    @Diamondback we need the ability for 2 or more turbos now.

    Twins, compounds, triples.

    Was just jokin, figured it would be obvious with the imposing limits on players part. ;)



    Also, dunno why the hell you'd want the NFS style sound effects and flames, go play NFS if that's your style cause that certainly wouldn't fit with the theme of Beamng.

    When you use NOS, the exhaust shoots flames and makes a sound, that's not NFS. (Half the player-base wants NFS with crash physics anyways, so)

    Yeah, no. I didn't realise that you represented half the player-base and knew every single one of them and what they desire. Good to know, should speak to the devs about that eh.

    Nitrous making a sound sounds plausible, but the effect in Need for Speed is likely highly exaggerated; it won't be that loud from outside the car (if you can hear it from outside the car at all, that is). Gran Turismo's approach, with a more muted sound, is probably the correct one. As for flames, that's not likely unless the car has been specifically rigged to spray fire out the tailpipe (which is another not-bad idea).

    Just clarifying that you asked if something that goes on with fuel mixture would be affected by what trans is installed.
    Are you four.

    Nitrous isn't what burns, it just puts more oxygen in the cylinder so a larger explosion happens. To get fire, the Air-Fuel ratio of the engine needs to be dangerously high so extra fuel is left over and is burned in the exhaust. The movies and videogames highly exaggerate this effect.

    I think that the flames should be "reserved" for backfires.
    --- Post updated ---
    I hope the devs add the feature of blowing up your engine when you inject NOS at too low RPMs
    @Diamondback Would that be possible? It'd be really fun. I love blowing up the engines with the new over-rev feature, and a dramatic bang would be awesome!

    I seriously hope that with this new nitrous option, I can turn the slow, boring Pigeon into a 100-horsepower-plus monster. Why, I might even want it for the T-Series so that I can get my milk up the hills and through the mountain passes faster.

    All NOS does is make a small hiss when it's injected. No Adrenaline mode at all.

    If you're curious (and/or have never played Asphalt 6 before), this is what the Adrenaline mode looks like:

    I almost want to say that I've heard of nitrous being added to a big rig in real life before, though I don't remember where. It certainly wasn't a factory option, though it would actually make at least a little bit of sense for a vehicle whose main job will be to lug really heavy stuff over varied terrain. There absolutely are people who supertune big rigs and go drag racing with them; some of them are actually pretty quick.

    In any case, I could imagine nitrous being available for all official vehicles, if not right away then eventually.

    As for the Pigeon, I have to seriously question whether a 600cc engine could take even a 20 shot without serious fortification.

    After joking about a Pigeon nitrous purge on the developer thread response forum, I must ask. Will we actually be able to do this? I imagine it wouldn't be difficult to have nitrous purges with different options for nozzle placement since it's just another gas/particle cloud, which there are already a few of in game.

    A prototype multiplayer has been left in the game files most likely using the replay system to sync cars, its unfinished or/and missing files.

    Im assuming that they will work on the sounds more, but one thing I wouldn't mind is the ear rape of straight cut gears in the rally and race cars.

    If that does come I hope we get an earplug button.

    I asked that because the NOS mod doesn't like anything other than a automatic with a locking torque converter.

    Why? I still don't see how that would change anything apart from making turbo setup utterly difficult and complex (not that it's an easy job atm either...)

    I really don't know, it's such a pain to work with visual particles, definitely not a priority right now...
    Sound for purging is a difficult topic by itself, it's not easy to get matching sound files, we can't just take them out of some random YouTube video ;)

    Yea atm there is no specific damage for using N2O apart from the already existing thermals stuff (which reacts as expected out of the box) but it's not enough.

    I am thinking about having some sort of maximum torque the engine can withstand, which slowly destroys it if above said torque.
    This would automatically lead to your wanted behavior of destroying the engine with large shots at low rpm (because the lower the rpm, the more torque it needs to add for a set power gain)
