Dumb question

[devel]

Why are vehicles able to start right after being pulled out of the water?

 

[Pixel]

The game simply doesn't account for water damage to the engine like other games would.

 

[devel]

Then what about the fact that they can't start while still in the water?

Well, this is just how RoR™ was programmed to be. (At least it adds some form of realism)

 

[devel]

Alright, guess that's a reasonable answer

This happens only when all cinecams (interior cameras) are submerged. It actually has nothing to do with the engine simulation.

 

[devel]

So if I were to somehow only submerge the cameras, but not the car, the engine would shut off?

Yes.

 

[devel]

Guess that makes sense.

Guess that makes sense.

Also, if the car is submerged, but not the cinecam, the engine will still work.

 

[devel]

So it all depends on the cameras, not the car. Got it.
