The heart of the model is the slip characteristics (picture below).

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.

However it is more CPU load intensive then the Pacha one. This can produce low

frame rates for the screen display. Hence OR automatically sense the CPU load,

and switches to the Pacha algorithim at high loads and to the Polach algorithim

under lower CPU loads.
