Making the i8 that Automation can't (BeamNG) 

i feel like Automation could work with Ange to make like some sort of actual "anything goes" engine maker instead of like presets that you just put in, so that the less advanced players (like me) could easily make a stupid engine, and convert it to beamng in just 2 clicks

This is dope. That engine is hanging on for dear life very creative nice work

packard made beautiful straight eights, they were fantastic

39:10 There's a UI app that shows airspeed, which without wind should be pretty much the true speed the vehicle is going (dunno if Beam does anything about air pressure with that instrument though; does it even have different atmospheric pressures in different maps?)

In-line 8's are needed because several 30's and 40's cars used them Mercedes and Cadillac also because with the additions of Super Chargers some real monsters can be created and 30's GP cars should any bodies come to the game. this 8 still sounds to much like a V8 than an in-line 8 . still a very good effort.

There's a vanilla parcel shelf fixture that conforms to the body and creates a 90 deg wall to the surface you put it on, you could use that on the firewall.

Hi, on the engine simulator you can press space bar to slowly release the cluth like in a real car 😉

Once i get the hang of engine swaps i will swap the hopper engine with this but this look like fun

man how many automation mods are you using? I haven't played the game in like 4 or 5 years, how many of those fixtures and features are modded?

Now I want to see you make this with as much traction as you can.

Automation leaves a LOT on the table. It could be so much more. Is it like one guy working on it in his basement?

I can't imagine this being turbo'd

It's not glitching, it's just burning the tires.

Those kind of cars don’t really use wire wheels they use dog dish hub caps

2:04 you gotta use parentheses

what mod are you using to get the extra intake options?

theres a youtube channel called coldwarmotors that has tons of straight 8s for design ideas

please... how yo do for having custom exhaust works ? ... im so sad to not understand that... sorry for my bad english im french

I thought you were doing the BMW i8 Hybrid.

Look up a Packard straight 8

Rear wheels go *screeeeeeeeeeee*

Wow

Point and WHAT???

We absolutely need Automation, ANGE, BeamNG to seemlessly work together

You, Ange and Automation are getting closer to the BeamNG engine creator/designer feature that I’ve always wanted implemented. Now if only we could get BeamNG physics refined enough to actually race lol

Next up you should do a big and powerful 1 cylinder engine plssss on a car

As a rat rod and hot rod fan I love this a lot.

you can use the vehicle airspeedometer to get the car's airspeed rather than the average of its wheelspeeds

19:39 the fumes go right on the driver's side, imagine the windows are open too, _mwwwah, belissimo_

Actually there are quite a bit usa built i8s, like Buick, Packard, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Chrysler, Duesenberg...and also, the image you took as inspiration was a straight 8 with intake and exhaust on the same side, anyway you satisfied one of my curiosities with this video: having a straight 8 in beamng

Haha tyre go eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I have a 288 inline 8 packard and it sounds VERY similar to your simulation engine up to about 4000 RPM "its redline that i cannot really pass"

Yes! I’ve been waiting for straight 8s in Automation for the longest time (among other quirky layouts). I love straight 8s and flat 8s because they buck the trend of 8 cylinder engines being v’s. Would be interesting to see a flat or straight 8 in a full size truck (maybe a diesel).

I would love a segment of the video of you just driving without talking just to hear the engine in-game But great work, the car looks and sounds sick

I just bought automation today, been playing beamng for 2 years and I'm big into simulation stuff and I like to get into the nitty gritty with games. So glad I found your channel as this is exactly the sort of content I'm after, really awe inspiring stuff man and I love your presentation and editing. You seem like a cool person. You've got a new subscriber :-)

It's like a V8 but less American.

Imagine automation with transverse leafsprings

This car drives like I feel in the morning after a night in the pub.

The "straight twelve" around two minutes is a straight six. Six ports for intake, six for exhaust. But yeah, not the eight you were looking for.

Honestly, that’s not a bad shade of green. It looks more like an industrial engine, like the ones used for generators and water pumps for ships

Can’t wait to try it out with a wheel, must be terrifying! You should’ve tried it with different wheels (probably drag slicks) to see how it does with more traction, but great video nonetheless!

You should make a v4 engine I haven’t really seen any cars have them

"That's a straight 12." Actually, it isn't, it's a straight six or a straight four. The intake and exhaust ports are on the same side of the head, so it's almost definitely a flathead design. How do I know this? Follow the carbs! What's confusing from that image, however, is whether or not it's a straight 6, in which there are the requisite 2 pipes (one intake, one exhaust) per cylinder, or a mind boggling one intake and TWO?! exhaust pipes per cylinder, because the intakes seem to go straight in. The one "diagonal" exhaust pipe exit obscures this. Weird! Something else that got to me was that "straight 8" yielded no results. Did you try "Straight eight" or "inline 8/eight"?

