Open Beta: Suspension & Dynamics (B1322)

I don’t know if it counts as a bug as such (and if it does then its almost certainly very low priority), but this evening I spent ages trying to make the perfect VW Golf GTI MKI replica. Pretty much everything I needed for the body was available, and I managed to get the peak power and torque to within ~0.4 of their proper values at the correct RPM, using all the settings I could find on that website you suggested in the engine stats gathering thread and modifying whatever settings were left. However, when I tried to fit the engine in as a transverse it wouldn’t fit because it was too long a considerable margin . This was with the roomiest front suspension available and the simplest 4 speed gearbox I could make.

There is a little circular thing at the back of the engine that has wires going to it. I don’t really know much about engines so i don’t know if it is possible to move this when you have mechanical fuel injection, but doing so might just solve the problem. Or, since the gearbox scales to the size of the car, it shouldn’t clip with the gearbox and it might be able to be ignored while fitting the engine (not sure about a longitudinal mounted engine though, since big engines go right up against the dashboard)

Hi i have an issue with my saves, its not working can anyone help?

Please be more precise about your problem.

Which saves do not work? Engines, platforms, models? All of them or just a few?
Which game version are you running?
What exactly is happening? What do you do before something does not work? Error messages?

There are no platforms,models and no engine designs when i go into sandbox. Running version b1319.

If you mean that there are no saves from previous game builds: Yeah, that’s how it is supposed to be. Old saves are not compatible anymore. This will probably happen again and again on the way of completing the game.

Or do you mean your designs made and saved in the current game build do not show up? That would be weird, it’s at least working for me.

Thanks for the help. Now i’m going to build my beefcake engines over again. :mrgreen:

I constantly get a Nil value when attempting to load my Twin Turbo V8 into my RWD Car I built, I can however assume you guys have seen this bug already but if not PM me and i can provide a screenshot.

Does this happen with the latest update? Build 1320?

got this message after quickly going from revise model to revise platform (model based on a different platform) build 1320

me too

When will the official patch be released? I’d like to play online again.
Unless that’s a bug… running 1319 and getting the message “Game build is too old for multiplayer”, I’m assuming it’s supposed to block people from the future though.

It’s not a bug. Build 1319 IS too old for multi. Build 1320, though…

Got another one while trying to make a new model

pressed 'retry and got this… Will we be able to make a Reliant Robin one day perhaps? :wink: Apart from those little bugs absolutely loving the game and this update :slight_smile:

mess, could you post/attach the model lua file of the model that causes this crash? That would be great!

Yeah, here it is. Also now I can’t even revise the platform. Screens of the error will be in this post in just a second.

EDIT here is the screen from when i try to load that platform. Also on the car manager menu, the rear suspension (should be a Torsion Beam) doesn’t show.

I got THIS when i tried to use a coupe body in 1953. Not the blocky coupe, the rounded one.


Which version did this occur in? There was a bug in I think 1317 which let you pick a body before a panel material, not sure if this is that bug. How did you get it to happen?

I’m in 1318, I was messing about in 1953 when i accidentally clicked the rounded sports car body. The game crashed, It might be that bug. but i’m not sure. EDIT: quoting fail lol

I get this error on 1320 as soon as I click sandbox. I haven’t read all 10 pages of this thread yet, I apologize if it has been covered.

Seems strange, have you tried clearing out platforms from the My Documents/Automation folder?
