have to edit another file to change the directory, but Ange thankfully implemented the current method which is far easier and far superior.

I think it would be akin to adapting three I-3 engines into a common block, with a 60 degree bank angle between them, since a radial 3 engine has the cylinders 120 degrees apart on the crank, or 240 apart in timing, so with the banks all being their own cycles with their cylinders 120 degrees apart, the 60 degree split between each means that in the 720 degree long 4 stroke cycle each bank fires a cylinder once every 240 degrees, and the engine as a whole has an even firing pattern of once every 80 degrees. The way I have this one set up is that the rear row fire one after the other, so this engine isn't balanced well in terms of its firing order, but it does make it quite predictable and easy to make exhaust headers for, and for an ECU to control it, its simply the same I-3 engine but copy-pasted with an 80 degree timing delay between banks, so it could be treated like a set of 3 inline 3 engines just connected together with 3 individual I-3 ECUs mapped to a common throttle body and sensors and whatnot.

@@Avetho I appreciate your comment, it's interesting reading how you did yours. If it was up to me I'd go "I-E E-I I-E" so that there's no exhaust header cooking up a intake plenum. :^) Once I have some free time I'll try to make a undersquare, torquey 120º V12. My 9yo old laptop probably won't be able to handle it, lol. Cheers!

@@peekaboo1575 Yeah, if I redid this engine or one like it, most likely once Ange releases the first version of ES3D -(or well we make it through the current G5 solar storm at least)- I would certainly mirror the center bank cylinder head, it wouldn't do anything to change engine function, but in real life it would make it lighter weight due to less required heat shielding, the way its set out in this video would require some hefty heat shielding between bank one's intake and bank two's exhaust header and between bank two's intake and bank three's exhaust, and for thermal balance this might be best mounted as mid-engine transverse with bank one being the front-most bank and the exhausts coming out the front side of the engine, so the exhaust heat doesn't roast the transmission, 1000 horsepower is a lot for a transverse gearbox to handle so keeping that thing cool is very important.

Thanks! I'd imagine the cranks would be connected by either a very hefty chain or by a common helical-cut gear that acts as the output, kinda like the Cizetta V16T which has a big helical gear in the middle of the crank. If you do cast your own engine parts, you should upload videos on the process, I think a lot of people would be quite interested to follow along! And on the order of the simulator itself, AngeTheGreat really did make a cool simulator, he's currently working on a better 3D version since this one, now referred to as ES2D, was more of a proof of concept, so if you want to keep up to date with his advancements with ES3D you could subscribe to his KZbin channel. He's made a lot of improvements with particle simulation and basically outright created systems to properly simulate the engine sounds rather than some of the things he added to ES2D to make it sound decent. In a recent video he showed what ES2D's raw output audio sounds like and its pretty flat and not very engine-like, but ES3D sounds a lot more like the exhaust of an engine without those shortcuts he had to make in ES2D for it to work right. Its fascinating to watch the development process, I'd say. He recently stepped up the test motor from a weed-whacker motor to an I-4 with a zoomie header on it, he seems to be working on getting exhaust collectors simulated, which includes gas mixing and backpressure and vacuum waves causing scavenging and all that, which means designing a proper equal-length header is now going to be necessary in Engine Simulator to get maximum power from an engine. Fascinating stuff.

That would be amazing! I would try but every time I attempt to figure out FMOD, I get a migraine. Well, not literally, but I've never been able to figure out how to create a completely custom sound bank for even an Assetto Corsa vehicle, let alone the bigger ones for ATS and ETS which contain things like warning chimes, blinkers, lights, other switches, brakes, all of those things.

