Regarding the 5.50 update - Chuck - 2022-10-03 04:29

I thought I'd create a thread regarding the recent 5.50 update
There have been a few questions around and I also want to add some background info:

1. Battery [Image: 5OS8AwY.png]

The "U" stands for "units" (couldn't think of anything better) as it isn't "%" anymore since you now can add extra batteries.
(Little addition: All EMS vehicles have their built-in 100U battery as before. Extra batteries add on top of that.)

2. The bikes have 4 slots (instead of zero) now (as originally planned). It should be enough to add a few things but no tow equipment.

3. Here's a brief overview of original plans (may differ a bit now):

Code:

Bicycle/scooter =  2 slots

Motorbikes      =  4 slots

Quad            =  5 slots (barely enough to carry a winch)

Average car     = 10 slots

Heavy SUV       = 15 slots (KORAMA R, JIIRO, HUMHII, HIIL0X IV, GG55 AMD, TAMAGO, TAMAGO EV)

Utility van     = 25 slots (DUPLATO VAN, DUPLATO FIRE ENGINE, CITY VAN 2500, GRUZ_RUNNER, LORD CLANSIT, MOVETRUCK)

Heavy truck     = 50 slots (LINE RUNNER IV, LINE RUNNER IVII)

Winch  = 5 slots

Ramp   = 12 slots (should be too much for a regular car)

Bridge = 18 slots (should be too much for a suv = heavy)

Crane  = 30 slots (should be too much for a van = super heavy) (possible future upgrade)

(I'll add the slot numbers to the garage screen and mod list)

4. Power/damage upgrades do add up (however, not literally)
Example: 3 speed upgrades:
100% (starting value)
+ 10% upgrade = 110%
+ 10% upgrade = 121%
+ 10% upgrade = 133.1%
So the base speed i.e. 160kph * 133.1% = 212 kph

Example: 3 damage upgrades:
100% (starting value)
- 10% upgrade = 90%
- 10% upgrade = 81%
- 10% upgrade = 72,9%
= Final crash factor = 72,9%

5. [Image: k4qIW7W.png]

If you see this then you're a bit lucky. Since happens when the "old" car had more items installed than the new car would allow. However, a future version of Insim will automatically remove items that do no longer fit in.

Feel free to post questions below.

Well, those items are quite big and would never fit on a normal car.
But more importantly, it gives the big vehicles, like the Duplato fire engine the meaning they deserve. If you, for instance, see a truck like this making its way through traffic and arriving on scene, you automatically know why it's there and what it 's purpose is on the scene.
I can't wait to see that happen.
