After looking up all Chrysler FWD platforms and looking at the car again it looks like the Dodge Intrepid front grill mixed with the headlights from a first gen Eagle Talon on an F-body platform.

I have a challenge for you automat/o/rs
Make a Pontiac Fiero.
Engines you much replicate include:
W41, a 2.3L DOHC 16 valve Quad 4 engine making 190 HP with a 7k redline
LQ1: a 3.4L DOHC 24 valve V6 making anywhere from 200 HP (IRL production numbers) to 280 HP (preproduction numbers prior to second gen Fiero prototypes killing Corvettes.

MINUS THE TWIN TURBOS

>making a car in 1965
>turbos arent available
What the fuck? Turbos were available just a few years earlier

>>16482481
Basically, the game's meant to be a production car tycoon and ingame if you put a lot of tech into forced induction you'll be able to get turbos at the bleeding edge. Think of what tech is available when as what the truly average car company would consider as an option for their car.

>>16482481
turbos werent more common until the mid 70s

which is why 1974 is the default year

>>16482481
turbos are available by default at 74 >>16482502

But if you are playing campaign and research turbo tech up to 10 points you get them 10 years earlier. so 64. In the game you can have thing up to 15 points, so 15 years before.

I actually think this game is more suited to a tech tree kind of research but the devs don't think so...

>>16482560
yeah Id personally prefer a Civ style tech tree

fuck you if I do well enough to get EFI and turbos in 1950 I deserve it

just like how I have planes in the 1700s (but no electricity because the fuck)

>>16482612
It's even worse cause you have awful starting tires and brakes for the amount of power you easily get early game with no tech.

>>16482662
You pretty much have to put extra quality into tires and brakes early game to get lower profile tires.

>>16482495
>Basically, the game's meant to be a production car tycoon and ingame if you put a lot of tech into forced induction you'll be able to get turbos at the bleeding edge. Think of what tech is available when as what the truly average car company would consider as an option for their car.
The Chevrolet Corvair had a turbo option from 1961-1969 anon.

>>16478244
>http://automation.gamepedia.com/Game_FAQ

>11. When will you raise the 12krpm Rev limit, Give access to 130 octane Avgas etc.

As Automation is a game focused on running a car company that builds road cars, and maybe a few touring car style race cars, those kind of technologies don't make sense to include.
We chose the 12krpm rev limit as it covers any production car ever made and then some, and because the way we get engine sounds produced starts to run into a lot of issues above 12,000rpm.

>those kind of technologies don't make sense to include.
Just fucking wow, what a bunch of lazy cunts. And they ask almost 30€ / 30$

>>16483201
That one I actually agree with them. It's a production car car.
How many engines in production cars that rev above 12k?

My biggest subject with them is the Diesel engines. You can tell that the game is made by NZ retards when they tell you Diesel is not worth it.

>>16482612

So you want an ecu that runs on fucking vacuum tubes?

>>16483237
They're actually German, they moved to New Zealand for... some reason.

>>16483237
>implying that option to have a group B or C car with a NA engine revving to 20,000 rpm, made solely for advertising, wouldn't be fun

Finished my first campaign. 0.50 difficulty, demographics were funky AF, my best selling car sold 2 million models. A 996kg RWD station wagon designed and built in 1982 with a 1274cc mpefi 3 cylinder running on regular making a touch over 50bhp.

Started with 1bn finished with 10bn

Call it autism, but I love making my own brands in sandbox and like, comparing them to each other in the markets.

This one is like a Mustang GT, but reduced stroke on a 5.0 to a 4.6 for higher RPM and forged internals to have as much power as I can squeeze out of a pushrod V8. I tried to budget as much as possible.

How do you make the popups?

>>16496268
>Fac shit is conf

Once you have your RnD set you have to get a fac plot small/med/large each costs more money but has higher production hours.

After that you can set the fac size 1,2,3. This is cheaper than buying a bigger plot of land but a small plot with a level 3 fac produces less than a med plot with level 1 fac.

You want cars per day and engines per day to match, never pay for more than 2 shifts because overtime/third shift is expensive AF.

Actually that rule was canned in the wake of the bailout. The government said that rule stifles creativity and engineering.
There have been a bunch of Camaros since that were faster

>>16498619
Post bailout Pontiac would be a thing of beauty if they turned it loose

>>16497199
that car is retardedly fast but yeah I agree with you no way it should be running those times

it runs a 7:10 standing start on the Nurburgring a 57 second lap on Tsukuba and the only thing faster on Laguna Seca are race cars

almost makes me want to think up some rules to make a racing challenge

>>16511478

>>16511522
you realize V12s were not a major focus so they didnt put that much work into it compared to more important shit right

>>16511530
They are a really small studio that only have x amount of time to work on the game.

Wish they would htfu but it's the best engine building came out there it needs engine modding support but I think their engine modeling is caught up in the ue4 port so it will come with that.

>>16511551
yeah Im patient with them Ive fucked with this game since before it was even released to the public and honestly Im pleased with how things have went since then

mostly because its still being worked on and hasnt been abandoned like a few projects Ive been interested/invested in the past

My biggest gripe is turbos.

Why is a 66mm turbo with a .94AR running out of boost at 7,000rpm on a 3L I6?
I should be able to put fucking 35psi+ through a 15 quality, ball bearing turbo and yet i can't get over 20psi without losing boost at the top end.

Turbos are nerfed to shit

>>16511619
theres Gearcity but its more tycoon and less detailed with the car building

>>16511685
they thought about doing gear ratios but decided against it to free up the clutter/make it more simple

personally Id be for an "advanced" mode that lets you go in depth but it wont happen

>>16511761
the devs admit the turbos are shit and need to be redone

>>16511763
I find a hard limit of 40psi even worse.

N/a is accurate enough but yeah turbos are dogshit

>Needing 400+ cubic inches to make ~350 HP
pleb.

yeah its a performance car why would I weight it down with pigfat?

those Camaros weigh more about 33-3400 too

>needing

no I have a 356 and is honestly better in every category that makes 340hp and gets the exact same times but small block isnt muscle enough

Guys, stop comparing in game cars to irl cars, especially old ones.
Cars in game are so much faster than irl cars.

>>16512830
That's only semi true. If you try chasing an IRL car with about the same power to weight ratio, you're prob not going to make it. Hypercars maybe but not shit like the ZR1 or ACR.

And don't run it on the TG test track even a fucking wrx clone can do it under 1:15.

>>16512830
350hp net and 2900lbs and runs the same as 335 gross that weighs 3400

I tried my hand at what an early-mid 00's Fiero could look like.

I had a hard time finding a body I liked, considering it has to actually be in line with the rounded stylings of the decade but be a mid engined car. (as well as the car itself having the morphing points nessecary to style it right)

and doing pop up lights on anything that isnt a flat-ish surface is a pain, but I think it came out ok, if a bit too big- though I used the Second Gen concept as a jumping off point and that seemed to be fairly large too

They aren't greedy.
But thats their problem. Even thought the 2 guys that started this quit their full time jobs and hired people. The german guy that does the videos was the first they hired.
They still run it like it's an hobby.
They go on vacations, work less hours on it that regular people do with they mundane jobs.
They add one thing, they remove the other.

Good to know that it's merely the user that is retarded. But I've been building engines for going on 15 years now, and I'm doing some calculations in my head thinking that these power numbers are often way out of spec. Does this game let you adjust things like valve lift and duration? I mean you could go full retard with some of the finer settings and get shit numbers, but I was just wondering.

>>16525953

Naw, not that in depth but you can adjust stuff like cam profile and AFR and ignition timing or whatnot.
