less drive train snap and vehicles stalling

i think it would be cool if the vehicles drive train would snap less, and they could stall. right now it is "car hits wall" "drive train snaps" it would be cool if they could stall and the drive train would be a lot more tough. this is ESPECIALLY true for demo derbys! it would suck if every big hit was a broken drive train... just my $0.02

 

That is changeable. But I doubt you're going to drive away from smashing into a wall.. This is a physics simulator, not a arcade demo derby.

 

Yeah, gameplay balancing comes later when there is some gameplay to balance.

 

That does not change fact that drivetrain is heavy long and tough pipe or even sometimes solid beam that supose to resist to very high amount of physical overload tht even high speed crash cant break it. of course the cardan conections can be darmaged but never broken. Trust me im an engeenier also pardon me my english

 

In a wreck you would easily break driveshafts, axle shafts, axle pinions, bend axles, damaged wheels/tires, broken wheel studs... It would not be able to drive away.. You can't spell engineer so I doubt you are one. Although myself and darthcain are both engineering students...

 

Hmm, I've had many offline demo derbys with the ai mod/hack and I've never snapped a driveshaft yet

 

how do you get the ai mod/hack?!?!

 

the snapping comes because the engine and trans are pushed back toward the rear diff and the drive shaft happens to be in between them. I don't think demo derby crashes are generally fast enough to do that

 

You won't just drive away from a crash, you drive train would snap, your fuel/oil tanks would leak and so on.

 

you are totally right but now its like "i will make this pencil dissapear" boom ITS GONE !!

 

If you press q three times after the drive shaft snaps you can drive again.
