Altitude Effect and ECU Accounting for it

Hi.

I know that BeamNG accurately simulates the change in air density based on altitude. However, does the game simulate the ECU taking this into account and change air-fuel mixture etc. (particularly with modern cars)?

 

Yes it does. Multiple cars (mainly high end) shut off and don't start anymore on a map with a preatty high location (it's a mod, but I thinks this comes from the game itself)

 

I do know that. What I'm wandering is whether cars in-game change their timings to compensate for lack of oxygen. Thank you for you reply though

 

Okay... Just out of curiosity, is something like this a thing for the future to implement or is it too small a thing to worry about? Lately, I have been asking myself what kinds of little 'under the hood' things are considered for an already great game.

 

I think that stuff like this is never going to get implemented by the Beamng Team because if you would implement one of those features you would have to implement all of the other requested features (i know that this is not exactly true). This would cost a lot of time and in the end, a lot of features would rec up. This would end up being very CPU intensive, which would dissatisfy customers. Also the Beamng Team has a lot of other stuff to do so those features probably won't be implemented. Maybe if the game gets to the 1.0 release, which won't be soon because it's currently in the alpha state.

 

I should have worded that differently because I meant, that if a feature gets implemented based on a feature request and that's obvious you (the Beamng Team) might get showered with feature requests.
And I thought that it's just one of those bells and whistles and not a big thing that has to be resolved before the 1.0 release.
@Diamondback I wish I could edit that post, but you already quoted me so i can't do that anymore.
