Warping the body changes the aerodynamics

I find it quite annoying the when you warp the body it dosen`t change the weight and/or the aero. Will this be added later?

Re: Warping the body changes the aerodynamics

Weight does change if you morph something that changes the length of the body.

As for morphing affecting changing aerodynamics, that would be quite complicated to do as would have to integrate some fluid dynamics simulations in the game.

Re: Warping the body changes the aerodynamics

While that would be very interesting, I'm not sure if it would be great for gameplay or not: it would limit your design choices quite a bit because it means there is "a best solution" to deforming every body. That potentially destroys gameplay quite a bit! Something to consider :)

Re: Warping the body changes the aerodynamics

And, I would like to add to that: It's not a car simulation game. It's a car tycoon game. As Killrob carefully explained, you simply have to draw a line somewhere and I think eventhough I find it really interesting myself, this shouldn't be ingame.
