Known Bugs:

''The weight of each point of armor on a vehicle changes depending on the chassis, but the Darkwind Vehicle Designer uses the same weight per point of armor in all circumstances.'' 

*No, the Armor Weight values vary by chassis, but some chassis don't have their Armor Weights defined (because I didn't have access to the chassis), and those are 0.  Regardless, the DB values are editable, so if you know the weights for a chassis you can modify them yourself.

*On the Database page, select 'chassis' in the dropdown, and double-click on any entry.

''I've also found the final weight in Car Builder is rarely an exact match the weight listed in the game itself, but I haven't figured out why.''

*I think it is because the actual weight per point is a decimal/float, and the values used in the DB are numbers that seemed to get the closest in the builds I tested.

''The fuel range calculation in the Darkwind Vehicle Designer isn't right, so don't pay attention to it.''

*It was always off a bit (hence the 'Est.' for 'Estimated'), and is now more off since the math changed, and 'A' armor gets a bonus, and ...

*Triferus: Hmm well are you using the 135,000 * Fuel Units / Weight calculation or the old one, as per the [[Travel]] page? It looks like the old one to me...
**The released version of the application is using the old/original math, as it was correct at the time of release.  I changed it in my development version, but haven't released for a number of reasons.

''When Car Builder generates a banner for a configuration, it always identifies the armor as Grade "B" even if you actually chose "A" or "C".''

*Can't help with this one, sorry.

''Car Builder uses the wrong bulk and weight when adding a roll cage to the Offroad Buggy.''

Removed " , as is a desktop application [http://graymattercomputing.svnrepository.com/dwvehicles/trac.cgi/wiki Darkwind Vehicle Designer]. " since the standalone application is no longer available.
*I'd fix the link, but nobody seems to care
