how about some "open Source" cars? (explanation in thread)
Re: how about some "open Source" cars? (explanation in threa
yeah, i'll also take a crack at anything, for now though, i know i open sourced my hatchi, but i went back and realized, the car is extremely crap. so i took a 2 door hatch version and i turbo'd the engine and now i've got a 1985 hot hatch somewhat. it is aimed at the track budget, but not scoring all too high, kinda expected it since i never really even explored the track market in general, so i kinda dove in blind. the result was the 1985 Hatchi SP, appears superior in many ways, better fuel economy, more than double the power, and can actually get up to speed now, making it sellable in north america, and with the low price tag, it is sure to catch on.
i'll also be making the engine open source, cause who wouldn't want to have some fun with a turbo 1.3L I4?
EDIT: big oopsie, forgot the car:

i went back several posts and found the GSI mole, i ended up making several tunes of it... including one in 2016 with a 350+HP 2.2L V12.... and it does green hell in 11 minutes.... with a top speed of 156... and also costs 1.1 million... so here it is... again.... GSI mole.... (i'm literally just tuning cars now lol, hey, that's an idea)

Lulz. I like how the V12 never stops spinning the tires.

ANOTHER EDIT: the 1st version, the engine was kinda bugged out, so i have fixed it, it also includes the aforementioned russian version
well, after the communitasia MKI had it's 10 year life cycle, galt knew their issues, so they tried their best to fix 'em. the result was 2 different trims, the R and the PR, each of which coming in a coupe, sedan, and a wagon. the extremely rare 1975 version badged as the tetrad as a turbocharged version of the communitasia for the gasmean markets. and sorry for lack of pics, it's 3:30 AM, so i present to you...
1970 Communitasia MKII
also, i find it strange the PR trim is better than the R in every way... oh well, i'll be waiting to see what you end up doing with it squidhead
also, this might be my last vehicle post for a while, windows is so unstable and so broken it's unusable, so i suppose i'll be waiting for a linux release (and before you ask, machine's not good enough for VM's and idk how to install steam games into wine)
EDIT: after watching james may's cars of the people program, i decided to add a bit of a story to this...
so it is 1970, the eastern block of germany is still a awful place, the USSR is all powerful, yet they look for cars,and galt happens to be one of the companies they turn to when looking for a new car maker for a good peoples car. galt, still being a relatively young company at just 25 years old, saw this as a chance to make some profit, so they went into the USSR and produced their own factory near moscow. the factory was soon complete and started to churn out communitasia's for the russian people. it was an instant success. cheap enough for a hard working family to purchase after saving for a little more than a year with it costing only REDACTED russian rubles for the sedan model, which allowed a person to become a proud new owner of a communitasia, it went over very well with galt experiencing enough success to finally get the resources to be a bigshot car producer by 1974, however later on that same year, communists being communists, took the russian galt factory for themselves and wound up making the communitasia on their own,the largest difference was that galt wasn't receiving a single penny of the russian sales, but at least they had enough to get the resources to start out large scale car production, which has since allowed them to grow to it's current position it is in today. as for the russian version, it managed to go on and continue to be a hit, in 1978, they managed to do a small facelift on the car, and it managed to stay in production from 1978 all the way to 2003, kept in production for 10 years after the collapse thanks to demand for a simple, cheap, rugged car.
ANOTHER EDIT: so another variation has been made, the OR trim (off-road). this one features the engine from out of the PR editions, but everything else is trim specific. the OR trim will only be available in sedan or wagon, and comes from the factory, a great off-road vehicle cheap enough for even a Mongolian nomad to purchase, along with being ruggid and dependable enough to help them cross the gobi desert, gone are the days of stubborn horses and lazy mules, just go to the nearest city and pick up a communitasia (download link has been amended)
man does the OR love to backfire

Oh god... my commu mk1 based car is producing exactly the same power, but chugs "the posh stuff" at the station only
Also that's modern rubles you're talking about. Back in USSR you could live for 55 rubles a month, and a good salary was about 125. You should correct for inflation... Although the game does not so I wouldn't know if you should.

That's cause "cold war" "Iron Curtain" buisness. Nothing was allowed from the "Rotting, broke west" into the "Glorious, happy and forever successful USSR"

You've spent a long, hard day firing useless employees (or executing dissidents), the ride back to your ivory palace should enjoyed in decadent luxury. The GSI Arlington Royale features smooth V12 power and heavy duty steel construction, perfect for plowing though crowds of annoying protesters without disturbing the occupants.

Use bunny blood to stick the fixtures to the car while chanting devilish mantras.
