[FIXED]Important Comments on Research and Development and New Game Advanced Menu

[Eric.B]

One thing would be a custom starting design skill option from the start.

Already a planned feature.

If one had design skill that was off the charts could one therefore build a car from what would be theoretically the far future or is there a max setting to r&d?

Even with a maxed design skill, you are still limited by the earliest year components appear.

I have found that DOHC arrives before the OHV I head in the early years of the game that would be in error in terms of history.

Patent #1,744,526 for OHV was awarded on January 21, 1930. DOHC was available in the early 1900s, with the 1912 Peugeot using them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot#Early

So it is correct, DOHC is older than OHV.

In the last years of the game at least one components is not available the superlegga frame.

Is this due to year or design skills?

One thing I wanted to mention was the suggestion not to eliminate the 2 cycle engine. I understand that it may not be the most popular format but it does come in handy when making small or unique engines.

2 Cycle engines still exist in the game. You'll find the option under valve trains since almost all 2-stroke engines have roughly the same valvetrain concept.

Another idea I had was the “Locking” of exterior engine dimensions to fit into a certain size and then altering the bore and stroke for maximum displacement.

I doubt this will happen. However the "Will it fit" tools are helpful in making sure you always design the maximum size engine if that is what you're goal is.

I also miss the detailed city and highway fuel mileage specs. I would like to keep the combined but providing more info would be great.

Sadly the detailed fuel consumption is gone. The GUI is too cramped, by combining I save an extra row of space.

Now here is the big question: What happened to turbine engines? I was wondering if turbines would ever show up in the game; after all Chrysler spent a lot of money trying to put one in production.

I haven't made one for the game. But it is only one line of XML if anyone wants to add it.

Thanks again for the game it really has made a lot of childhood dreams come true I play it everyday.

Quite welcome, I'm glad you're enjoying it.
