Update Speculation thread

Camo skin?

 

I could look into that.

 

I wonder if there will be an offroad hopper variant,with a dirty skin maybe.

 

I say there will be an offroad variant, since a fine majority of us want to take it offroading. As for a dirty skin, IDK.

 

If not,a project for me... Or anyone who wants said project.

 

Dibs
I have 4 hours after school (3 after homework) to do whatever I want, so making a skin would be a more productive thing to do than Overwatch

 

If you can call dibs on that, I call dibs on doing Jurassic Park skins. It's probably the first skin I wanted to do as soon as my eyes saw the Hopper.

 

Dammit, shoulda picked that. Race you to it
But remember, quality over quantity.

 

I have a suspicion we might get color adjustable burn slicks.

 

why you think so ? I havent seen anything regarding color smoke ? I mean you can change the color of the tiresmoke already through the editor ??

 

It's the vibes man, can't you feel the vibes?

I know that automatic transmission changes are something to look forward, if those made into this update.

 

Cool

 

Didn't the automatic transmission get changed when the powertrain code came out?

 

Yes, but there is issue caused by shifting logic as it currently looks engine rpm while torque converter rpm would be better.

Current version has bit of issues with lower rpm engines and wider gear ratios so it does not like to shift. If there was not issues with a change it should be in update I guess.

I'm not sure if there is throttle body stuff in new update, but in lua files there are some comments about waiting for throttle body stuff, so who knows, as there are some turbo tuning done, there might be some changes too.

BOV in 0.8 is quite crude hack, wastegate, BOV and throttle body play together and currently wastegate is unlimited size, BOV does not care about intake pressure and there actually is not pressure buildup or turbo shredding pressure pulses that would need BOV in first place, so I speculate that WIP area might have got some work done.

 

Hmm, that is interesting, so theoretically speaking, one could set something like "and uncapped pressure > wastegateEnd" so that BOV would function more like real thing, or have even variable to set in options like wastegate?

Need to read more lua, but there is quite a lot one can do if adventurous enough it seems, just quite lot to take in there.

 

BOV opens after set pressure is exceeded, this pressure is typically higher than max boost pressure, or that is my understanding about it, so I was playing with a thought to set minimum pressure difference required for BOV to open.

Update: Hmm, maybe part of the confusion here is that there are BOV without vacuum line which I seem to be remembering and mostly these days seem to have vacuum line.

 

Look what I found

 

It's not vibes, it's this
