He also made it into the 50s family finals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=217vv8q3FVQ I still can't believe MrChips was the only one to do a station wagon

I really hate some of the scoring in this game, just because I'm not really sure how to interpret it. How do I know what a good smoothness score for an engine is? Are all scores like that in this game on a scale of 0-100?

Yeah this concern came up because I recently mocked up a couple off-beat engine designs. A present day 2.5L I-3 DOHC 12-valve with a 4500 rpm rev limited that has the most hilarious diesel-esque torque curve, and a 4.9L SOHC 24-valve 60-degree V-8. The I-3 has a Smoothness of 14.1 and the V8 was at 56.4, and I usually don't mess with the quality settings right now. But I did have to crank up the quality on the I-3 to get it even where I did.

Rorac posted:Real life engineering, smoothness is first and foremost about how balanced the engine is in operation. Inline engines are pretty inherently unsmooth, and inline 3's even more so because the forces the engine experiences are uneven. The only smooth inline is the 6. I mean theoretically so is an inline 8, but nobody uses those anymore. (This is why semi trucks use inline 6's, by the way, it's naturally balanced, and also has the smallest block mass and internal friction). V engines are generally smoother because they have more pistons, but an inline 6 is going to be smoother than a V6, because the V6 still has the unbalanced forces issue. So does a V8 really, but I4 is better than I3, and a V8 is better than a V6. You cannot have a fundamentally balanced engine below 6 cylinders unless you use something like a flat engine design. Oh no, I get all that. I knew the 3 banger would be a paint shaker. Was sort of the point, wanted to see if I could even make it functional. I just wasn't sure how to evaluate the score for the V8.

Goddammit Alan, you forgot to install the 3rd intake valve on the last cylinder again...

Okay, so because I bought BeamNG I now have a 20% off Automation coupon. I have no use for it as I already own Automation. If you want it, PM me a link to your Steam profile or drop it in the thread. It expires on the 3rd. edit: Gone. Q_res fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Aug 1, 2018 |

Thank god, the UI on this game has always been lackluster on its best days.
