Game at Launch, What is in? What is Out? - Updated 20/5/2011

chains dont really need to be replaced.

A lot of cars the interval is 100k, one year the robot in the factory made an oops and the oil squinter for the chain in 02 ecotec engines is weak so the chains stretch and fail at around 80k.

Ah, I can only dream.


Anyways, will there be an option to have the 2strokes uniflow or loop scavenged?

Loop scav is the style used in SAABs, Trabis, and that Toro weedeater out in your garage. Where the oil is mixed with the fuel and breathed through the crankcase.

Uniflow would require the use of a blower and exhaust valves, however, I don't think they were ever used in a car (Unless you want to count a '66 Crackerbox Jimmy haha)

Now how about more than 2- and 3-cylinder 2-strokes?
Will I be able to make a V-8 mill?
Straight six 2-stroke? HHHNNNNNGGGGGG

No idea on any of the above, we haven't turned our attention to 2 strokes at all yet

I hope there will be mod spupport so you can make your own cars and enginges liki in street legal racing redline it is just an

There will be mod support for sure, but I warn you, its pretty mind breakingly complicated at times! (we'll try and do some good documentation though)

In the first post in this forum, Zeussy says that he hopes to have W18 engines in the game. This sounds terrific, except for one thing. A "W" engine has four banks of cylinders, and 18 is not divisable by 4.

Will we be able to make Semi trucks?

I didn't read through all 17 pages of comments, but I'd like to see CVT and DCT for sure. They improve with each generation and will likely completely replace traditional automatics (with CVT) and manuals (with DCT) in time.

Urrm no 18 is not dividable by 4, but what the problem here??
Single crank, 3 banks of six cylinders in an inverted broad arrow configuration.
Bugatti used this configuration quite a lot.

There was a VW 4 bank W18 also. Their design was loosly based on the VW V5 engine (found in the VR5).. that was a twin bank with 3 cylinders on the first bank and 2 on the other bank (this engine is not really a true twin-bank V engine). They had the V9 variant laying around (4/5 twin) and 'glued' two together on a single crank for a W18. I'm not really sure though if the engine was ever used in production...

It doesnt matter if its divideable by 4.
It matters if it is able to divide 360 with even numbers.
i.e 360 divided by 18 = 20 (20 Times up and down for the wheel to turn 360 degrees (if gearbox is 1:1)
By the way how many rotors could we choose max (if even released)

HUH? You lost me I think he was talking about how it has a uneven number of cylinders for how many banks it should have....I'm not sure where gear ratios come in.
