So you mean the World Garage guide and such were correct? 'Therefore we can lay to rest the overall tuning theory, the color tuning theory was correct!' My guess is that they are bonuses added on top of what is listed for every car under pvehicle, but whether to individual H/A/T or to overall is anyone's guess.

Under hat_bonus field, every node has three values, 1, 2 and 3, but VLT only shows them as strings of numbers, which look like hex values to my untrained eyes. If you looked under performanceparts, they will seem familiar In partcollections, 'title' field cycles every four nodes, GEARHEAD-PISTONHEAD-SMOKESHOW-RAILS. STATIC_GRIP - lowest for '_t', medium for '_a', highest for '_h' They differ in:ĭYNAMIC_GRIP - slightly higher for '_h' variant Once again, every car has '_a', '_t', '_h' versions in addition to parent node. 300c) the game's programmers got lazy and didn't change anything.Ħ) tires/default retains the Carbon categories of muscle/exotic/tuner. Anyhow, in most cases '_a' and '_t' are identical, and only '_h' differs. I guess EBRAKE is the handbrake (the one when you press Space). SHOCK_DIGRESSION (lower for '_h' version)ĥ) brakes/default. BFH, Viper) also differ in the following:ĪERO_COEFFICIENT (higher for the '_h' version) (The '_h' versions have higher stiffness) SHOCK_EXT_STIFFNESS (which always seems to be higher than the other, just FYI) For some cars, the '_h' variant is significantly lighter (for instance, BFH SUV). They only differ in FINAL_GEAR - smallest value for '_t', medium for '_h' and highest for '_a'Ĥ) chassis/default. Some cars have identical values, however, for all three variants.ģ) transmission/default. They usually differ in HIGH_BOOST and LOW_BOOST (a-t-h in descending order). The variants (see above) only differ in TORQUE.Ģ) induction/default. Therefore we can lay to rest the overall tuning theory, the color tuning theory was correct!ġ) engine/default node determines engine performance part's effect. I guess the parent node is either untuned or balanced (or maybe both), while '_a' is for blue parts, '_h' for red and '_t' for green. (I suppose the ones that don't have the variants are Carbon/testing leftovers)

These must be related to the fact that almost every car-related node has three variants in addition to the parent node. These must point to the real performance effects of the performance parts, as opposed to merely increasing the HAT values by a percentage (which seems to be later modified) Every one of these looks the same way, is the default, then is the default entry with '_h' appended, has '_a' appended, has '_t' appended. Pvehicle node for every car has transmission, brakes, chassis, tires, induction, engine. Nodes with 'smokeshow' are Dawndraft/Velocicom, i.e. Nodes with 'rails' are Richter/Ventura, i.e. Nodes with 'pistonhead' in their name are Norset/Ursa/etc.

Nodes with 'gearhead' in their node name are Gromlen/Medion/Transtek/etc., i.e. In performanceparts, 0xa9a278a9 field contains the name of the part manufacturer (check them under partmanufacturer).
