WolfEater Posted Jan 3, 2008, 4:23 pm	about the tyre: i dislike very much this idea of damging tyre. what about make difrante terrain will give difrante grip= difrante speed for difrante Engine CHasis Tyre. sand will get u sow slow if u arn't with offroad tyre's as u will lose grip with sand if u dont got big tyre's and in right shape for best grip on sand terrain. Snow will get u lost in grip without needed tyer's Mountain/Rocked terrain will make u go very slow jump a lil in the air so alot of grip lose and dmg to Lower rear front and left and right side's by rock's. so of couse u will get difrant off road tyer's or if u dont want just 1 offroad tyer's

First, not sure it should be black; it's still dust after all, not smoke. perhaps a bit more transparency, or a color change, or both? Second, on a recent return with 21 vehicles in the squad, the dust was so thick we could barely see our cars. The pursuing enemy (10 or 11, I think) wasn't much better off.

I think the dust should make the cars almost indistiguishable Mark....Especially with that many cars on the road going as fast as they can. Makes it more realistic I would think.

Makes it more realistic I would think. I would agree with this if we were on Sandy, or Highway to Hell perhaps, but on the map we were on (Gates of Somerset, from Elms, IIRC), driving on either the road, or the grassy/hard-packed turf shouldn't generate *that* much dust, IMO.
