You know what? I've had that said to me many times before and seeing this quote again boils my blood. Unlike Atomix, slimeboy mightn't have any skill with modelling and stuff like that just like me. If you actually want people to make it themselves at least put something like a link to a guide or if you want to and have the time give them something to start off of, like a tutorial or help them through.
and the fact that he was saying the car needs "more configs"....thats the easiest thing you can possibly do in BNG, swap parts, save the setup as a new name, BAM new config.
Alright, @Atomix since you own a 742, explain this, if it's rear engined, then how come the radiator is in the front, and there is no cooling in the rear?
More cold air will hit the front of the car than the rear. The coolant passing through the radiator at the front will lose heat, and then flow all the way to the back of the car where the engine is, gain heat as it cools the engine, make its way to the front of the car again and repeat the cycle
Either way it never solved the reputation these cars had in the UK for overheating, and rusting away faster than you can blink.
A person who used to live on my walk to school owned one of those Skodas, I swear to god a rust hole on the side of the car got bigger by the week.
Which car from the 80s didn't rust. If you want to see fast rusting cars then just go to Italy or UK. In UK if you read tests from magazines of the time you would find that finish of these cars was quite good main problem was handling since the cars was rear engined. Not the rust.
I never said anything about 80's cars having rust.. I just said that a person on my old school route used to own one that rusted like fuck.
Radiator in the front of rear-engined car is pretty frequent and honestly the most sensible solution. Among the cars in game, the SBR4 has the radiator in the front, too.
The problem of the front radiator espacially on the old skodas were that the tubes often would leak and you had coolant everywhere
off topic, but wow i read 742 as Boeing 747-200, i was shocked then i remembered this is beamNG.drive not beamNG.fly
Me driving a 30 year old car on its own says otherwise about the rust thing. It occured fast enough without any care for the hollows, but with care they won't rust more than anything else. Was pretty solid for late 70s standards in western europe. The overheating issue only occurs when something is wrong with it, like if you put water in it and run it like that for a decade... clogs the pipeline and open deck block. Or have a bad coolant cap and have pressure escaping, will start boiling sooner than the system was designed, happened to me once. After i fixed it i drove for a year without a functioning radiator fan and never got the needle over 90. It has amazing self cooling abilities due to the big surface of the cooling system and 12,5 litres of coolant. I could spill trivia on these for hours but it would get lost in the wind, whatever.
