USDMFTWs Car Reviewing(Update on last post)
This will be another car reviewing thread in a similar format to the already current thread started by cheeseman over a year ago. Your car will be given a score, out of 10, with 10 being the best in multiple categories. Scoring for each category will be calculated using various in game statistics, real world comparisons and reviewer opinion.
At the time of this post, the calculations are not finalized and they may change, I will note when they change.
The categories that each car will be scored on the following:
Driveability - How easy the car is to drive, and how well it drives in various conditions, as well as other general powertrain characteristics that affect the driveability of the car.
Performance - Acceleration and braking characteristics, as well as other general powertrain characteristics that affect the performance of the car.
Handling - How well the car does around corners.
Comfort - How well the car handles road imperfections and other effects.
Interior Quality - How luxurious and the general quality of the interior space.
Aesthetics - How well does the car look( Do note, this is purely a reviewer opinion section and this section has ZERO effect on the cars total score).
Safety - How well the car can withstand a crash, how well it can protect occupants and how well it can prevent accidents with technology.
Cost - How much the car cost, i will give the calculation for the cost as it is specific and may effect the design choices.
The cost is calculated by multiplying the in-game total cost by two, multiplying the in-game production units by 50 and last, multiplying the in-game yearly service cost by 5.
Reliability - Self explanatory.
These categories will be weighted based on the class of the car.
How to submit your car: Entries are being accepted.
Before you submit your car, make sure that the car does not have edited lua files and if any mods are used they must be 100% working and from the steam workshop or automation forums, me and other reviewers will not download mods from any other website or mods submitted as an attachment with the car. Make sure the mods versions are correct and current with the steam workshop or automation forums, if your car does not work for a reviewer the first time, the submitter can resubmit the corrected car. If you car fulfills those requirements, then send your car to me, USDMFTW as an attachment through the message system on these forums. Make sure you include each file needed, the engine family and variant, the car family and trim, easiest way is to use the games export function.
Further information about mods
If you have previously installed trackpadusers v2.0 modpack, please update your modpack and manually remove the mods that were taken out in v3.0.
There are no cost restrictions or quality slider restrictions, but those design decisions will be reflected in the review. Nor is there any restriction on the model year of the car, but try to be realistic with the car.
