Ah, I was misinterpreting your quote. The point I was going for was that '80s grey import engines were quite common in the USDM market in their frantic attempts to maintain some semblance of power under new emissions regulations. "Chryslers" and "GMs" (heavy quotation marks) were quite common in that era (not sure if Ford counts because of their relationship with Mazda). More OT: I'm already very impressed with what I've seen of both West Coast USA and Italy from the handful of screenshots that we've been given. I can't wait for an official teaser of the LeGran.
Yes, its as simple as putting a shaft from engine to wheel no differential required. With the current system, I think you can just make an open diff with both outputs to the same wheel... I think thats what single engine aircraft do.
Try it with no torque reaction nodes, or try with the coupling node chosen near the axle and the arm node really far ahead?
What are you talking about man? The Le Gran is a beautiful car that will probably amazingly soft suspension so it will be great fun to drive, and if it has a body on frame chassis it will be the only front wheel drive car with one in the base game. I'd honestly love to have a car like that in real life eventually but something like that would probably be more expensive to maintain than I'd ever be able to afford
I also like American cars, but not the one in FWD, the only reason why I'm happy to get it IG is for crash it ^^
It will be nice to have a fwd car with good soft suspension unlike all the japanese cars in the game with their overly stiff suspensions.
How about the "4 wheeled vehicle loses 1 wheel scenario"? Currently that axle loses power completely, even with an LSD. Will that be improved wtih the new system? It sounds great so far. :-D
Depending on your diff choice it will do whatever it would do in real life. So an lsd or locked diff will continue to propulse your car, an open diff will have serious trouble...
so @tdev does that picture with the VR headsets mean you guys are going to try getting that working again?
Wait what happens to awd vehicles when you remove the front driveshafts after the differential update comes out? I mean would the power still go to the rear wheels?
