Here's the one screenshot I took on Sunday

My XBL runs out on Saturday, so I won't be available for the next 3 weeks (including this weekend), and because of this I'm thinking of hosting a lobby tomorrow at 6PM GMT/2PM EDT if there's enough people willing to join.

Plan is to start with a round of Most Wanted featuring the 1990 Chevy Camaro IROC-Z, tuned to the top of C Class, going from the Coober Pedy gas station to a farm right next to the Timber Mill, and possibly have an open patrol afterward, if there's enough interest for it.

Most Wanted route is 4.6 miles and should take around 3 minutes if the racer sticks to the route and stays on the roads.

Note: I think all C Class cars shouldn't exceed 350HP, for both cops and racers, to keep it balanced.

I'll make another post tomorrow for people to like so I can see how many will be able to turn up.

Sounds like a plan... except there's one problem for me: too early. I'm still in school at that time. :(

You could always join while the lobby is still in progress, or if it's more convenient for everyone I could easily move it back an hour or two.
 
As an FYI, I definitely will not be available on Saturday if we do something. (Probably not, but whatever)
 
From what I've been hearing, the C-Class is quite broken in terms of overpowered cars. Does anyone have any ideas for how to fix this imbalance?

I think a way of making it more balanced is to limit the power of cars in C Class, and I think 350HP is a good number for that since that's what the heavier cars can get (CVPI can have around 300HP with some weight reduction). When I was talking to @ZDUPH about it on FH3 he said that making everyone use street tyres would be another fix although that would mean pretty much any car already high in C Class would be unable to be used since I think most of them get bumped up to B just from the street tyres.

Nothing over 400 HP?

Or rather, all cars must be stock?

Checking the power outputs of the C-Class cars, the most powerful was the '70 Chevelle at 450HP. Seems a little excessive. Preferably, I don't want to have to ban any cars outright as a silver-bullet solution. As for stock cars, that could work, but then it would probably lead to some cars being heavily used over others. We could make it so that racer vehicles have to be stock while cop cars can be tuned to the top of their class, but then that would make it a bit unfair for the racers. It's a tricky issue, this.

I get your last point. Building up a '60 Corvette, I used street tires to get rid of the whitewalls, which meant I then had to build it into B-Class.

It seems like a power restriction is looking like the best option so far.

If we did that I think it would need to be more than just a power restriction for each class as, quite obviously, a 350HP MX-5 is a whole lot quicker than a 350HP Transit. Basing it around a power/weight ratio limiter I think would be best, and it could even prevent having massively overpowered cars in other classes as well.
 
Power-to-weight! I did not think of that. We'll need to figure out the best P2W ratios for the C-Class and other classes, but I feel that THIS could be the key.

Some proposals for each class, although I have yet to test how effective they would be, purely based on the P/W ratios of stock cars at the top of each class (as close to 1000KG as possible).

Note: 1 Tonne = 1000KG/2200lbs

C Class: 150 BHP/Tonne (Mazda MX-5 ND - 155HP/2310lbs)
B Class: 200 BHP/Tonne (Alumi Class 10 - 196HP/2200lbs)
A Class: 300 BHP/Tonne (Opel Manta 400 - 275HP/2183lbs)
S1 Class: 500 BHP/Tonne (Lancia Delta S4 Gr.B - 480HP/2116lbs)
 
Can anyone who can make it to a lobby at 8PM GMT/4PM EDT (roughly 3.5 hours from now) like this post? We'll most likely be doing the Camaro MW scenario I posted yesterday.
 
Doesn't look like there isn't going to be enough people for a lobby but the session is up now regardless. If not enough people have joined by 8:30 GMT I'll just close the lobby
 
So, here is the plan for today:
- Open Patrol on Great Ocean Road
- Classic GCPD liveries
- C Class American and Australian muscle cars from the 60s and 70s.
- Time: don't know yet.

Here is what the livery looks like (inspired by @Firehound427's post a few a pages back):

​
Livery requirements (decals are up on my Storefront):
- Base color is the usual blue we use.
- White horizontal stripe with a height of .20.
- POLICE decal on side (size: .30).
- GCPD decal on the stripe (size: .20 - make it fit the stripe).
- All white rear bumper with POLICE decal (size: whatever fits).
- White wing (if applicable).
- POLICE decal on hood (size: .30).
- Black or dark gray wheels.

Car requirements:
- 1970s or 1960s.
- American or Australian.
- C class.
- Can be tuned to the max of the class limit (which is 600)​

Also, the little peninsula near the ship wrecks is fair game:

Ship wrecks are fair game too.​


If you have any questions just ask.​

That's an interesting change for once. Would love to join in, I just hope its within my time and not 2 in the morning.
 
Managed to renew my XBL so I should be able to make it provided it isn't too late
