Re: Adapt or die [submissions]

yes this one (fuel cost*12000/mpg+emissions*10+(total cost/(rel/5))+service)

Yes those are square roots, and the weightings are after the square roots.

Re: Adapt or die [submissions]

I wanna say that I want to join but part of me is unsure about it on one end.

On another...I may give it a shot regardless...and see how badly I'll crash and burn, namely in emissions, but that's a ramble I'll leave for later...maybe.

Figuring things out is in my opinion more than half the fun. I get slaughtered regularly, but have fun doing it. :)

Me too since I have NO idea how to setup a suspension so I stick with the presets.

Re: Adapt or die [submissions]

Give it a shot, worst case you learn something. ;)

I'm not far from using presets, just trial and error for me on suspension settings.

Re: Adapt or die [submissions]

Yep, and even if a setting gives you "green" numbers it doesnt mean it is actually faster on the track.

Re: Adapt or die [submissions]

especially when the green numbers are due to increasing top speed when you cant get going that fast on the track.

Luckily this competition doesn't take that into account.

Re: Adapt or die [submissions]

Another couple of questions;

1) Can we submit the same car (and trim) for two different categories?

2) Are there any limits on quality?

Re: Adapt or die [submissions]

With how much I have learned from my submission to now. I think I would have completely different cars. I still look forward to the result.

Re: Adapt or die [submissions]

yes you can submit the same car for multiple categories

No there is no limit on what quality you use, keep in mind higher quality means higher cost.

Re: Adapt or die [submissions]

I'm gonna see if I can have something ready by tonight or early morning tomorrow...but I can't promise.

I'll just say...much as emissions are important...I'm going to take some penalties in exchange for costs and better fuel economy...while still running regular unleaded.

Would it be alright to submit multiple cars with say, different trims, such as specific fuel types?
