Uhh, to clarify I meant 50 prod units/man hours on each part, not altogether, sorry for not making that clear! *facedesk*

[Jakgoe]

So 50 for the engine, and 50 for the car? That still seems low.

You win.

Does it? I kinda based that off an Inline 6 cylinder engine I made one time that had over 700 horsepower and only used like 40 prod units. Just play with the quality sliders.

[nialloftara]

The engine was easy I've just gotta bring the platform down to 50 hours now, glad that's all cleared up now. Ill have to revise my picture that car had somethibg like 3000 hours

[Jakgoe]

The engine limit is slightly low, 80-100 seems reasonable, and perhaps 150 for the car.

[Reaper392]

A max speed contest? count me in

*edit*
Just to check, the production time in the whole car test includes the engine, so you want that to be a maximum of 50 higher than the engine I assume
also, does the reliability matter at all? I assume everyone has been doing their preliminary runs with all the cooling turned down to 0

[Lothoren]

Correct no cooling, and limit is 50 for the engine, 50 for the chassis for a total of 100.


I am quite surprised as to how fast the cars actually run, despite the low quality

You'll have to revise a bit more than that
(assuming the Bonneville track hasn't been changed since I downloaded it that is)



since it will be quite hard to distinguish between two similar speeds, would it be worth going for the fastest sector 3 time at bonneville. Unless its changed, sector 3 should be the last mile of the track if we arent going for theoretical top speed

What? I only want the engine to have a max of 50 hours and the platform to have another 50 hours.

Ok, this is the FINAL day to enter, I haven't seen applications from anyone except Nialloftara, so PLEASE message me using the application format and please attach your platform and car.

[nialloftara]

Even mine is not valid, the engine has 50 hours but the car has 300. I'll shoot a revised platform to you in about 14 hours after I get back from work.

What I mean is that in the screen where you test the entire car, the number it shows for production units includes the production units of the engine (I tested this late last night). So, if the engine only took 30 hours, the maximum production units allowed in the test for the car should be 80. (50 for the car + 30 for the engine = 80 in total)

*edit*
You might want to make it clear in the OP that you are accepting the cars now. I thought you were just wanting people to say whether they were entering the competition, and would be accepting cars later

[Microwave]

Nah, just record them individually, not together, it might be different because of engine application and stuff.
