See the question...  ;)

Raw specifications: soon (I have to work a bit now  :D).

Bugatti Veyron
Top speed: ~235 on flat track, but it has powergear (critical speed on a ramp: ~225 mph)
Acceleration: torque curve is based on the factory data, so the acceleration is realistic under 180 mph (a bit worse than Indy)
Brakes: ~1.2 g (quite a good one)
Handling in corners: somewhere between Audi and IMSA

Ikarus 260
Top speed: 75 mph (forget the jumps) :D
Acceleration: hopeless
Brakes: crappy
Handling in corners: 60 mph is a challenge in big curves

Porsche 550 Spyder
Top speed: ~145 mph (strict RPM limitation)
Acceleration: slightly better than Audi (lightweight bodywork)
Brakes: average
Handling in corners: Countach level

Skoda 120
Top speed: ~110 mph
Accelaration: 60 HP, shall I say more? :D
Brakes: quite bad
Handling in corners: between Ikarus and Countach

Subaru Impreza WRC
Top speed: ~180 mph (strict RPM limitation)
Acceleration: like GTO
Brakes: good, but not excellent
Handling in corners: asphalt - slightly better than Audi; grip on dirt, ice and grass is quite good compared to other rally cars

Top Fuel dragster
Top speed: 245 mph
Acceleration: rocket
Brakes: quite good
Handling in the corners: nightmare (a bit worse than Ikarus) and since acceleration is incredibly good, it's really hard to complete a corner at the proper speed :D

And the airplanes... no specifications so far, only plans:

Antonov AN-2
Top speed: ~130 mph
Acceleration: similar to LM002 (quite a small airplane)
Brakes: worse than an average car
Handling in the corners: bad, but not terrible (surface dependence of grip is not so important, usually they don't use asphalted runways)

Antonov AN-225 Mriya
Top speed: ~150 mph
Acceleration: really bad (~300 tons, hard start from standstill; ~50 seconds to reach takeoff speed)
Brakes: a lot worse than an average car
Handling in the corners: terrible (especially if you leave the asphalted parts)

Boeing 747-8F
Top speed: ~180 mph
Acceleration, brakes and grip: a bit better than Mriya

why not an all-custom-cars (planes) tournament? that would be interesting :)

I had an idea like that but...

- too much effort (I have about 20 unfinished vehicles), too few pipsqueaks
- USC is traditionally an IMSA/Melange/Indy/Audi/Lancia based competition
- Akoss Poo (as a potential pipsqueak, main guest designer and emergency manager of the competition) denied this option. Even if I hate his narrow-minded bullshit (not only in Stunts), sometimes he's not as stupid as he looks like. Poo: I said sometimes. :P

Maybe as a special event, like USL - if there are at least 6 pipsqueaks to participate.

About the current season:

- 12 races (3 tracks from Akoss Poo)
- 2 or 3 new cars
- 1 or 2 old cheat cars (Melange and maybe Skoda Felicia - with custom bodywork)
- the rest: Jaguar, P962, Indy, Audi, Lancia, Countach or GTO, Corvette or Acura, LM002 or Carrera

Subaru Impreza seems to be far the most popular choice.

Subaru and Spyder are in, Veyron is still fighting.

I'm really curious about the Spyder...

Nothing interesting. It's a slow one, without any special skills - even with changing the factory specifications to my NFS Porsche settings.

So, it's time to finish at least one car...  ::)

Now only the mass is a crucial question (http://wiki.stunts.hu/index.php/Power_gear_bug).

Flip a coin? Or two versions? :P

: dreadnaut  May 21, 2013, 11:36:26 +02:00
two versions? :P

Actually there are more options. I prefer the bugless one.

I think two versions would be very ok. And Subaru and PG come together well, doesn't they? :)

One version is enough (even if you have Dup's car swapper program). And no, Subaru won't be a PG car - I keep it for the Veyron. Actually Veyron's (real life) top speed is a lot more than 245 mph (as far as I remember it was ~268 mph).

I suppose PG or not-PG is not too important, as long as the car is interesting and fun too drive. So make it cool and different from the other cars already available!  We'll trust you on this (and only this ;D )

We'll trust you on this

The "draft" version will be published soon (without custom dashboard).

Actually you can trust me also in wine drinking, farting and spamming. :D

Maybe on the 'G' track. Btw do you have a guess for that track name? :D

I'll be happy even with a single new car.  ::)

: CTG  January 24, 2013, 02:46:58 +01:00
- 12 races (3 tracks from Akoss Poo)

One Poo track is still left. Which month would you like to take, Dacjuk?

: CTG  January 24, 2013, 02:46:58 +01:00
- 2 or 3 new cars

Uhm... well... it would be nice to finish at least one of them, but currently I have no time.

Completed, fvck Skoda!

Done, one slot is reserved for that, one slot is reserved for that (yeah, 2 Indy races in a year is a tradition^*, how could I forget it in January), in action, done, done (Countach), both done, both cancelled. So it seems the three remaining races (not in this order): P962, Indy, Subaru or other custom cars (maybe not my own one).

^* We had two Indy races in all of the full seasons: 2003 - Eger, Jósvafö; 2004/05 - Miskolc, Tihany; 2005/06 - Alkmaar, Córdoba; 2006/07 - Hatvan, Zalaegerszeg; 2007/08 - Kassa, Záhony; 2008/09 - Eszék, Zólyom

I would prefer the Indy or the P962 track for the race after Ibadan.

Official: Poo will build the 'J' track for P962.
