To the engine designer: nothing... in case you haven't noticed yet, it's feature complete (not content complete though).

Re: ideas for manual test mode

Personally I'm really looking forward to more options in boosting engines...super chargers, more turbo options as well as more exhaust manifold/header options.
I'd love to be able to replicate my 406 small block and rb26dett. With the current tools I haven't been able to come close to the V8 without failing problems or falling short in power and torque and the I6 has twin turbos so I can't do that yet either. Wankel rotary engines would be insane but that would be difficult to pull off as it would probably need its own engine builder. It would also be weird to teach people about them considering they are technically torqueless engines. I'm well aware that this isn't going to be in the game but is being considered as a possible add-on if the game is successful.


What would you like added?

Re: ideas for manual test mode

I personally would like to see a fuel flow indicator or gauge in liters per hour. Is the bit I think that could be added.

Re: ideas for manual test mode

yeah I could see that coming in useful to check if the fuel consumption isnt too great or not although it already does that in the display after the engine test...but it would be good to see a gauge showing it as the Revs increase

Re: ideas for manual test mode

I really like the idea of the fuel flow indicator especially since I find the economy part of the dyno test to be sorta confusing. I'm sure that the car designer will include a similar mechanic that will factor in the transmission, gear ratios, weight, and aerodynamics to give a more accurate economy rating.
