Semi Fire Behavior

I'm not sure if it is a bug or if it is designed this way but at 1100 F exhaust manifold temp. the semi goes on fire, I was wondering if there was a way to change this. With higher horsepower mods the exhaust temp. can get well into the 1000s. Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

Thanks for the reply
Which file is the fire behavior located, I couldn't find it in the engine.jbeam

 

I have to agree and disagree at once, yes this temps are high, but not high enough, 1100 F is only 593 C and it shouldn't start to burn or melt anything close to engine. Engine bay, engine and elements are designed to isolate heat from "fragile" elements and rest have to withstand a lot more. At this temp you might see light emission in darkness, but hard to notice, I cooked a lot of manifolds to temp around 900-1000 Celsius (very intensive orange light) and guess what, cars were fine, noting catched on fire, nothing melted. After 1 minutes of idling exhaust temp of my motorbike is near 600 Celsius if I start to rev for next 1-2 minutes it it will be yellow, and that's ~ 1200 celsius but it will not catch a fire. I'd like proper fire simulation, it should be a surprise to see fire, and that could be fun, but atm it's annoying, high temp of turbo don't combust oil- oil is cooling turbo, high temp of exhaust don't combust cars, hitting fuel tank in cars don't combust them, (Ford Pinto is another story, wrong material, bad construction, old times) especialy diesel fuel (T- series fuel tanks I look at you), overall cars catching fire almost don't happen IRL, yup IRL there aren't as many crashes at high speeds, and cars set a fire are more common on racetracks (cuz high speeds and high temps) but it's still very rare view anyway. I understand it's WIP but is a big part of current gameplay, it's here since 0.5 and it's not fun when your sport car (vanilla config) will randomly catch a fire after 5 laps on crashless carefull racing on Hirochi raceway and you have to restart car. When I see 2 the most basic covets doing headon crash at 40km/h each and both of them starts to slowly burn :| Btw the more fuel in the tank the harder for the ignition of it. Please don't take it as a rant more like some informations/feedback.

 

I agree 100℅ but even if it was unrealistic I wanted to see if I could edit it so it doesn't catch fire all the time

 

another thing i found with the high temps on t series is sometimes as soon as you hit the water the thing will burst into flames and im talking like 5 mph

 

Ok, thanks i'll try it
