Engine Simulator v0.1.13a released to Patreon members!
Added 2023-04-01 15:32:48 +0000 UTCHey guys, v0.1.13a is now available for Patreon members only! It features the optimized physics I showed in my last video. I did also manage to simulate a V69 as a joke... that will show up in my next video. For most engines, this new version should show a 20% improvement in performance. Let me know what you guys think or if you discover any issues!

Thanks dude! Now I can finally run 8 cylinders on my weak CPU. Good luck in future developments.

2023-04-23 10:48:12 +0000 UTCI am simulating a 36 cylinder wasp major with relative fidelity on a 2020 6c cpu. It struggled with 14 on 12.2a its a real difference

2023-04-10 23:47:54 +0000 UTCIt's a very noticeable difference, even on engines with few cylinders.

2023-04-10 00:07:20 +0000 UTCOk, I'm so stoked for the 3d interface, it looks really good from what I can see in the videos.

2023-04-07 03:41:00 +0000 UTC2-strokes are fairly straightforward, I'll be getting to those soon. I'm trying to prioritize work on the 3D interface as much possible so I don't keep you guys waiting too long

2023-04-07 03:39:31 +0000 UTCDang, what about 2 strokes, how hard are those to simulate. I mean I don't code much but it seems kind of similar to your steam engine because of the exhaust port stuff that you did in that video?

2023-04-07 03:31:51 +0000 UTCThis might be hard to believe but in a lot of ways, simulating a nuclear reactor is actually EASIER than a diesel engine. I know it probably seems like there's a lot of overlap between gas and diesel engines (which there is to some extent), diesel engines are actually significantly more complicated to simulate which is why I haven't implemented it yet

2023-04-07 03:29:17 +0000 UTCYeah I dont blame you it would probably take straight days or weeks of code to make nuclear engines even though it sounds like a good video idea
Nathan Byrd
2023-04-07 03:16:31 +0000 UTCThe temptation is definitely powerful but I assure you that diesel engines will be coming before nuclear reactors lol

2023-04-07 03:11:45 +0000 UTCProbably π€£
Nathan Byrd
2023-04-07 03:08:47 +0000 UTCHe'll probably simulate a nuclear reactor before he even thinks about diesel engines. π

2023-04-07 02:54:09 +0000 UTCI also still cant wait until you add 2-strokes and diesels!πππ

2023-04-01 21:49:17 +0000 UTCI love this version!πππ

2023-04-01 21:43:24 +0000 UTCFantastic work! It can actually run my W40 engine now :) can't wait to see the v69 haha

2023-04-01 16:28:45 +0000 UTCIm loving it! Nice work πππ
