The title might be confusing, but this is what I mean. Yesterday, there was an accident in the burnley tunnel here in melbourne. A guys rear tire fell off. My brother was right behind that car, I was not far behind with my mum. I thought it would be neat, if we could loosen the bolts on the tires so that when we drive the tires can fall off when we turn. I like the idea myself, what do you guys think?
Not sure I'm following, but you meant the wheels right? I don't know if it's such a good idea though. Sure it's fun for stunts or wrecking cars, but I don't think it's worth the effort in creating it. If you want the wheels to come off, just make them come off more easily
Perhaps someone could code a slider to change beam strength or whatever in the beams connecting the car to the wheels. It would have to be custom for each mod though, meaning it probably only be worth doing on the official mods.
I'm sure Greenpeace would love to attend. OT: Wheels can come off in the current version, but its usually caused by the tires "snagging" on the terrain.
haha just posted the entire contents of my beta group here by mistake XD sorry for the random comment but i had to put something else here
Driving with 4 bolts instead of 5 doesn't make the wheels come off either. 3 would probably work too, but it's pushing it.
Exactly! That is what I am talking about. - - - Updated - - - I mean the ability to loosen bolts so that they come off eventually, and then eventually the tire falls off.
Unless its beadlocked your tire doesnt have bolts (read as: 99.99% of cars arent beadlocked). Your rims do though. The whole point of the bolts for the wheel being spread out in a circle is that as they spin the car doesnt apply any force causing the bolt to twist, end result is that vibrations are the only thing left to loosen the bolts. Doesnt happen very quickly. Bigger question is why would you do this?
That would be extremely hard to code considering how the physics engine actually works... The only real way this would happen in real life is A: The bolts/nuts weren't tightened properly, or B: you're using the wrong bolts/nuts for your type of wheel(ie you have bolts that are designed for steel wheels and you're using them on alloys, or vice versa), and I've only heard-say that that's actually dangerous... Irl any proper garage will use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to a certain ammount that the manufacturer recommends. So the only reason for this to exist in the game is so people can go "lulz I can make my wheels come off by loosening the wheelbolts! How funny! Now I'm going to do something else!"... Really isn't worth the effort imho...
