Dragcoefficient of some Ai cars
Lately I stumbled over some weird Ai specs like a 36HP car that can run 155km/h in 1910 while my 100Hp couldnt run that fast (around 120 as I remember). And I was curious how da f... they can build such cars. So I started Sqlite and took a look in the carspecs.

There are a few cardesigns that have an incredible good dragcoeffizent like 0,26 even in the year 1900. Maybe its supposed to be so but I think 0,26 is a way to good for 1900.
Nothing to say against a few Ais that sticks out of the usually 0,7-0,8 that all other can reach at that time but 0,26 is even for a modern car a great dragcoefficent.

So I am not entirely sure thats a bug but it seems not right in my opinion.

They should be using premade designs that are also available to the player. If you shoot me over the save game, I can dig through and see which one is the culprit. Maybe someone modded a car file they gave me. :)

The best available Predesign 1900 is my own with a dragcof of 0,69....
You can just start a fresh game, in every game there are a few who stands out with the dragcof.

It's much easier for me if you zip up, email, and tell me which car to look at. I get a very limited amount of time during the weekdays to work on the game (11pm to 4am) and then have to try to cram 30-40 hours into working between 11pm friday and 7pm Sunday. The more time I spend trying to recreate issues in save games, the less work gets done sadly.

Any way, I will ticket the issues and try to replicate it when I get around to working on bugs.

ok I will send you a file with my testsave, its a fresh save anyway but I will name you all cars with the outstanding dragcof. Just to spare your time! ;-)