Automation needs to add L Heads, Air Cooling, Inline 8s, and, Flat 12s.

Totalbiscuit is alive and doing car design - I did a doubletake when I watched this video, lol.

"not right for this time period" Auto Union Typ C Streamline 400kmh+ mate :D absolut death trap that thing

1:45 it’s probably a reverse flow head. So the exhaust and intake are on the same side. We’re too spoiled now by near universal cross flow designs.

Maybe you should work with devs BeamNG or Automation

Tomorrow im going to donlowad this monster. Im in love

Welcome to my real life struggle im a buick man and got a 51 special with a straight 8 and the only performance for the motor you can get is roller cam for 1,500 and a factory dual carb intake for about 1,500. But custom exhaust im not sure but ive heard hooker can make them. So you gotta custom make everything which is welding cast iron

My parents used to own an inline 8. 52 plymouth

i belive the carb you where looking at was a updraft carb not entirely sure but plane equipment might be very different seeing its very high altitude

I just need someone to make a download tutorial for engine sim

What about giving the engine a new mesh that looks closer to what you would actually see from these types of engines.

At this point automation will be embarressed.

I swear Google purposely shows you the wrong thing because I can never find what I'm searching and it gets annoying

90mph is a shitbox from 29 years ago in 1946 would have been blisteringly fast.

I think you meant Colin Chapman's ethos about handling rather than Gordon Murray's

I wish I could have the patience and knowledge and computer power to mess with games and meshes and make mods

I don't understand how they can have a v16 but no straight 8 option

that moment when you accidentally recreate a 1938 oldsmobile straight 8 coupe kinda funny very interesting also u greatly underestimated the technology and knowledge of the time

@filman86; At 5:15 you used the menu called "Advanced Car Trim Aesthetic Setting" i have never seen that on my game, how did you get that?

Buick straight 8 “fire ball” please

i just want opposed piston diesel and shit or single cylender in beamng lmfao

It's farmer green, but looks better here than military green would

The amount of customization is awesome

mmmm, now THIS is the sort of scratch-building I wish I could do on automation

Forgot to ask how do i add the engine to my automation cars

I would like an inline 5 to make an RS3 alike engine.

I think i ate the i8 because meme’s !!! 😂

cant wait to give this car a 6000 psi supercharger and make it even deadlier 💀💀

As someone who "daily drives" the Firehawk in BeamNG, I tried this glorious creation, and wholeheartedly approve. So much fun. Thanks for not being one of those who never puts their work on the repository. You're a hero.

PERIOD TIME... Roflmao, of the period, time of the period! era ?

put an angle kit on it and you sir have a drift machine

In my opinion olive green looks more military

You earned my sub with straight 8

Can you make window damage in an automation vehicle?

does anyone know what the name of the mod is

17:54 My secret is to be a good person and not be a bad person and not be a bad guy and not be a bad one to be a bad friend and be a bad.

woulda been really funny if you did vertical exhaust pipes in a stair step config first pipe is really short and the last one is really tall and all the ones in between slowly get taller

Ever thought of doing twins? It's crazy that with all the post-WW2 cars powered by twins, Automation won't let you power your car with them. And twins are so easy to make, you'd think, that there would be I2s (both east-west and north-south), 45° and 90° V2s and boxer twins.

How is everyone getting the different updates on the engine mods? I still don't see a way to adjust things like spring stiffness, number of turbos, etc.

Hey filman, make a 90’s V20 supercar

Buick and Packard: *Sniff!* You've done us proud child!

I noticed this in a few of your videos. You primarily use Google images to get references. I used Google images for a long time as well, however I promise you, Bing/Yandex hell even duck duck go's search engine for reference images is 1000x better... I don't know what happened to Google/Google images, but after experimenting for a while, I discovered Google is one of the worst search engines now... For example, I just wanted vague measurements of an "average sized" katana. I searched for key terms in Google, ten different ways, and couldn't find anything usable. Every other search engine gave me exactly what I was looking for on the first click... Highly recommend expanding your searches, it absolutely helped me.

13:02 when you turn into hank hill

Why doesn't my automation look like this... I can't do half of this stuff. What am I doing wrong?

inline 8

13:00 he transforms into hank hill

This car is crazy

i8 sports car?

I think my girlfriend knows as much about engines as this guy

Love it!

You should make the rear wheels wider

as someone who owns a car with an inline 8, thanks lol

_Sees _*_L O R G E_*_ engines are possible with this engine sim_ Hmm.

Jesus. Watching someone who knows nothing about engines try and make an engine is highly frustrating

Pretty awesome I8, subscribed!

could you make your screen Aspect ratio to 16 by 9

The engine dies itself when you turn it off 😂
