Hello, why are jato allowed? I think we should talk about it before allowing them. I remind you that it is a mod.

Hello Lidentifiant, JATO for the D-Series, MD-Series, T-Series and the Bus are in unmodded vanilla BeamNG.drive. You can attach JATO to these vehicle via the configuration menu or the garage. Because JATO is part of the base game and it is not beating every single Time Trial with ease, we decided to allow it.

I find it a shame because now the runs no longer make any sense, and JATO destroys all competition.

maybe a variable to filter between JATO and non JATO runs could solve the issue.

it would allow both strats to exists without endangering the existence of the other. Kinda like on trackmania where there are optimal runs with all the exploits and cleaner runs as well.

If its in the base game, why is it a problem?

if its the fastest way, then people should learn how to use it

I see it like Airwreck. This is speedrunning. Whatever is the fastest should be represented on our leaderboards. Otherwise why did we not ban the scintilla when it came out? It destroyed the whole competition and made almost every other run obsolete! I think JATO doesnt even come close to what the scintilla has done xD. This reminds me of the argument about assists, and we came to the conclusion that we want to see the lowest times possible, and if that requires (vanilla BeamNG.drive) assists, so be it :D

Edit: If we would have hundreds maybe thousands of active runners, yes there would be a category for every small thing you could think of. But right now it just doesnt make sense to increase the amount of runs on the leaderboard even more ^^
