Re: Brake Cooling

Classic example of what happens when you miss something in your gameflow! :D
Its still a beta version though and things like that occur so now and then. But atleast we all have race-ready brakes like the Znopresk hahaha!

Re: Brake Cooling

yea even my eco box fars were max sliders on the braking haha, 120hp, 0-60 in 19 seconds and braking cooling even a Aventador would be jealous of. :lol:

Re: Brake Cooling

Right! Lesson learned, we need to explain the cooling sliders way better.

Can anyone think of a nice short name for that slider that explains it's the percentage of cooling you're stealing for the brakes?

Re: Brake Cooling

I don't blame anyone, including myself, for doing those.

They give better tameness and sportiness for a small decrease in fuel economy. Seemed like a fair deal to me.

Re: Brake Cooling

I think the list of folk who haven't used brake cooling would be shorter :S

Perhaps "Brake Divert" ?

Re: Brake Cooling

or just do a thing like with the cam shafts the higher it is the more RACE it is and the lower it is the more ECO it is or however youd like it worded. Even at that im sure we would have caught the hint lol.

I'll suggest "Brakes extra cooling"
So automatically the reader knows that the brakes are already cooled and this is an extra.

Re: Brake Cooling

I would say something like: Additional Brake Cooling
but I'm afraid that is too long

Re: Brake Cooling

Nah, it's not that bad: yes it is supposed to be sports and race cars only, but you're choosing it because there is almost no drawback. This is because we have not implemented engineering time yet. If you'd see how your choice of added brake cooling basically doubles the engineering time for your eco shitbox, then you wouldn't move that one tick above zero. While we can and should explain this better, right now just go for it as you'd be stupid not to :)

Re: Brake Cooling

:o

Suddenly it all makes sense!

Then again I've never really made a "family friendly car" like, ever, so I wouldn't know the difference. I just increased cooling until I reached 10% tameness bonus for brake fade, which appeared to be the max. Definitely will see how calculated engineering time fixes this!

(Also if that's the case can we de-limit the number of wings and lips used? I like building cars that take an eternity to develop :P )
