Exclamation NxGTR Sim: Free online car performance simulator

Hello everybody and special greeting to all members,
I am Carlos, computer engineer and I have been a car enthusiast since I can remember, I have been working on a physics model to simulate car performance behavior of almost any regular street car that you could imagine.

Finally I have been able to code all that math stuff into a software you can test online, no install required, its fully online

I have been into forums for a few years by now and I understand some forums see this kind of post as “give me traffic” posts, I would not like to be tagged as that, so I recorded some youtube videos to give you an overall project view without visit my page at all.

This project is still under constant development, since there is still too much things to do, and as anyone else I cannot know it all, so maybe somebody here could share some advanced knoledge about car dynamics and all together can improve it

Here are the youtube videos I am talking about, sadly I dont have a microphone so I had to recorded my voice at my cellphone and to make it a bit worst I dont speak english as my native language, but I am sure they are good for the overall showcase purpose, both parts in total are 25 minutes long aprox.

PART 1:

PART 2:


Some Screenshoot:





If after watching the youtube videos you really get a bit interested you can try it by yourself at NxGTR Sim www.nxgtrsim.com

Thank you very much everybody for reading, hope somebody could provide a little feedback.

I could be the tire traction algorithm, maybe you are getting more traction than the system is calculating, there is some advanced parameters to control this, it could even be your rims weight, or intertia.

How much are you getting at real life? how much the sim tells you?

I am gonna upgrade your account to PROs, it will let you move more things, and shift manualy, that could help too, because, regular shifting method is optimized for top speed time, not 0-60 time.

As a pro user, you can use the Beta or Alpha edition, Beta is more stable and recomended, but both editions will let you play more in depht as a Pro user.

Thanks. Its fun program. I was trying to dial car in to what it runs I am going to need to run it with wider tires and lower HP to try and get low 11s @ at 125 to 126mph.. program gettin 11.5 @ 130 now.. was 11.6 @ 128 at one point. I'll play with the shifting didnt touch that..
