I recently saw a post by gabester concerning the future of off roading in the game "Yes, we plan to have a menu that you can open to do every possible thing you'd do in real life with a complex 4WD (or more) system... locking diffs, low gear, high gear, etc. We are well aware of the stuff that needs to be done It is all planned. We are just a small team with limited resources; we cannot clone ourselves " Seeing as this will be off roading will become more intuitive in the future, I thought I would post some ideas I had to make it more fun. For one, I think that this game really needs a snorkel so you could actually drive in some water. Not to mention, it would look awesome. A winch would be cool as well, allowing you to get out of some sticky situations (which happen all to often in game right now).
Snorkels are already possible but its up to the person making the mod to add it, as for the winches it will be interesting to see how they are done.
Snorkel is doable The engine water kill works simply by defining the top 4 nodes of the engine as "intake" nodes. You could add a part that simply changes the intake node to be somewhere up the A-pillar where your snorkel is, and add a snorkel mesh.
It should be possible to code adjustable tire pressure (live in-game). Estama would know more about this as he coded the tire pressure system.
1 more idea i want to put on this thread its not physics or part car truck etc based, its more mission based trial offroad missions i think would be pretty cool to see in this game here is a vid as a example. i know a few maps have done this but i really want to see one of the devs do this with the new race update thats coming soon and make a leaderboard for it like RoR did with a few maps.
