no. of tyres Here the number of wheels is indicated, for passenger cars generally 4, for trucks sometimes more (attention: twin tyres has to be considered here).
drive train efficency map no. Each drive train has an efficiency map which is defined by the number of train map. The accompanying file fzstr'x'.data' has to be modified with an editor, which is offered by the midnight-commander.

MoI turbine inertia moment of the turbine side of a hydrodynamic converter with an automatic transmission in [kgm²]
MoI clutch inertia moment of the clutch with a manual transmission in in [kgm²]
MoI cardan shaft inertia moment of the cardan shaft in [kgm²]
MoI differential inertia moment of the differential in [kgm²]
MoI half shaft inertia moment of the half shaft (=drive shaft) in [kgm²]
