I love the math. Looks great. Now translate that into TORG math and you got
a winner. Otherwise...well too complicated. I'll import my car-wars game as
the charts are already there with no calculators needed.

Keep up the good work.

So now we have three answers: 


A) to find the total distance assuming that you land at the *same* level you
took off from:

RAMP INCLINE        SCN
5 or    85 degrees    use    0.09
10 or    80 degrees    use    0.17
15 or    75 degrees    use    0.25
20 or    70 degrees    use    0.32
25 or    65 degrees    use    0.38
30 or    60 degrees    use    0.43
35 or    55 degrees    use    0.47
40 or    50 degrees    use    0.49
45 degrees        use    0.5

Simply look up the degree of the ramp or incline above to plug in to the
formula:

(.2) times (Speed in m/s, squared) times (SCN factor from table) = total
horizontal distance

B) To find the total max height of the jump, use the quick cheat sheet
below:

RAMP INCLINE    RIF (Ramp Incline Factor = Sin(N))
5 degrees    use    0.09
10 degrees    use    0.17
15 degrees    use    0.26
20 degrees    use    0.34
25 degrees    use    0.42
30 degrees    use    0.50
35 degrees    use    0.57
40 degrees    use    0.64
45 degrees    use    0.71
50 degrees    use    0.77
55 degrees    use    0.82
60 degrees    use    0.87
65 degrees    use    0.91
70 degrees    use    0.94
75 degrees    use    0.97
80 degrees    use    0.98
85+degrees    use    1.00

... and use the formula: [(S*RIF)^2]/2 to get max jump height from liftoff
point.

Make sure that S, your ramp speed, is in meters/second.  If you are using a
ramp, add H, the ramp height to get the total height of jump.

C) And finally, to find the total complete distance jumped when taking off
at a higher level than you land, including the small bit extra, use:

0.1 * S*Cos(N) * [  [20H+([S*Sin(N)]^2)]^.5  +  S*Sin(N)  ]

Where S = ramp speed in m/s, H = ramp height in meters, N = ramp incline -
sorry, there is no cheat sheet for this one.

Enjoy.
