Nah, thats a V16 we've got - no W engines yet

that will do. so long as I can put 8 turbochargers on it and be even more derpier than a veyron.

oh, no chance.

It would be funny if the game would get into the seedier side of car manufacturing.

Admittingly I don't know what that is... but I assume it exists.

[LoSboccacc]

seedier? what seedier means?
but hey, there are plants.

Underhanded and/or illegal.

Awesome. Can't wait to try to put together 1,000hp monsters.

The seedier sides of car manufacturing are knowingly using inferior(cheaper) materials that may compromise quality/safety and also the practice of falsifying government tests or bribing officials.

I agree that these concepts would be a great addition and only require a small amount of coding to add, but would obviously require testing and balance adjustments.

[LoSboccacc]

There is sonething like that in the demo videos, modelled as running costs For designs that cut corners here and there. Don't know about factories and side effects of running low quality shops.

It would e interesting both to have a reputation hit (confirmed to an extent to be in the game) and forced recall campaigns for extreme cases (status unknown) and lawsuits because you cant really talk car sim without a good class action here and there (half joking now, guess won't be there)

Lets not forget Union Busting and moving the plants to Mexico and such, that'd be fun!

[LoSboccacc]

I've heard that outsourcing plants it's there, each state with pros and cons.

[daffyflyer]

well, the demo video where they broke the engine seemed on the right track. also I've noticed that every trial added upon the 'hours' parameter so failure is modelled within the game rules

Not sure what you mean about the "Hours" perameter, if you're refering to manhours, thats talking about how long it takes to build the engine you've designed.


But yes, there are certinally engines you can design that will just plain old explode on the test stand!

[LoSboccacc]

no design/test cost for failures in the campaign?

[daffyflyer]

no design/test cost for failures in the campaign?

Not as yet, but you will be wasting time, as time still goes by whilst testing.


Not sure if there will be a failure cost or not, we haven't finalized a lot of the business side

[hemmingjay]

Had to throw my money at you guys to support this. Forced induction v16 engines ftw!

We've now got some scenarios for the engine designer demo, plus some UI improvments

[LoSboccacc]

ahah I spot with my little eye a scenario beginning with..
