GtaFanatik Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Well, I don't know if it was noticed or not, but since I didn't saw it here, I've decided to post it. We already know that if you hit the gas tank and the fuel starts leaking, the Fuel gauge moves to "empty" and the engine goes off. Same thing goes to the Temperature gauge: You shoot the engine until the dark smoke comes up, then go to your car and try to start it. After several attempts, it will start. Your temperature gauge will be between the middle and the "H". Go for a driving (preferably at Highway). You will notice that the engine tries to turn off and it will start backfiring. The car will start overheating and the gauge will move to the H. The engine switches off and catches fire and, after some minutes, it will explode. It's such a nice detail and i didn't noticed it until today... Edited December 11, 2014 by GtaFanatik CH328 and Frito-Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurotrash Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I noticed this one, but I actually hadn't noticed the fuel gauge. I thought it was locked on Full permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fefenc Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Is there a way to use a fire extinguisher to prevent the car from blowing up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRkL3AD3R Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Now that's that Rockstar detail I love. Fire extinguisher would be a logical step into turning this into an actual thing players can deal with, but chances are it'll never happen and nothing more will come of it besides a cool indicator that the car is failing.

GtaFanatik Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Is there a way to use a fire extinguisher to prevent the car from blowing up? You could try with a fire truck. I've seen a couple in the streets extinguishing the fire of a downed helicopter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakosuka Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 That's pretty awesome, actually. I wish cars would overheat if you pushed them too much. As in, if you kept trying to do drifts, or a really long burnout, the car will start to overheat and if it overheats for a long time, maybe the engine will blow. Not sure if anybody else would enjoy this, but that feature would be pretty cool in my opinion. Mr Tomato 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah details like this are what R* does so well with, but it's a shame that they don't fully flesh these things out. Imagine if the gas and temperature of the engine wasn't just an instrument on the dashboard but something that was an important part of the game play.

Youruiner Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I've seen cars leak fuel and leave a trail you can shoot and start a fire , and that's awesome .. But where can you shoot on the car to make the fuel tank leak? (Show me maybe like car.. I'm Sure it's different on all of them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A5R Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Is there a way to use a fire extinguisher to prevent the car from blowing up? I have noticed that as soon as the engine catches fire, if you stop your car then it mostly doesn't blow up. It will extinguish after a while but your cars engine will die. But if you continue going when your engines on fire then it always blows up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zondar Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Good spot OP. One thing that kind of bothers me about the cars' dash's though is the rev counters. They've got a sabre turbo topping out about 8500. I don't think any modern yank V8 goes above 7K nevermind a 40 year old one. The Massacro's the same, while the Carbonizzare only goes to about 6500. Surely it should be the other way round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiniArc Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Man thats awesome.Thanks for the detail I will surely see it when I get my PC game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It moves as he starts the engine and very slowly rises as the feds are shooting at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4huz Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 It doesn't just happen when you shoot the engine up. It happens whenever the engine is on, in the middle. Atleast for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
