Quote from: Ranran(retired) on March 04, 2024, 02:05:20 PM"Rated speed" is generally a characteristic of electric motors, but in simutrans extended all power has the same characteristics as electric motors.
This property was once coded by Bernd Gabriel. So from that point on, this concept exists in Simutrans Extended.
Same problem also for jet aircraft, where instead of power we should talk about thrust.

I do not think that this concept is used in the 14.x branch if I have understood what you mean by it correctly. Is this not the thing used in the 15.x branch to determine the base speed for the calculation of fuel consumption?"Rated speed" is generally a characteristic of electric motors, but in simutrans extended all power has the same characteristics as electric motors.

Or semi-public, organised as a private company with governments (often regional) as main shareholder.
