09:20:31 <andythenorth> _pruple: probably FIRS did it
13:02:31 *** gelignite has quit IRC (Quit: Stay safe!)
13:09:40 <LordAro> andythenorth: defo firs
13:23:02 <peter1138> I hate that average speed drops so quickly :S
14:32:47 <_jgr_> Had to cut short my ride today, technical difficulties...
14:32:49 *** XYZ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
14:33:30 <_jgr_> More time for OpenTTD I suppose
14:33:44 <peter1138> That is less than optimal.
15:09:31 <andythenorth> what occurred to that tyre?
15:24:22 <johnfranklin> What's your average speed of cycling, without gearbox, on 0 degree steepness, and with no traffic light?
15:24:34 <peter1138> None of my bicycles have a gearbox.
15:24:47 <peter1138> They all have derailleur gears though.
15:25:46 <peter1138> (And a single-speed bike still has a gear ratio)
15:25:48 <andythenorth> mine have gearboxes
15:26:05 <johnfranklin> I can only do at most 15 on average in those conditions
15:26:38 <andythenorth> I usually cycle at about 23 mph ish
15:26:58 <andythenorth> no, I have 400% motor assist
15:27:01 <johnfranklin> That is nearly my max speed
15:27:12 <peter1138> 15 km/h is barely going.
15:28:25 <johnfranklin> I think I can only do 40 km/h on decline with low gear ratio (low gear ratio = higher max speed = lower acceleration, IIRC)
15:28:56 <andythenorth> hmm that 400% is overstated
15:29:00 <peter1138> 34 km/h today for me, but that was not flat (not very hilly but not flat either) and also with a bunch of other riders.
15:29:17 <andythenorth> the high end current bosch line has 340% assist on highest mode
15:29:21 <andythenorth> mine is 5 years old
15:29:23 <johnfranklin> You have speedometer?
15:29:29 <peter1138> Normally "high gear ratio" refers to the highest gears.
15:29:46 <johnfranklin> I can only estimate
15:30:06 <johnfranklin> Oh, so it should be high gear ratio, 3/8
15:30:12 <andythenorth> I've clipped 50 mph coming off a hill
15:30:24 <andythenorth> quite sketchy on small tyres and a bouncy front fork
15:31:09 <andythenorth> the assist doesn't work past a certain speed, so it was mostly gravity
15:31:21 <peter1138> I have a lot of gravity power at the moment.
15:31:30 <johnfranklin> What is assist? E-bikes?
15:31:39 <andythenorth> I would never go back
15:31:57 <peter1138> No use if you want to so 65 miles at 20 mph 🙂
15:33:05 <peter1138> In the MTB world E-MTB works better, cos you're generally going slower anyway.
15:33:31 <peter1138> And cargo bikes. They're good with electric assist.
15:33:54 <andythenorth> hmm yeah mine is 340% assist, bike shop said it was 400% but that's the cargo bike motor
15:33:57 <andythenorth> mine is not that
15:34:08 <peter1138> And for people who just want to get from A to B, assist is good for them too.
15:34:27 <peter1138> If you're putting out 500W, 400% assist would need to be 2KW?
15:36:04 <peter1138> E-assist is meant to top out at 250W
15:36:47 <peter1138> For UK EAPC regulations that is.
15:37:01 <andythenorth> might be software regulated
15:37:04 <andythenorth> they're 250W continuous
15:37:45 <andythenorth> TBH for performance around town it's the torque that's most fun
15:38:04 <andythenorth> there is a brief lag - half a pedal rotation
15:38:09 <andythenorth> then it's max torque
15:38:34 <andythenorth> mine does really well on mountain bike jump track
15:38:46 <andythenorth> even though it's 25 KG and has no rear suspension
15:38:55 <andythenorth> no airtime, but it just climbs the jumps
15:40:02 <andythenorth> (the jump track is very small)
15:40:25 <peter1138> I don't do jumps, I'm too old and don't want to break myself :p
15:41:53 <johnfranklin> In China e-bikes are overwhelming popular.
15:42:49 <johnfranklin> They are like e-motorbikes more. Even no padding these days.
15:44:01 *** Tirili has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
15:46:34 <andythenorth> twist-and-go is silly on a bike
15:50:16 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
15:52:56 <peter1138> How can I make SVG look better?
16:03:08 <peter1138> Something like that.
16:07:40 <peter1138> Seems to have warmed up.
16:09:24 <andythenorth> I have been in the outside
16:15:33 <peter1138> Hmm, I guess I want a version of the steam. diesel and electric icons in SVG form...
17:38:56 *** Extrems has joined #openttd
18:26:05 <audigex> noholo scaling in GIMP plus vectormagic.com gives these
18:26:22 <audigex> Gotta pay for the actual SVGs but I reckon with some tweaking that might give something viable
20:13:20 <peter1138> I wonder if any town set actually uses PersistentStorage.
20:19:28 <andythenorth> I was going to use it in FIRS
20:21:45 <_pruple> I use it, for the population growth limiting and, in the future, for powerplant supply etc.
20:24:30 <andythenorth> I would use it if there were regions 😛
20:27:24 *** nielsm has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
21:20:03 *** Flygon has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
21:34:57 <andythenorth> I would do electricity and stuff
21:35:16 <andythenorth> or industry location stuff
21:50:33 <_pruple> peter1138: yes, since I limit growth by %/year, I have to store the town population at the start of each year to compare the current pop against when deciding whether to allow the town to grow.
21:51:21 <_pruple> or more specifically, allowing a building to be built
21:54:29 *** Wolf01 has quit IRC (Quit: Once again the world is quick to bury me.)
