Re: Rod to Stroke Ratio

Excellent post kyle, I appreciate the how you make a proper argument for the importance of the rod to stroke ratio! You do convince me that it's an important factor, and I'm sure the developers are convinced as well.

This would definitely be considered feature-creep though, and feature-creep is the downfall of small and big development teams. Daffy and Zeussy know well enough that they (sadly) need to ignore the calls for more detail - which can be frustrating both to them and the ones calling. The game needs to be finished, and the features which will be included are set in stone for the release version already... it will be hard enough to actually get all those out.

If the game has success and our devs can make a living off it, I can imagine that their drive for such a technical feature would not stop them including it in an "Automation 1.5" DLC or "Automation 2" release :) But first things first ;)

Re: Rod to Stroke Ratio

Re: Rod to Stroke Ratio

I am pretty sure it will be considered for future releases :) if Camshaft Software does not go casual at least xD j/k
Still a bit too early for a 2.0 feature wish-list I guess. But It'll be one of the first threads I'll create once the game is released haha ;)

Don't let this "blocking" stop you from posting/contributing, kyle, this community needs people (like you) who know more about cars than the average Joe and can put this knowledge into words in an appropriate way!
