Re: operating temp

What gameplay purpose would that serve exactly? Apart from wasting people's time, of course.
The added immersion would be killed by the negative effects of that. We may add a temperature measurement for the car+engine though, as that makes more sense.

Re: operating temp

will what i was kind of think is the engine sats would change with heat so you make sure your body was getting the air not to overheat the engine

Re: operating temp

Getting enough vents and/or holes in your cardesigner body will already influence heat on the engine. This has been described by the developers in an earlier post which I've read. Don't know which one exactly though, but it's there.

Re: operating temp

Re: operating temp

overheating WILL be an issue, but in the car designer, not in the engine designer.
