Modern Sims Still Use A Throttle Model From The Year 2000! Explained, Exampled, Suggestions made.
I get annoyed when sims use, what in my opinion, is a not very realistic and outdated model for computing the engine torque when you're between 0% and 100% throttle. I'm looking at 12 sims, some better than others, explain the consequences while you're driving, and hopefully sims will take a much needed step forward with this information.
