Car Manager Crashes When Engine Revs Past 8100 RPM

[WildKarrde]

So, I was messing around with the fastest (impractical) car competition, and found out I needed to raise my rev limiter to increase my top speed. I revised my engine, and brought it up from 6000 to 8500 RPM, but every time I tried to adjust my top speed the game would crash. Not content to go to sleep at the perfectly unreasonable time of 4:00am... I decided I had to figure out why.

Turns out, the highest RPM's I can go with this particular engine is 7600 for optimal HP and TQ. From 7600 - 8100 I received no further HP or TQ, but increased my MTBF, and the engine would work in the car fine. At 8200RPM I still experienced an increase in my MTBF during testing mode, but after I equipped it into my car and tried to adjust my top speed the game crashed. I've replicated this numerous times, and created a short YouTube video to show what happens. When the video abruptly ends, that's when the game crashed. Hope this helps.

The video can only be accessed through this link, as I don't generally make bug reports public on my channel:

Just a small tip: Topics like this should be put in the 'Support' area of the forum.

Kewl, wasn't sure which section to put it in. The vid is up now though.

You need stronger conrods to hold Automation together at that RPM..

In all seriousness, I've passed this bug onto Zeussy to look into

Could you also post your engine(s) as attachments. They are found in My Docs\Automation\Engines cheers

The 8.0L is the only engine I've broke the game with. It's currently at the settings that broke the game. I've included the car model and chassis as well, just in case that'll help.
