Rules states no lowering of the suspension via ATS. Since I want some rally rake, can I use ATS to only raise the front suspension a bit, or would you prefer me not to? I know ATS can screw up Beam sometimes.
I’m assuming that adjusting the ride height (either by raising or lowering it) through advanced trim settings (as opposed to changing the suspension ride height) is prohibited.
I can make guesses too, but I was looking for a definite answer from the host. lol
fine by me and i’m 99% sure it shouldn’t cause your car to collapse in beam
Im increasing front wheelbase by 1 and rear wheelbase by 2 to match the real Porsche dakar. Is that cool? Also increasing rear wheel diameter to increase the profile to attempt to match aswell
Also is the Material cost the engine and car together?
it’s cool if you adjust the wheelbase, but if you can’t increase the tire profile any more than what the game allows, i guess it’s fine to use ats for that
and where did you get material costs from? those are entirely irrelevant. the only cost that matters is the approximate cost found at the bottom right of the statistics->detail stats tab with the $ sign
Currently, there is a major bug that affects fully 3d fixtured cars with the body painted transparent by making the mesh insanely glitchy and most importantly, gives it suck a weak structural integrity, that even turning the car while moving makes the entire car bend a lot; it pretty much makes the car completely undrivable, and the glitchy mesh would likely be seizure inducing if I tried.
I’m not sure whether this will be fixed before the deadline or not, but I’ve been told by XenoYparxi that a temporary workaround to this problem is instead of painting the body with the transparent material, use the glass material instead at 100% transparency.
It wouldn’t be a fulfilling troll attempt if I can’t even drive your car in the first place now, would it?
What kind of tracks are the races on?
I have a question : I’d love to submit a car, but sadly due to how wonky the exporter can be, once in Beam.NG, the car require a tweak to the “Rear Hub Stiffness” to 40% so the rear wheels don’t burst into space…
Would you accept this or should I just give up and make another car?
sure, i’ll accept it
buuuuuurp
Excelent! I shall present those puppies then!
The red one is a 1985 bumper car converted to be a Kei car, it features a 550cc Turbo I3 engine pushing 145hp coupled to a CVT so it sort of hides under the carpet it’s horrible turbo lag… (That’s the one who requires the 40% rear hub stiffness trickery)

The second one is inspired by the Paris-Dakar vehicles and is a huge racecar, weighing about 2.3t, it moves thanks to a 1860hp Quad Turbo V16 running on LNG… Top speed got limited from 402kph to only 380kph, so I could save up some money for the budget limits!

I have, just in case if you decide to refuse any of those cars, a 3rd option
Previously, on “Crypt Trolls LS”:
- LS’s summary of attempting to drive my last entry.
- Selected quotes from the one person brave and/or stupid enough to actually do a full lap.
- Actual reaction to the previous quote
So how do I follow this up on the previous troll? What do I do next?
NB: It’s a .zip because I can’t upload any audio file types
… What the hell was that noise?
Oh god oh fuck.
It’s back.
So, how can I torture LS today? I can’t make the last entry harder to drive, really. I can’t change that too much, I am done there. Instead… I can find another way to make it even more annoying. With a high pitched engine, a CVT and some creative engineering… I can make LS’s ears bleed.

The factory has some cars to lend out. One is a 2004 Turismo GTR - stylish, sufficiently comfortable, good to handle. The other one is a Japanese-spec Astrona, modified for race tracks. Although it has only a bit over 250 horsepower, it will be fast - refitted with modern technology and another rear axle from a JDM Super Turbo model.
1 WEEK REMAINING
Two pieces of advice for everyone: firstly, even if you are completely positive that your car is fully compliant with the rules, check over it anyway; you never know what kind of trivial oversights could bite you in the ass and get you consumed.
Second, a new patch just dropped, with the most relevant change to this challenge being the updated tire physics. I have no idea what exactly has changed, but I recommend you still check to see how your car drives, especially if it has rally tires, since those were said to suffer from grip roll.
That is all.

The lore states that it’s powered by a plutonium-fueled fission reactor. That reminds me of the Lizard/Danver Nightmare from Ridge Racer Type 4, but that car had a thermonuclear fusion reactor instead of a fission-based one.
Anyway, since Automation doesn’t support any form of nuclear propulsion, what kind of engine did you put in the Goober? I’m guessing a twin-turbo V8, V10, or V12 of some sort.
As for aesthetics, it reminds me of a modern equivalent of a late '90s GT1 racer, especially considering that it’s most likely built on one of the '95 Super Wedge body sets.
