Vehicle engine mechanics

This may not happen for a long time, but engine temperature should be taken into account. Engines need to warm up in really cold environments, or they overheat it hot ones. Coolant will be needed for engines to work, whether water will work, or special coolant for different cars. I want engines to be as in depth as possible, with fan belts, filters, brake fluid, everything.

If going for ultra realism then we need to make fuel economy more realistic. A half of a jerry can in a giant truck shouldnt get you anywhere. Not to mention certain vehicles could be deisel or gas. Also, old gas is pretty useless with all the ethenol in it. Plus we will have to get in to changing fuel filters and brakes. Plus power steering fluid. Maybe alternators and distriubtors. We could eventually turn this in to a mechanic sim and have to collect entire tool sets to do these types of repairs. Socket sets, jacks, multimeters, timing lights, feeler gauges for doing your valve clearances and what not. Plus heavy duty hydraulic hoists since many jobs like doing a suspension would require the massive truck to be up in the air.

Seems like the game would never get finished if it keeps evolving to different life aspect sims.

Just my two cents though lol

I understand that. Things need to be simplified for gameplay. I just want it to be more in depth than the mod. But for components, only the necessities. Carberator, alternator, battery, coolant, fan belt, spark plugs, oil, maybe even the entire engine block needs to be replaced. Also, I think certain parts should be able to be slightly repaired, instead of complete replacement.

Amusingly enough, the blood system for players could be almost copypasted for vehicles. Blood types, bleeding, etc. just slightly changed to fit the concept.

Please. Do it, Bohemia. If you want to make cars practical, make it to where I have to go look up the manufacturers repair manual to repair the vehicle.