It could be, but there isn't much material to go on. Technically, the TRZ Airmaster should be a huge radial engine with I believe 90mm bores and enough cylinders to displace 2000 cubic inches, though I don't know if 2000 CUI is reasonable or not, but the Airmaster is also something called a Motorjet, hence it having an afterburning turbine exhaust and a thrust-vectored variable-geometry convergent-divergent thrust nozzle, which is basically required for it to even provide the kinds of rocket thrust on Nitro which JP needed to do something like spinning the Trans Am so fast and with such a burst of speed and thrust it skipped across a lake on Roboworld like a stone thrown by a professional skipper. The previous engine was likely a huge V8 or V12 engine with a giant supercharger, as seen by the Yellowline Trans Am engine sticking part way out of the bonnet, and it made a little over half the power of the Airmaster, I read somewhere that the Yellowline Trans Am had to make around 20k horsepower, while the Airmaster is a complete monster in comparison at 35k, and somewhere else I read that the Gold Nitro had to boost power by like 10 times just to achieve the speeds shown if taken literally and not dramatized, meaning the Airmaster on Gold Nitro was making 350k horsepower, and on the Steamlight it could've been 10 times even that. Honestly, if that's all true, then JP, Sonoshee and Machinehead were well into the hypersonic range going up the Redline Mothership's spine to the finish line, its little wonder they were pressed into the seat not just from the acceleration force that got them going that fast and going faster, but also from the downward force that the ramp was making them feel as they pitched upward higher and higher. Then, its little wonder JP and Sonoshee got so much airtime after the Trans Am exploded, enough to nearly hanky panky while in the air, going so fast and protected by Redline's Supergrass magic aura from the hypersonic wind forces would've sent them halfway to the vacuum of space! The maths are bloody insane, but it only makes the movie that much more awesome to someone like me! XD

Now that sounds like an idea, perhaps I'll give it a shot, the optimizations Ange did in 0.14 should make the program handle it without sound lag, though I'm not sure if it would've been a problem before for most people, with my PC it would've since ES2D seemed to run oddly bad before 0.14, like my system just doesn't do well on the tasks that ES2D needs to run the simulation :P I should have it done relatively soon, then, I just have to finagle my 4 rotor into being twice as long and then realign the rotors.

Well, you are technically right, since although diesel wankel engines have been made, most of them weren't capable of running off a test bench, and the one that did didn't really go anywhere. There was hype in the early 2000s about the 2116R Rotary Rex engine, which was 11.6 liters and two rotors and made 1000 horsepower, or at least RPI said it did, but it never went into production due to its very high price and RPI kind of went defunct by 2011 after making smaller versions and not getting much traction from what I recall reading. So that engine could technically be a hindsight inspiration for these engines XD

@@Avetho Mazda rotary owner myself and fairly technical understanding. I couldn't remember the name of that engine but you certainly did. Thanks for responding. I love it when someone just unloads their knowledge on the internet 😁

@@jameshatton4211 Your welcome, I have a load of random facts floating around in my brain, and when I see something that pings that random knowledge that I've lost somewhere in the reaches of my memory I get an impulse to try to recall it, usually just going onto Google and pinpointing articles on it to refresh my memories, and I like to share that with others. It also makes me happy when someone reminds me of something this way :)

@@Avetho may I ask your age? The way you speak and communicate is like how I do. I'm like a "hanger-on-era" from the forum days? Where posts were about knowledge and thought provoking topics? I've got a project car. A Mazda RX7 Series 4 1988 model (60,000 miles on the clock) all converted series 5 infini (rare 2 seater model with fixed back racing seats genuine made from mazda in purple suede 👌) it's full wide body +70mm rear +45mm front all metal fab front fenders no fingerless rubbish. Even the fuel flap had been pumped out to sit flush with the body retains all the factory lever and factory filter 👌. Brand new 13B REW series 8 RX7 motor last of the 10 built from Japan came wrapped in plastic 👌 Triple plate clutch Water injection CDI T04Z roller bearing turbo V mount cooler Aviation oil drive block kit to inject 2 stroke instead of sump oil 😉 New gearbox New mechanical 1.5 way LSD Custom intake plenum etc etc I'm running a 11mm CNC baffle plate across the bottom of the motor as an experiment to see if this can mitigate the need for doweling the motor? We'll see 🤔 List is large. I'm running Haraguchi's Formula D1 front steering rack and knuckles off everything from his D1 race car 😎 Water injection is a style similar to how WW2 German planes used to run. There's a whole world of knowledge in those translations that can bring the rotary engine to life much better than any porting can for a street car (in my opinion) It will blow people's minds to know that those planes in WW2 were running over 200 pounds of boost 50 : 50 water to fuel and over a million volts of delayed capacitative spark ignition system! 😲 Also another sideways theory I'm going with is not going with a massive rear turbo housing at all. I'm going with massive twin 50mm waste gates though! You put the soloid control in as another map into the ECU and tune in 3D keeping boost pressure as the constant 😉 where people think the rear housing is going to "choke" 🙄 it will never choke if you relieve that pressure like it's almost naturally aspirated? You are basically bleeding off exhaust pressure enough to keep the turbo spinning to the required boost pressure! No boost spikes either i can guarantee that 💯%

