A list of suggestions

Hi.
This is my list of suggestions:

1. The weight of axles depends of material which is maked (the ability to change the material like the body). Example: A McPherson strut, in steel weights in total 45 kg, but in Titanium (like 90's F1) weights 15 kg, and have better specs.

2. Select the options (unlockables) like the option to put Airbags in 80s-90s or Xenon, Bi-Xenon, LEDs or LaserLights (http://www.car-engineer.com/wp-content/ ... jpg?f39b92) in option, close-package or serie (selectable like, for example, the basic version can't have, either option, GPS, automatic gearbox...).

3. RGB body colour (and the option to select: matte, pearlescent, iridiscent, metalised, pastel, glossy...).

4. Paint individual parts of body (like Bugatti Veyron).

5. The cut of doors can be customized to improve or don't improve the passenger access (reflected in the comfort).

6. Magnesium engine header (exists: BMW have this in his Straight-6).

7. Add the cooling system (water with radiator, thermo-siphon, water-cooled...).

8. Water intercooler (with this difference: http://www.enginebasics.com/Advanced%20 ... ooler1.jpg
http://site.titanmotorsports.com/blog/w ... 1_1024.jpg) Brands like BMW or Nissan uses this).

9. Select the seats materials, dash materials...

10. The individual suspension axles is the better for Off-road (look Dakar or WRC cars).

11. The brakes material (carbon brakes for supercars, aluminum for small cars...).

12. In the future, with the superchargers, the ability to but both (TSI of VW): the supercharger works in all RPM'S, but the turbo works when the exhaust gases had the power to move the turbine at high-mid RPM).

13. In AWD, the ability or option to put a differential lock.

14. Add the system Cylinder of Demand (disconnect with the camshafts a selected number of cylinders when the engine isn't working full). This system is used in VAG group (inclusive Bentley, a brand of VAG group), and is called Cylinder of Demand or COD.

Re: A list of suggestions

1, 2, 5, 9, 11 are mostly stuff that is covered under the quality sliders. You can call it whatever you want in your head but its effects will be the same.
3. Is under consideration
4. Isn't, but might be done post release as a mod
6. Can't see it making much different
7, 8 too specific a request to take the time away from other parts of the game. At most maybe a cooling quality slider to show different radiator material or multi cored ones.
10. Once again too specific, there are on road, off road, and in betweens of each type. a camaro and a jeep both have solid axles but very different capabilites.
12. Also talked about but if it happens its a long way off. ( also their term is twincharge, tsi is for turbo direct injection. )
13. Too specific with too little gain.
14. This one I wouldn't mind seeing, displacement on demand is also a system used by the Chrysler group, but maybe as a post release add-on. I wouldn't want to see other parts delayed for it.

Re: A list of suggestions

About 9, the idea is to make the interior designer indepth, but simple at the same time. This is already covered by the packages. For example, basic would get you cloth seats, plastic dash, while handcrafted gets heated and cooled semi-aniline seats, and a full leather wrapped dash with lacquered veneer highlights.

Re: A list of suggestions

whoops right, totally forgot the package lists. 2 is also partially covered by the safety package options. At least the airbag example.

Hey, interesting ideas, I've gone through and given some answers :)



1. Bit too complex. Not enough UI space. Quality of suspension already effects that IIRC.

2. Do you mean customer chosen options or...?

3. Planned

4. Not possible with the way we do fixture stamping into the car body.

5. May be possible to tie body morphing of the doors to a stat, will look into that.

6. Maybe, but very rare, is a low priority compared to other things.

7. Only interesting design descision here is air-cooled or water cooled. Our prefered way of dealing with cooling system design is just to force you to feed enough air to the radiator.

8. Requires a different intake manifold model for every single engine and fuel system. Will have seperate W2A intercooler instead.

9. Interior materials will be selectable

10. Not sure what sort of suspension you're talking about?

11. Yes, Steel and Carbon Ceramic for sure.

12. Eventually maybe. Would be interesting for sure.

13. Yes

14. Probably later on.

Re: A list of suggestions

New suggestion:

1. In the cabriolets, the capability to select the roof material (carbo, metal, fabric or textile......), system (hydraulic-electrical, manual)...
2. In the test track, ¿why the cars can't drift a llitle?
3. Add (In option or serial in the car model) a sunroof.

1. Yes
2. Really hard to do with the way the sim works.
3. Maybe
