Belt/Chain driven engines

Chain or Cog driven camshafts

Hi guys I was wondering if you would be adding chain and/or cog driven camshafts on top of the standard belt driven option?

Please Note: Engine Designer is Feature Locked

We are talking about something that does not fit the core goals of the game as my question implies, making it worse for implementing such a thing (because that is effort spent on something entirely irrelevant).

A few thoughts about the engine designer

I have a few ideas for the engine designer i want to share with the devs and community. I hope to get a bit of feedback, and hopefully my ideas will contribute to make Automation a superb game! 1: Cooling - I think i would be a nice touch to be able to choose cooling systems for your engine. It would probably effect price and MTTF and how hot you can run the engine. It would make the engine feel more real (less generic). 2: Part robustness : It would be nice for some parts to be able to choose…

Game at Launch, What is in? What is Out? - Updated 08/2014

what about different cam drive systems? IE: chain, belt or gear driven. I know cosworth had some of their engines gear driven which while more expensive seems to be the most reliable. Chain driven cams are also better than belt ones. if your belt fails your valves go crunch. I could never understand why that is even used.

Can't Wait for the Inline 6!

Really looking forward to the next update! Much more for the I6 engines than the turbochargers, really. I LOVE the inline 6 engine platform, I’ve owned 5 BMW’s with inline 6’s, and each one has been fantastic. One was actually turbocharged… how convenient. Can’t wait to recreate the M20 and M30 in game. That brings up a good point… Will there ever be an option for choosing between a timing belt and timing chain?

or, something like that.
