It needs to be able to cruise at 65 mph or higher... RVs would be frequently on the highway, and most interstate highways were 55, 60, or 65. Now they're even higher. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limits_in_the_United_States From what I can remember real 454 torque figures are higher, I can't really prove anything substantially but around 400 ft-lb sounds much better, and that's nearly 550 nm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Big-Block_engine#454
Well, as far as an actual torque curve goes, I really can't say, but for a mid-80's peanut port head 454 with 7.5:1 compression, you'd have about 240 HP and about 300 ft-lbs. I have no idea what that would be in NM. That being said you could very easily make that 300+ HP and 450+ ft-lbs with a different cam, a 750-800 CFM carb, some headers, and a better intake. We used to have a late 70's Winnebago with a Dodge 440 and a 727, it would do 70 on the highway, but thats all it would do.
Sounds about right. Although the fact that your Winnebago, which is older and has a smaller engine, could do 70 means perhaps the air resistance or rolling resistance is too high for the Bounder in BeamNG.
That's so awesome! I tried to make this with a friend who is studying game design but we failed, its so cool that you are making this <3 <3 <3 <3
Our Winnebago was 30-something foot, And again, it was still a big block with a 3 speed, and while I don't know what rear gears it had, it could keep up with traffic. *Not the actual one we had, but same model.
completley off topic, but since your back mind fixing the helljeep? it my favorite vehicle of yours and would mean a lot to me
If you have any general questions let me know, I have a 32' 1986 Tiffin Allegro. not quite the same motorhome but the running gear should be right. I lived in it for 5 years and did all the maintenance and repairs, so I know a bit about it. (imported from here) ive got a 454 with a 3speed auto. I mostly drove it at 55mph, but she would do more if you had room, into the 70s. never tried pushing her much past that tho, handleing was VERY floaty, it handled like a bathtub on wheels. also I don't remember it being that heavy, id have to check the title, but I think it was only like 15,000 lbs at the most. engine didn't really have anything "special" about it as I recall, it did had a 4bbl quadrajet, cam may have been alittle hotter, sounded mean it idle. as far as gearing goes, not shure about 1st and 2nd, 3rd was 1.00 as most old 3 speeds were, felt like maby 3.90s in the rear (never cracked it open, so I cant be shure). Ive seen rvs with 3.54s and a 3speed and they do ok, granted they were 6.9s not 454s. dont go too low, rvs arnt ment to accelerate fast, theyre ment to get up to speed and stay there.
Yeah. Every quality looking realistic mod is uploaded to some russian sites and forms then stolen and made with breakable plastics.
And now, the moment we've all been waiting for! This thing is a lot of fun as it is, I cant really say anything negative about it that would not be realted to its being such an early version. good work.
EDIT: So I'm an idiot for blaming the wrong person. They used a pic from someone on this forum, and credited him for it. I looked in community screens and found a similar pic, but not the one they used, so I figured he must've sent it to them. Turns out the actual picture WAS there too.
Mom : I think the Covet is the best idea . Jimmy : but mom , i want the RV ! Dad : Okay you two ! , stop . i have an idea .
How come your group got like 10 members, but I've seen people from not that group post pics of it? I don't get it :/
