Maserati24 Posted May 30, 2020 Report Posted May 30, 2020 It doesnt make sense why cars (mostly sports cars) are locked to a specific speed limit (which is 200km/h). Well for me it will be more realistic if each of the sports cars or cars in general has its own limit (or beyond 240km/h) because it will not make sense to upgrade or change my car to a higher spec or higher priced car if the speed limit will be the same. It will be better if we can differentiate each car which is faster and which is not so it will be a motivation for us to get a higher class of sportscar. lets say for example NERO (bugatti) will be the same speed limit (240km/h) as Elegy Retro (skyline), why would I pay 1Mil if i can get the same speed with a cheaper car? Aesthetics are not enough to justify my upgrade from Elegy Retro to Nero. Well for me in reality Elegy Retro (skyline) can do more than 200km/h since Elegy retro is considered already as a sportscar. If police has a problem chasing those supercars because assuming that the speed limit (240km/h) has been removed it will be better for PD to get police supercars for high speed chase. Any thoughts about this topic for cars enthusiast?
CharlesXiao Posted May 30, 2020 Report Posted May 30, 2020 -1 I don't see why the 240 cap was even placed into effect. Its not like PD doesn't use a T20 or other high speed units. In face I haven't seen them use the T20 sense this new update rolled. Imo cap should be removed.
justpositivity Posted May 30, 2020 Report Posted May 30, 2020 +1 tho it would be better if they just removed the cap all together
Cadet Posted May 30, 2020 Report Posted May 30, 2020 remove the cap! PD vehicles could get a buff to make it even if that's the issue.

PD uses T20s and SD uses 811s, a crown vic already goes 220 on straight plus they both have helis that go faster than 240 so just remove the cap tbh. 1
Havana Posted June 13, 2020 Report Posted June 13, 2020 the police supercars are actually slower than the regular cruisers, because they are stock. we've been pushing to change that, so we wouldn't need a speed cap. The helicopter also only goes up to 240 at best. If it went 300 like it does irl, wouldn't be an issue
IAmTurtle Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 The cap was added due to gram rate issues at higher speed for people with low end pc. i do think though that the car max speeds should be reworked to go with this cap
Jessi Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 Remove the cap. It would be way effective for the upgrades.
Marca Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 What about the FPS issue with vehicle speeds? The cap is needed just because of that to keep it fair for everyone. 1 1
Shimo Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 The speed cap was imposed because players would intentionally lower their settings to gain advantage over others. It is not realistic to magically have your car go faster than another person purely because your PC is more powerful. 1
Machete Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 balancing is really good right now, however the Crown vic should be restricted to 215km/h for better balancing. 1
Yputi Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Most super cars dont even reach the 240 cap anyway. Only in the city with like bumps downhill mostly. Edited June 16, 2020 by Yputi
Yputi Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 I agree. And no, not because I own a super. But I hope people agree its a bit messed to see a Rapid GT pass while doing 195-205 in a Turismo. Also kinda gives me some Need For Speed feelings where every single cop car can catch up with the world best performing street cars. And Need For Speed is an arcade racing game. This is all a bout realism.
Xypint Posted June 17, 2020 Report Posted June 17, 2020 I'm down for removing the cap. It was fine as is. maybe nerf the retro if the issue was them hitting 300+. The cap altogether was a little dissapointing. PD should lose some pursuits. IRL, cops cant catch all the fast cars. Also, the tollbooths make it harder for PD to lose high-speed cars since they can't just do top speed runs around the map anymore. (maybe even add more tolls :DDD)

Because really the cap is depressing it feels like it doesn't justify the features of a sports car or supercar if we limit them using speed cap.
Havana Posted June 23, 2020 Report Posted June 23, 2020 The abuse of game mechanics by turning down settings, kicking tires, etc to take advantage of compressions is depressing and if we cannot conduct ourselves fairly and fall victim to play to win strategies like this, a speed cap is the result. I personally would prefer if PD vehicles were simply more realistic. It seems that someone figured out how to give each faction a differently spec-ed crown victoria, so i would expect that they would be able to do the same with the police T20. and there is no reason why the helicopter would not be able to be boosted to 300 to keep up with all the Rapids, just like the eurocopter does IRL
kenichis Posted June 23, 2020 Report Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) The speed cap basically makes highway racing which was already pretty boring even more boring when you feel like using a top speed oriented car. I think balancing between the servers criminal players and police players shouldn't impose a script that limits actions for players outside of those 2 groups. I would +1 to remove the cap.

Machete Posted June 23, 2020 Report Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) -1 Cap is really good. in terms of balancing. However some fast sports cars should drive 240 Regardless of your PC specs, please buff these vehicles, and add a sportscar that achieves this so that everyone would be able to get these speeds. Not just the rich The crown vic, goes 230 regardless of your computer, or hitting bumps. same should happen to the comet retro, gauntlet hellfire and rapid GT Edited June 23, 2020 by NM369 2

Machete Posted June 23, 2020 Report Posted June 23, 2020 the big problem is that the fast cars require speed bumps, which doesnt happen that often so cruisers that go 230 just keep up.
Lewis Posted June 23, 2020 Report Posted June 23, 2020 Hello! The cap of 240 was introduced due to certain cars being able to exceed 300+ with the exploitation of game bugs or by having a higher FPS than others. We are not going to remove this cap for said reason. This cap did not introduce a nerf for super cars as super cars weren't able to go over their current top speed pre-240 cap implementation, no vehicles had their top speed lowered other than those affected by these broken game mechanics. I will not lock this suggestion, however, if it continues derail into another topic that promotes the attack on a faction in terms of "nerfing" them, when the original poster has nothing in their suggestion to suggest that was their goal, then I will. The original poster wants to increase the speed of supers and sports cars (those that don't go much over 200 by default) to be in their own opinion, more realistic. Again, the cap of 240 will not be removed as the only vehicles that can achieve that speed or higher (currently) are those affected by broken game mechanics, such as bumps - swerving - tire kicking or higher FPS. Quote It doesnt make sense why cars (mostly sports cars) are locked to a specific speed limit (which is 200km/h). Well for me it will be more realistic if each of the sports cars or cars in general has its own limit (or beyond 240km/h) because it will not make sense to upgrade or change my car to a higher spec or higher priced car if the speed limit will be the same. It will be better if we can differentiate each car which is faster and which is not so it will be a motivation for us to get a higher class of sportscar. lets say for example NERO (bugatti) will be the same speed limit (240km/h) as Elegy Retro (skyline), why would I pay 1Mil if i can get the same speed with a cheaper car? Aesthetics are not enough to justify my upgrade from Elegy Retro to Nero. Well for me in reality Elegy Retro (skyline) can do more than 200km/h since Elegy retro is considered already as a sportscar. If police has a problem chasing those supercars because assuming that the speed limit (240km/h) has been removed it will be better for PD to get police supercars for high speed chase. Any thoughts about this topic for cars enthusiast? 1
Maserati24 Posted June 23, 2020 Author Report Posted June 23, 2020 If only game mechanics is not being abused by others then this cap thing shouldn't be existing rightnow.
Xoza Posted June 27, 2020 Report Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) +1 to spreading out speeds across different vehicles and there values between 180-240kph. Removing the cap is not viable however, in addition we have to consider server stress and data streaming limitations when it comes to speeds. I have talked to someone about setting the vehicles to 'factory stats' based on the game files, but they may be worse then what we currently have. Edited June 27, 2020 by Xoza
