Scenario "Super 2000 Rally": HOW?

[autofrank]

Nice job! Ok, I just have to boast: I scored 1101.

I don't get it. I've done everything I know how, and can't get more than 230hp. How can a 2000cc engine make 280+ hp without the turbo? I'm sure it's possible IRL, but in automation I can't find a way.

- I just realized you're using an older version of Automation. I got it, but can't beat bronze. I bet if you tried it with the latest version, your engine would not make platinum again.

Try using 2x baffled mufflers, spending the weight on more bore and less stroke and setting the RPM limit to 8500. And use as much fuel as you can and spend RON/AKI on Ignition Timing first (set it to 100) and then the rest on Compression. 5 Valves per Cylinder should be a big improvement, too.

1193 PLATINUM!! ... but seriously, somebody tell me how 2 take a pic including all the stats and stuff...

Either you play the game in window mode, then the standard print screen works, or you can use a third party screenshot program.

know any good screenshot program? I've already tried print screen...

Well, if you have Windows 7 it has the excellent Snipping Tool inbuilt, if not then SnagIt is pretty decent.

So how do i take a pic when im on automation... with google chrome microsoft word and a load of other programs it works fine. But I can't keep it open while i'm on it :/

[Der Bayer]

Do you run Automation in windowed mode?

[09webbad]

honestly... i don't know... but i do know that i cannot take a picture *sigh*

EDIT: It would be nice to show my engine... I managed to squeeze 1209 points

Well, windowed mode means when you have the windows bar at the top with a close button on it etc, and you can still see your start menu etc.

[09webbad]

Nope... no windows bar or anything... how do i change it??

[Der Bayer]

Uncheck the Checkbox "Fullscreen" in the Options menu in the Automation Launcher.

Cheers Der Bayer... And this is what we've all been waiting for!!...

My take on the super 2000, could play a bit more around with bore/stroke, but this gave me platinium

OK these suggestions made "gold," but really...
