Would be cool if now that we can manually enable or disable ignition independently of the engine (as shown in Diamondback's development media post) we could trigger flames by disabling ignition while the engine is running, causing unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust then turning the ignition back on to suddenly combust the unburnt fuel in the exhaust
Which leads to another issue, the current fire system. It sucks, there is no way around it. If they made something like this now, it would probably use jato effects, which are also not good for this application. Not to mention that they would have to put flammable nodes in the exhaust before that could really work, which isn’t really something that can be toggled. They would also have to come out with more precise flames before that could really happen. For now, just light your car on fire and drive until the engine melts
What is wrong with the fire system? That the whole car doesn't melt? That would require tons of work to implement in a realistic way. Exhaust does have simulated thermals, it's just not used at the moment. The nodes aren't flammable directly, but there is a way around it like with the way tires are currently done. Which also proves that it can be toggled (tires won't burst into flames themselves but will only on direct contact with fire which is practically rare, maybe you never had it). And if afterfire is precise then why can't that be?
Didn’t actually know that. Probably would help in other projects to be honest. I don’t mean that the fire system sucks in that way, it’s just there are a ton of limitations with it. All fires in the game are the exact same, no matter the circumstances. The bolide had/has the exhaust flames, and they don’t look that great imo. The flames themselves don’t look good either. A gas tank fire is essentially the same as an exhaust flame. It could use quite a bit of improvement. I don’t really want the car to melt, the fire effect just needs a tiny bit of improvement. Like a real flame instead of a fireball every time
Maybe you just mean in a visual way, physically they are completely things simulated by different systems
Yeah. Physically, the thermals are almost perfect (aside from melting things, but I’m fine without that), but they can use a few visual improvements.
Ok then my bad, I misunderstood you initially. Yeah they would probably visually use something like the JATO and it wouldn't be very precise on every exhaust. We would need an improved particle system for the fire.
Confirmed with the next update: ETK K Series Refresh Covet refresh Possible: ETK 800 refresh. (It would only make sense to refresh both the K Series and 800 Series) New map? idk what else lol (Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong with something) --- Post updated --- explain
I‘m bored so I’m asking you here; do you think we will get a teaser next Tuesday and if yes, what will it be about?