@@Avetho i may have totally lost you with my spew of autistically collaborated excitement. Please forgive me 🙏

Its kinda does, doesn't it? Like a bit different in tone and a bit higher pitch but a bit Triton-like. Its probably the headers, I made the headers as close as I could to the ones on Jay Leno's 1934 Rolls-Royce Merlin, the big car with the big exposed headers, like the first cylinder on each bank is the main tube and as it goes down on a diagonal each of the next cylinders joins it before it exits to the main straight pipes under the running boards. Its an amazing car. Edit: Just comparing them now, I realize I did a few things wrong if I wanted to match Jay Leno's Merlin in sound, the way Engine Sim is calculating the header is by merging them all at one collector, it doesn't do log headers, so in essence the header on this thing looks like a long tube from the rear 4 cylinders of each bank entering portals and coming out by the collector which is attached directly to the front cylinders, and only then do the tubes combine, since the header tubes are only about as long as you see in Jay Leno's video, and the engine is longer, long enough that only cylinder two on each side could connect to a collector at cylinder one. Its a right mess, so its little wonder the sound isn't close to Jay Leno's Merlin.

The thing is, you can make master and slave rods, given Ange's own radial examples have them, but I didn't know how to make them when I made this video and I still don't quite understand how.

That is what research is for, Crack open the books and learn... @@Avetho 🤪🤗 You can do it! (After you work on one all the rest are a piece of cake 😁😁😁😁

Sadly, it was removed from the place I got it from, so I uploaded it to my Google Drive. drive.google.com/file/d/1zE5G0VP87Vj8YhjNUHovDQ6IR8Um1hET/view?usp=sharing

tysm!

It's been a while since I started up Engine Sim, but I'll give it a shot! I just realized that it should sound pretty interesting, given that all Merlin engines had no exhaust headers, it was just a dump tube for each cylinder just long enough to extend past the engine cowling, hence why planes like the Spitfire have six exhaust tubes on each side.

LOL I know, its funny. However, it is theoretically possible, the engine of an 11000hp top fuel dragster puts out around 1100 pounds of downforce, which comes out to around 1905 pounds of total thrust given the pipes are angled out and back 45 degrees in each axis, so a 20000 horsepower engine at peak RPM would be putting out about 3464 pounds of thrust, which is 8.05% of the thrust output of the F-35 Lightning II, or 6.93% the thrust of the Thrust SSC land speed record vehicle, directed back out of the TransAm 20k's thrust-vectoring exhausts, which have Nitro-driven afterburners inside them like jet engines, because that's that they really are XD There's a surprising amount of plausible things in Redline, if you ignore the magic and the blatant violations of the laws of physics and look at the devices through the lens of realism instead of an epic animated film, its what I tried to do and I made this XD

@@Avetho I watched Redline, it was real good. Also I didn't know the exhausts on the Trans Am were thrust vectoring afterburners. So, JP could slap some wings on it and fly around.

@@mondrianman2169 I'm not sure if its ever stated what exactly each vehicle has to make them unique and absurdly fast, but if you look at the back of the original 20kHP TransAm, the exhausts are smooth but they seem to be like ball sockets, which implies the ability to rotate. At high speed, it would give decent yaw control, such as JP drifting around a corner and using the thrust to give him extra turning force, and after Sonoshee pulled ahead with her jet-powered Crab Sonoshee, JP hits the power on more and turns out of the drift, even though a normal vehicle in similar conditions would've spun out from oversteer, so I imagine JP has some kind of yaw pedal in the footwell that lets him control the angle of those exhausts. I enjoy taking things that are meant to be simply enjoyed by watching and diving into the possibilities of tech to replicate it, its why I'm a big Make It Real fan and watch every Hacksmith video, and the whole deal with JP's TransAm thrust vectoring gets better when the TRZ Airmaster is basically a hybrid radial piston-jet engine, a real thing called a Motorjet btw, except futuristic and making 35 thousand horsepower, and since it always has an afterburner on given the exhaust plume coming out the back of the TransAm 20000 WR, its putting out around 6061 pounds of dry thrust, and 9204 pounds of wet thrust with the afterburner assuming a similar ratio as the F35 Lightning II's F135 engine. I don't like math, but the numbers I reach when I dive into the physics like this are exciting XD

