As I said earlier, you can use @ tags. Type @ and a list of users will appear. Start typing the username you want tobtag and select it when it appears. They will be notified of your post.
The tagging system was implemented specifically to prevent multiposting, so please, use that.
Also @squidhead probably wasn’t saying he could make a better car using your rules. He was saying your rules don’t reflect real life considerations because it’s dumb to enforce compromises that companies didn’t intend and were therefore incidental. No Aero is fine… But making cars heavier on purpose without thinking about why they’re heavy? Think about how the game plays out when writing your rules.
Also hahahahaha I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody ask Killrob to judge their forum contest. Do you even know what Killrob’s role in the development of Automation is?
There is no rule saying no light cars, is there? I just said, the heavier the better. It just helps motivate the other person to build a more powerful engine to carry the car.
…by increasing compression and delaying ignition timing?
Robert Hoischen AKA Killrob
Lead Beta Tester, Design Assistant (and as far as I know, the guy who does a big deal of research and some of the calculations (for example for the helmholtz resonances and economic stuff). Pretty sure he has a degree on advanced physics (in layman terms, rocket scientist)
Also, there is a thread you might want to read about hosting challanges
You need to post how you’re going to score the challenge and how the winner is decided before receiving entries (if there is a winner). Announce a challenge with no clear goal (no clear scoring system) is dumb like to create a challenge and then make other people come up with the scoring system).
By cutting down on the cooling. The compression and timing don’t work right in the game, so I had to work with that, but my muscle car has high compression and a timing of 0 (on the scale of 0 to 100) and is still fast. I forgot to mention the other things he did, and I will leave the score system to whoever the judge will be. The things he or she will be looking for are in the first post, they will just come up with a score system.
Ok, this is going to be quite strange and funny since I totally did Storm out of this thread in a Huff like three hours ago But since then, somebody seriously asked if I’d actually be interested in judging.
Given I only have objections to really one of the rules, I can volunteer to do it. But I don’t see a scoring system. Can I be the one to decide that? It will mean I completely ignore Weight in favour of other considerations e.g. practicality, number of seats etc.
It says that the judge is who scores. You will just need to present both cars anyway you can (a video of each and a results video would be cool, or 2 sets of collages) We just PM you the car, and you judge with your scoring system. But it might be SillyDucky who is doing this cause he asked in a PM. He said he’s got a Youtube Channel. You want to work with him? The result thread will have a poll for the people to vote on the cars.
Fair enough. Car’s almost finished, just playing around with some setting changes to try to make the most out of my car. I don’t usually use carbs and pushrods, but I’ve been having fun with them lately, so I’m more than happy enough to make a muscle car.
Sillyducky would be doing a video? Well if that were the case it’s easier for one person to do the judging than for two to coordinate, and I may not be very reliable at that. So I’m happy to defer to them!
