Hello, i started a new game after a fairly long absence, but when designing an engine i noticed that the induction options have changed. I now can select none (is it the same as NA, or something different?), and all normal turbo's (except level 1 fuel oriented) are missing (only special turbo's like VGT, twinturbo, quadturbo are viewable in the research window... is this a bug? Or is it supposed to make people only use the supercharger?
Thanks

Which engine layout are you selecting?

I'll check it when I get into the office tonight. Double check Gasoline/Petrol and see if it is showing none or natural aspirated.
Also be sure you're on the latest version and verify cache and start a new game.

I've verified game files several times, i've started a new game twice, still the same results... afterwards i've combed through the game files: components.xml lists the old induction options, but FBS1_components.xml only only has 1 single turbo option (turbocharger fuel level 1), all the others are missing

Oh, that is by design. There is no need for multiple stages of sub-components since we now have bounty #59 Sub-Component Rating Range. Rather than picking multiple stages/generations of a design, the ratings just improve over time.
