257- The heart of the model is the slip characteristics (picture below).
257+ The advanced adhesion model uses two alternate algorithims to calculate the
258+ wheel adhesion. The first model is based upon an algorithim by Pacha, whilst the second
259+ uses an algorithim developed by Polach. The Polach algorithim provides
260+ a more accurate outcome and facilitates the future inclusion of track conditions.
261+ However it is more CPU load intensive then the Pacha one. This can produce low
262+ frame rates for the screen display. Hence OR automatically sense the CPU load,
263+ and switches to the Pacha algorithim at high loads and to the Polach algorithim
264+ under lower CPU loads.
