That is because you need to change the long block.

 

Oh, thank you. Somehow I didn’t think about this.

 

The AI sometimes fails to properly line up at the drag strip, and when they do, sometimes they begin to reverse during the countdown and crash into walls

 

It's been kind of random, sometimes they stop before both amber lights are on, sometimes they line up but begin to reverse away rapidly turning left and right eventually crashing into a wall. (that last one I remember happened with the SBR4)
no mods running etc, i'll try catch it on video and post it here if needed.
This is sort of rare, after a few races it will likely happen at least once, bus has highest chance of failing to properly line up i'd say

 

I found a simple solution, please consider doing it, thanks.
In the "combustionEngineThermals.lua"
In line 523

Code:

  local coolantEfficiency = useRegularCoolantLogic and (coolantMass * invInitialCoolantMass * max(min((constants.maxCoolantTemperature - M.coolantTemperature) * 0.1, 1), 0)) or 0.01

Change the number 0 to 0.001, as shown

Code:

  local coolantEfficiency = useRegularCoolantLogic and (coolantMass * invInitialCoolantMass * max(min((constants.maxCoolantTemperature - M.coolantTemperature) * 0.1, 1), 0.001)) or 0.01

The 0.001 is low enough to fully damage the engine after overheating, and high enough to prevent temp jumping after cooling down.

 

we need cold air so we can do cold starts!!!!!!!!!

 

Even just as a slider would be great.

 

Automation Test Track is 0 degrees Celsius in certain parts of the map.

 

technically if you modified a map to have below zero temperature and disabled engine preheating in the settings, you could get cold engines, i dont know if this would make starting up the engine take any longer though

 

yes
--- Post updated ---
i know that if you go up it gets cold and down is hot

 

AI still tries to avoid other cars even when simplified collision physics are enabled (where inter-vehicle collisions are disabled so there's no reason they should react)

 

Is this really a glitch, or am I just misunderstanding you? If I were driving with simplified collisions, I wouldn't want traffic just phasing through each other.

 

If it's not a glitch it should at least be toggleable, because I like to use it to compare lap times and I can't really do that when they're trying to avoid hitting each other despite it being impossible for that to happen.

 

Any ideas about this black thing?

 

the van diesel engine does not have a adjust bar on the stage 3 turbo fix needed

 

I may be wrong, but isn't such turbo from a mod?

 

This is a bug, not mod-related. In the

No "Variable" section, but it has "$wastegateStart"

 

i will see if mods vs no mods works thx
