Also don't forget the extreme durability of some cars in general. My Sunbird functioned as an air-cooled vehicle for quite some time during the summer after I got sick of topping up the coolant (I've since replaced the disintegrated radiator gasket that was causing the leak). The temperature would occasionally creep into an almost-concerning area when stationary, but it never overheated and never skipped a freaking beat.

My Corolla is currently an air-cooled vehicle. It features very similar behavior when stopped and in traffic, but driving even at a remote speed cools it down to where it should be.

Good work with the termal thing guys. I just wait that someone ask you if there will be a termal effect when cigarette lighter is on

My corsa was a water cooled vehicle. It featured very similar behaviour when stopped and in traffic but driving even at remote speeds cools it down to where it should be. Opel crap for you

Does this new system make engine to over heat when driving top speed long periods ? How about transmission, is it somehow affected ?

Depending on Ambient Air Temp.. cars are very hard to overheat unless there is a problem...Radiator issues/Coolant level/fan related/... once u mess with cooling system then overheating is likely.. changing the rad settings to make them overheat easily is easy as pie.. a lower air speed of fan

groundmodels on 3d meshes: done

via the material file:
Code:
singleton Material(asphalt) {
...
    groundType = "asphalt";
};

singleton Material(sand) {
...
    groundType = "sand";
    groundDepth = 0.2;
};

singleton Material(mud) {
...
    groundType = "mud";
    groundDepth = 0.3;
};

I started to test a few things for Indianapolis, but how does it work? it does not seem to have anything on the wiki either.

Code:

singleton Material(gmt_grid)
{
    mapTo = "gmt_grid";
    diffuseMap[0] = "levels/groundmodeltest/art/terrain/grid_10_diff.dds";
   useAnisotropic[0] = "1";
};

singleton Material(gmt_grass)
{
    mapTo = "gmt_grass";
    diffuseMap[0] = "levels/groundmodeltest/art/terrain/Overlay_Grass-01.dds";
    groundType = "grass";
   useAnisotropic[0] = "1";
};

singleton Material(gmt_rockydirt)
{
    mapTo = "gmt_rockydirt";
    diffuseMap[0] = "levels/groundmodeltest/art/terrain/Overlay_RockyDirt.dds";
    groundType = "RockyDirt";
   useAnisotropic[0] = "1";
};

singleton Material(gmt_rock)
{
    mapTo = "gmt_rock";
    diffuseMap[0] = "levels/groundmodeltest/art/terrain/Rock-05-D.dds";
    groundType = "Rock";
   useAnisotropic[0] = "1";
};

singleton Material(gmt_sand)
{
    mapTo = "gmt_sand";
    diffuseMap[0] = "levels/groundmodeltest/art/terrain/Overlay_Sand-01.dds";
    groundType = "Sand";
    groundDepth = 0.01;
   useAnisotropic[0] = "1";
};

singleton Material(gmt_mud)
{
    mapTo = "gmt_mud";
    diffuseMap[0] = "levels/groundmodeltest/art/terrain/Overlay_mud_1.dds";
    groundType = "mud";
    groundDepth = 0.01;
   useAnisotropic[0] = "1";
};

singleton Material(gmt_ice)
{
    mapTo = "gmt_ice";
    diffuseMap[0] = "levels/groundmodeltest/art/terrain/Overlay_Ice-01.dds";
    groundType = "ice";
   useAnisotropic[0] = "1";
};

You have to add these

Code:

    groundType = "mud";
    groundDepth = 0.01;

To the 'materials.cs of your object, in the material you want to be affected from that part. You can find example in the ECA files, the town uses mesh for the grass in some parts.

Coincidentally, I tried it on Indianapolis too. It seems to ignore the groundTypes I set.

EDIT: Ah. It's because of the collision mesh...