@@Avetho It's been a bit but was just about to mention the Motorjet until I fully read the comment. My biggest issue with the Airmaster is where the hell are the intakes on this thing?! The only way they'd actually get it to work without intakes is having an oxidizer (which tbh is probably what all Redline racers use). The only other explanation is in the end of this video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGLXk4Wkf9qHr9Usi=mEpcKTZtkp8RJQqH the guy talks about modern Motorjet concepts, (you've probably watched it) and when a video graphic of one is shown it has these cylinder like objects that reciprocate, which might be for the bore sizes mentioned. In the movie when the trike chassis is exposed, you see intakes on the side which match with the 2 parallel bars in the movie (kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3fUlJWnjbCBhbMsi=-8IsSLVNeVmsaoD_). Other wise the parallel bars are 2 inlines that use an oxidizer or there are intakes that are not shown.

​@@Avetho WAIT! I JUST REALIZED! There's another engine in the trike. In front of JP, 4 exhausts, that's got to be the V8 from the pre-Redline Tans Am. I see how it works! The V8 must be what is used to have very quick torque and acceleration and the Airmaster with its insane HP and RPM give the Trans Am its ludicrous speed. Also the turbine has to be more Gold Nitro friendly than a piston engine, we'll have to assume they're using an incredible alloy that prevents them from having a rapid and unscheduled disassembling. Hell, who knows we'd likely have to ask a skilled mechanical engineer which is more practical for racing.

YUP ITS WRITING ON SCREEN :)

This isn't my game, its made by AngeTheGreat and the front-end/GUI isn't a big focus so much as the really high quality fluid simulation that drives everything which he coded from scratch by himself. In the latest update he's been working on, he added an entire title screen and level menu and everything, cleaning it up as a proper game. Edit (Literally 2 months later): It only just occurred to me now that you were probably talking about your version of the game being outdated compared to the latest version at the time. I guess I really was tired when I first replied XD

Yes, I left it in the background for an afternoon and got it, but I had already some progress to getting the achievement so I don't know if it would take just an afternoon in the background. I just worked the engine to the point I could keep the water fully open and make it act like a pop-pop boat motor in a way, or a flash boiler in other words.

oh yea. I just left it last night and got 6 litre already. Btw i have another achievement i haven't unlock which is high vacuum. I tried several YT tutor and still can't unlock it. The partial vacuum is done suddenly when i play regularly@@Avetho

@@gabrielaipassa45 I can't figure out what exactly I did to get it, since I got it months ago screwing around with the game and just saw the achievement come in. Steam says I unlocked it on July 1st last year. From looking at the Steam community forum, a player called Zehn came up with this: 1. Open game. 2. Enter "hell" mode by repeatedly clicking on the bottom right button [A] 3. Press X on keyboard to disable the relief valve. Also insure that throttle is set to 0%. 4. Increase heat to 100%. 5. Wait until temp is 300 deg C and pressure is at 350 PSI. 6. Flip open the drain very briefly and close again very quickly. (Edit: Briefly for me was nearly 1 second) 7. Temp and PSI should increase to max again much quicker than the first time. 8. Lower heat to 0%. 9. Wait. As temp starts to drop, PSI should soon follow and quickly create a vacuum. And with how many users were thanking them, it likely works reliably. Edit: I just tested it, after about 10 to 15 minutes after I messed around with how precise to get the process, I got it down to nearly -30 inHg. I recalled that I did some weird thing with the rotation of the steam engine when I got the achievement, but that was an earlier version of the game before Ange changed some things to make it a more realistic simulation than it already was.

There is a simpler way, just enable hell mode and heater until max psi and temp when it gets there just turn the heat to 0 and your done

There are no four-row radial engines with three cylinders per row (which is what this model is intended to represent), but it would work as a conventional multi-row radial engine. A 12-cylinder radial also works with six cylinders per row and two rows aligned with each other (not staggered); the Curtiss H-1640 Chieftain was an example.

The gearbox is a 20 speed manual and it revs that high because I made the engine indestructible and used a performance engine block which changed the torque curve. Without making the engine indestructible, it would've grenaded itself easily, I never really intended for the engine to be realistic when I put this together XD

That it does, when you switch it into devil mode the whistle goes from the normal piercing shrill sound to more of a spooky howl, and the pressure rising and falling constantly sure doesn't help XD
