Economy Driving Challenge - Covet

I just came across an awesome idea and i've tested it myself. Running the Turbo Covet with Rally suspension around Small Island.

The way you participate is you spawn in on the map with the Covet with the Turbo/rally setup.. No modifcations or changes to the car, the preset BeamNG setup for the car.

Next you set your fuel to .4 liters left in the tank. To do that go into console(`) then change the option on the bottom left to bngv and type drivetrain.fuel = 0.4

Time yourself from the moment you pull out till you make it back around. The fastest without running out of fuel wins

 

Wow, that actually sounds cool haha.
Will try it when I get back to my PC (on my crappy laptop right now).

 

Challenge Accepted!

(I might need my racing wheel for this 0.o)

 

Using a wheel and pedals would be the most practical thing to do. Throttle control is necessary

 

Here's a starting lap time to beat!

2:46

Here's what I did:
1. Spawned
2. Switched to Covet Turbo Rally
3. Specify fuel
4. Pull up to intersection
5. Start timer & pull out

Didn't run out of gas.. searching to find out how to check current level..
Edit: Debug mode 9 gave me the answer.. I had 25% of the fuel left (0.003 out of 0.011 starting value)
Edit: Whoops, debug 1 is way better, gives fuel in L.

 

Pressing L should show ur cars stats.

Not bad dude! Getting my old amd quad core rig running so I can do a pass. My White Phantom's motherboard died on me.

 

Is there a particular direction we should go i.e left or right out of the intersection

 

I've been going right, and including the time it takes to turn out, rather than lining up with the track.

OP, want to set a standard for direction/starting line?

New time: 2:33 .. fuel around 0.05L

 

Spawn; turn right; at the very beginning of the bridge is the start and finish line.

 

Nice.

My time using these rules..
2:19

.04L of fuel left. hit a few trees on some failed laps

 

Not bad man, how hard are you pushing the car? Are you using pedals and a steering wheel? Have you ran out of gas yet? lol

 

I was going ok, but I crashed into a tree at 2:46, near the bridge. The number of Covets I've ruined trying is so high it's not funny....

 

Man your really getting into the covet. I'm liking your challenges. Your becoming pretty interesting.


(If you know what I mean.)

 

Using a PS3 controller with Motioninjoy->X360 mapping.

I have run out of gas once, but honestly, when I'm pushing the car hard, I tend to smash it first.

I wonder if there are any trip timer plugins.. I want velocity plots and such. Maybe a first project..

 

lol i love the covet, very fun car to drive. This challenge was like a week or two old and someone finally posted a reply haha.

 

Haha yeah right. Just wait until I release my covet mod. You'll be jumping.

 

Give the challenge a try holland lets see some results

 

With my mod? And do I need to record it?

 

You use the covet turbo rally setup.

 

Oh oh, I see. I might give it a try, but atm I'm doing so many different things. I'll try to squeeze this in my free time.
