Update Speculation thread

Yes, I find it quite strange that a German sports car has a diesel engine, and yet the American pickup truck doesn't.

 

Ford Dodge Chevy all have diesel trucks. I don't know where you're finding your info.

We a diesel Bug. Even though it's German. It's made here.

 

He's talking about the in-game vehicles.

 

I expect some car to be released but being honest I am not really sure what is gonna happen with the updates...thats all I can say

 

Oh my bad, It didn't seem like it. I guess I don't look at the vehicles as being American or German or from any country. Just shit to crash. haha.

 

I was talking about diesel trucks in the US

 

Come to portugal. We pay the same tax for a 2L diesel and a 1.3L petrol engine, and diesel is much cheaper than petrol aswell.
That would explain the abundance of "TACKATACKATACKATACKATACKATACKA" you hear at every stop light.

 

Dont need to come to portugal to hear that i have that here too but recently i dont here it that odten anymore
OT: i really hope we get a pic of the hopper soon

 

Come to india. Its petrol Motorcycles, or V16 diesel trucks/vans/buses

Ok I know this was posted a long time ago, But I just read this now. Sorry.

In fact, I bought a diesel just for its sound, 1997 Ford F250 7.3 *cough* power stroke>cummins *cough*. and I dont regret buying one. lol

 

ln New Zealand diesel cars aren't that popular mostly because you have to pay road user charges. as diesel isn't taxed over here.

 

I'm thinking there will be update in 1 month from now, but I'm usually wrong

Diesel as 4 cylinder sounds horrible, 6 cylinders quite nice, 12 cylinder 2-stroke == Awesome!

One of the best things in diesel was the torque, turbo diesel with automatic transmission was really nice, it moves car so effortlessly that there is something classy about it. Old diesels also had really nice torque from the idle, no need to touch throttle when moving manual car on parking lot, where as petrol/gasoline car had to be given rpm to just move it a bit.

Of course this was with older pre electronics era, newer diesel cars somewhat lost this ability, then even newer cars got all kind of helping functions, where ECU applied more throttle automatically if you used clutch without throttle and engine's rpm did drop, that was needed with diesel cars then as they lost that massive torque on idle at some point when moving from mechanical to electronic engine management.

Before 1990-1993 almost all diesel cars did use mechanical management and after 1998 almost everything had electronics, can't remember any without electronic system from that year or more recent.

At 80's I had a truck/lorry which I used to deliver gravel, there was bit of issue with engine cut off, so had to shut it off by stalling with gears, problem was that 12 liter diesel had so much torque at idle, that I had to use bigger gears, brakes were not strong enough on lower gears to stall that motor.

You don't have throttle butterfly/flap/valve at intake with diesel, so RPM and power is controlled by how much fuel is injected, that then gave quite strong torque at idle as there was lot less losses, also CR is lot higher with the diesel, so shape of torque curve is quite different and how much torque is available on low throttle behaves quite differently, that makes diesel so much nicer to drive as you don't need to beg for torque, it is always there.

I'm still not against a screaming 12 cylinder 5 litre naturally aspired petrol/gasoline motor of Italian flavor, of course from time before 90's as with any automotive related things

 

Anyway, back to update speculation...

 

The devs were really rather quiet these days probably are working hard as always wich i really apreciate

 

There was an new italy post. I like the challenging roads.

 

Where, can you link it?
