    Radiator tuning (WIP)

    4/28/2016​

    2nd BETA Released
    • Added Miramar
    • Added Radiator tuning for all vehicles
    • Fixed a few problems
    • Deleted some unnecessary parts


    DISCLAIMER

    • This is highly work in progress (WIP), things might be misspelled/missing, things might not even work..
    • With that being said feedback is appreciated. (I need feedback to find bugs etc etc)
    • Over the next while ill be adding more (variables) "tuning options"
    • Once this mod is "finished" ill be releasing it on the mod repo
    • ALL OTF (on the fly) parts have *OTF at the end of the name of the part.
    • Parts that are not need ie exhausts etc etc will be deleted, out of the engine jbeams in the coming days.
    IF you have ANY problems post in this thread and ill see what I can do.

    What does this mod do?

    Have you ever wanted to "tune" your engine/transmission in beam, without getting in to the "foreign language" of what we call "jbeam"? well now you can "tune" your vehicle without exiting out of the game via the tuning menu..

    Essentially putting you in control of whats "going on" with the vehicle.



    Vehicles Done
    • Barstow
    • Burnside
    • Common (Pickup and Roamer)
    • Coupe (200BX)
    • ETK 800
    • Grand Marshall
    • Covet
    • Midsize (Ibishu Pessima)
    • Moonhawk
    • Old Ibishu Pessima
    • Hirochi SBR4
    • Semi
    • Sunburst
    • Bolide
    • Van
    • Miramar
    *
    *All engines are base "stock" engines selected as a "different" part.*


    *Pidgeon is finished but its being excluded until I can figure out why the game is not pulling the engine.jbeam for it.*

    *All official vehicles will be supported.*

    *All come equip with OTF (on the fly) tuning for all stock engines and transmissions.*

    **So with this I figured out how to make a makeshift "trans brake"/ "launch control".**

    With a manual transmission and this mod via variables .

    • Set idle rpm (via tuning menu)
    • Choose gear *idle is still being held while searching for a gear to launch in.*
    • Let go of brake
    • Car launch's hold WOT
    • Boom makeshift launch control :)

    Shown here



    * don't mind my crap driving skills, its late lol.


    Original Post

    I am currently playing around with some variables, would you guys want to see a OTF (on the fly) tuning for the official vehicles? something like this?

    EDIT I just noticed the poll says "how would like" is supposed to say "would you like" I can't seem to edit it. just take note of that. Thanks

    EDIT

    The project has begun, We need a name for the project, any suggestions?

    Keep it up though, this is quite the original idea and I'm excited to see the first release and the final product.

    Your "Pidgeon" engine.jbeam isn't recognized by the game as the vehicle is called the "Pigeon" in-game.

    Simply change the folder name and it should work.
