#GEARCITY RACE MANUAL#

Increase Braking slider about 4 clicks to the right.

Make sure to select your Engine in the ' Does Engine Fit?' area, and move both the Wheelbase and Track sliders to the left making sure that the Engine fits in the Chassis accordingly.

And move the Frame Weight slider all the way to the right.

Move the Frame Height slider to all the way to the left.

Move both the Maximum Supported Engine Length and Width sliders all the way to the left.

Again, I reduce the Material Quality, Component Quality, Technology, and Manufacturing Techniques (found in the Design Technology tab) by 5 clicks to the left each.Front and Rear Suspension both set to Leaf Spring (This is because Leaf Spring is extremely durable, and a Phaeton must be very reliable).Carriage Frame is the only available option.Project Cost (Set Development Pace to 12 months): $4,303.Material Cost: $121 (I always aim for $150 or less).

(You also don't have to do this, but it reduces Material Costs by about $3). And decrease Dependability slider by 2 clicks to the left.Increase Shifting Ease by 3 clicks to the right so that the Smoothness Rating is also 36.Move the Fuel Economy slider once to the right so that the Fuel Rating is 36.Then, I move the Performance Focus slider to the right 7 clicks (just for extra measure, you don't really have to do this as Performance is not important for the Phaeton).I then move the Low-End Gearing slider all the way to the right pointing to ' Fuel Economy.' And High-End Gearing slider all the way to the left pointing to ' Torque.'.Once again, I reduce the Material Quality, Component Quality, Technology, and Manufacturing Techniques (found in the Design Technology tab) by 5 clicks to the left each.( Transaxle Add-on also costs a tad bit much). I do NOT select the Transaxle as Performance is NOT important for the Phaeton. And just Reverse Gear for the Add-ons.

#GEARCITY RACE MANUAL#

Non-Synchronized Manual is the only GearBox type available.Project Cost (Set Development Pace to 12 months): $12,073.Materical Cost: $168 (I always aim for $200 or less). And reduce Dependability by 2 clicks to the left ( precisely 2). I then increase Fuel Economy by 2 clicks to the right (again, precisely 2).Giving us a 5hp at 1060RPM and 20 lb-ft torque at 530RPM. I then increase Revolutions by 7 clicks to the right ( precisely 7) and Engine Torque by 5 clicks to the right ( precisely 5).So, I set the Bore and Stroke both to 102.72 (giving us an 851 cc engine or a 0.851L engine). I always aim for a 5hp engine in the beginning.I then increase the Length, Width, and Weight of the engine all the way up (meaning sliding the sliders all the way to the right).(I usually always go with 5 clicks but it won't work with the Single Cylinder Engine since by doing so, smoothness is reduced drastically). I reduce the Material Quality, Component Quality, Technology, and Manufacturing Techniques (found in the Design Technology tab) by 3 clicks to the left each.(Later on I choose an OHC or a DOHC when available). I then select the L-Valve in the early games as it is the most balanced and cheapest.

Meaning that one can design a cheap engine as well as a cheap small chassis due to the engine being small).

I start with a Single Cylinder Engine (this is because you can make the engine as big and powerful as possible and it will still fit in any chassis.

However, the Sedan is slightly more popular).

I always design a Phaeton first as it is the most popular in New York.

I would be happy to share my super early game designs.įirst of all, in 1900, I start in New York or London (although I have had the most success in New York):
