1) I'm not sure if I have the GUI set up for LSD any more. If I do, all you have to do is lower "year" to something like 1900. Make a new game, and if you still don't see an option for it in the GUI, then it's bugged. The AI is broken right now, it's allowed to do stuff it' shouldn't be allowed to do right now...
2) They are multipliers, but they only effect a small portion of the overall piece of the pie... For the rating, Cylinders plays a roll in 5/19ths, Fuel Type 3/19ths, layout whatever number is there, etc. it's pretty complex formula. There are 18 variables that comes to play just in the Fuel Rating. As for the MPG, It still needs to be tweaked but it's a pretty disgusting formula... Fuel Type's Fuel Rating for example has this effect: 5 km/l * 1.005^(DesignYear-1899) * FuelFuelRating
There are things that divide and multiply this stuff as well as a bunch of subtraction and exponents!
All in all 22 different variables for the fuel mileage. (Not double counting year as more than 1 variable)
Did I ever tell ya'll I failed nearly all my college math classes!
3) Time is a major multiplier, there are also some other hidden ones as well. But time is probably the most important. It effects almost all stats. In real life you notice everything progressively gets better. So we too raise the baseline to cover general techniques becoming better...
4) Currently there is a bug, which I made when I added the design image ratings. It's fixed in 1.12. The overall rating is an average of other ratings... (10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+100)/9 does not equal 10 (9.5 being 5 stars!)
