The crashing sound

[AE86THETIC]

I thought that it would be cool to add a different sound than the windshield breaking when you hit something at a dangerous speed. Since you do this all the time in this game, why not add a crushing sound or just a loud boom?

[Mikhail Reign]

Why boom? Cars don't normally explode....

[Kubix]

I would like just to hear other sounds but similar just to not hear 1 sound effect over and over again

[AE86THETIC]

Okay, a "bang" then

[Udenszirnis]

Maybe the sound of metal folding? Maybe add a sound for fuel tank falling off?

[AE86THETIC]

There is a sound of the fuel tank falling off

This should give you a good idea. Now the impact sounds here aren't the best either.
But for the most part, especially when the engine dies or cuts off after a heavy damage type crash, after this occurs there wouldn't be alot of other sounds, except maybe from loose parts, radiator cause now it's damaged/breached the liquid has come in contact with the hot engine, so there could be the steam sound from that... Player and/or AI reactions/wounded sounds perhaps, tires screeching and such... then any other impact sounds to come should a vehicle then screech off into other objects, such as a tree. Maybe horn of AI driver who is dead, cause he's now impacted the steering wheel...


Here's those examples:

Yeah, I am talking about those sounds.
I think that radiator smoke should also occur.

It's really an after thought though. Nothing wrong with suggestions, especially when it comes to realism and such if the game is aiming for any sort of that.

But effects, better audio... these are things you would do at a later time.
The Dev is more interested in bug fixes, overall features, and getting the Map setup to how this in-game is going to be. All of which are at a much more up-most importance at the moment whenever a game is in the earlier stages.

I know he is, there is a lot of more major things that need improving and fixing but this is what this is about. We are giving feedback on what we would like to see in the game or improved while the developer works on making the game as much playable and enjoyable. We are saving him time discussing this here, just like in the case of a second car

Yea I think also the idea of different cars you could collect and build up later down the road would be awesome. I think later on, instead of selling those junked cars, you should have a choice, sell them, or take them home and start rebuilding it. This obviously would have to happen much latter, after the Mechanic has all been changes to have available parts / upgrades; like the Dev was saying with regards to eventually having ability to re-order Stock / Racing parts and have them spawn in again as extra items; in case other items already owned get lost or simply de-spawn/fall through map or whatever the case may be.

I think a simple start for this is, changing the Car Magazine system; so purchased items would be marked in a way, but also allow them to be re-ordered again as well.

The Muscle Car (Ferndale) needs some serious fixing too. It shouldn't just take off when in R or D when on level ground, Auto-Trans or not. And if its going to be a four-door, then those should function; like how the sliding door and rear door works on the Delivery Van.

[AE86THETIC]

And it should behave like a real automatic, shifting from 2 to 1 should have a delay etc.
Of course the Ferndale is RWD and has 190 hp, making it very hard to drive but I think the physics and the suspension settings on it are messed up
