WIP Beta released 1955 Burnside Suit 1.02

most cars were not synchronized by then, especially low end models. also it's beamng, we have already had a non synchroesh car, even if it was done via lua, and mine was just a suggstion/fun addition

 

what car wasn't synchronized? my uncle's cheap ass Plymouth was, and the last car to be non synchronized was in 76 i believe. bnut what i am saying is, it dosent matte because on a keyboard you cant double clutch

 

oh yes everone is using a keyboard, the best way to enjoy a driving simulator. i'm not hating on keyboard users but the would be a version with syncromesh. many cheap cars didn't have syncromesh, way into the 70s (just like you said). also gear-boxes in the 50s, if they had at all syncromesh, had crude sistems were you had to either shift slowly or double cluch

 

sorry i know most people use a wheel I'm just broke spending my money on irl cars lol so I cant afford one. You're right. i drove a 37 Pontiac before, 3 on the tree and i have to tell you double clutching is a pain in the ass. but experienced drivers just float on over the gears with the rev matching and what not

 

I don't know how to make a non synchromesh tranny, the closest thing I did was make the clutch pedal look like cheap plastic (just like how I made the other pedals lol), and make it have a clutch with shitty friction, an unnecessarily heavy flywheel (as if the car wasn't already slow enough lol), and have it lack overdrive, I hope that that's good enough for y'all, but any and all (constructive) feedback is greatly appreciated!

 

Slow ? that 313 V8 makes the Burnside fly, I once got that thing wound out to 120 mph. But heres my suggestion: Flathead V8 ?

 

naaah bro igu wit a 215cui i6 that's basically a slightly detuned, louder, and more polluting version of the moonhawk i6 (think of it like the 1951-54 Hudson Hornet, cuz i know that i6's weren't too common in American 50s cars, then again this is meant to be a snail, but u can put the the regular burnside engines in it too as well as those from any other mods you have (tho if they have a custom exhaust slot, you'd need to message me so I can make a custom exhaust for you that'll fit onto the mod engine you want it too, I'd just have to a bit of copy-pasting and renaming))

don't get me wrong tho, a flathead v8 doesn't sound bad at all, I just don't know enough blender to go as far as to make my own custom engine models (even the ported i6 was brought over from the DPMP config pack, ofc with the author's permission)

 

Burnside Fursuit

 

Nah In the early '50s in cars like this (trim level wise) I6's were very common, in both ohv and flathead configurations so its certainly not out of place. Now regarding the V8 situation: why not just make a detuned version or smaller version of the current 313, then get the models from the bluebuck and just simply add them on for each part, like when you select the standard two barrel carb it'll show the current aircleaner, when you select the four barrel (perhaps standard on police cars) it'll show the bluebuck four barrel aircleaner. same with the exhaust manifold (if you do that option it'll be also good on police cars), standard is the current mesh/model (or whatever its called) then the extractors would be from the bluebuck. Maybe when selecting blocks, the engine will look the same but the colours will be different, Example: Block will be black as usual but the valve covers will be gold (or some other contrasting colour) and maybe some kind of wording on the valve covers, like "Golden Streak" or some other '50s futuristic name

If you want to go down that route

 

The Hudson i6 was actually the biggest american i6 built at the time and, with the optional dual carbs (the twin h power), it got more than 200hp on some years. also in standars form it was as powerful as the buick straight 8 and more powerful than the ford flathead

 

Flathead V8 was only (I still giggle at this) made... Wait for it... Here it comes... A massive mountain moving 100 of firebreathing horsepower !

 

brace yourself because by 1953, the last year of production it pulled out a hair pulling, teeth smashing, baby scaring 106 hp

 

On another note, the Chevrolet Bel Air also made, and MIND BOGGLING AND TESTOSTERONE BOOSTING, 92 Horsepower from its 3.5L i6.

 

yes but that's a six cylinder, not a V8 so that actually quite reasonable... for a Stovebolt six anyways as Plymouths Flathead six in the early '50s made 100hp so it (barely) outdid both cars, in the last iterations of 1959 (I think) it made 136hp. Pretty damn impressive for a flathead so yeah

 

that looks fantastic! can't wait

 

my friend's boxer 4 subaru makes more horsepower than an inline 12 lmao. we've come a long way.. I cant wait for this mod.

 

so true loool. 1924 - giant 22 ton 110hp engine
2020, inline 4 in most generic cars make about 150 or something

edit: yes i know the torque will be different but still

 

Yeah. But the inline 12 is still cooler. And hot rod worthy.

 

since when did a (true one at least) hot rodder use straight 12s ? almost unheard of, if you didn't have a v8 or in the least a triple carb'd I6 then you weren't a hot rodder, greaser, bodgie or anyone, you'd just be that weirdo on the corner with a car thats barely competitive against a stock Model 18 Ford

 

Well then you don't know my great uncle (dad's side) then. He had to cut his drive line and stuffed the engine into the passenger bay. He wasn't the brightest and his car wasn't the fastes lol

But yeah most had v8's v12's or Inline 8's (specially the Lincoln v12.) I'm saving up for a shitty 30's or 40'd clunker to hot rod. I just found a few under $5000. Or I might get a stock 50's something or other idk

And the trans was a whole nother issue

Plus he used whatever he found. It's awhile story, I don't want to junk up the forum, just dm me if you want to hear about it
