Solved Is it possible to have two engines?

Exactly like that!

I’ll definitely try this, it’s exactly what I was looking for!

 

Hey wasnt there an ESBR mod that gave it 1 motor per wheel? so technically, 4 engines per wheel?

 

I don't think that DrowsySam's gyro is based on a 2nd engine but rather on the rotator method, not sure though. It's me who made the lua (and quite some jbeam code) for whoms't 's Twin Engine Covet. I made my first double engine mod in Oct 2019 (just checked) with its own throttle control and lua electrics.values for a separate instrument panel. So I would say yeah, sure is possible.

 

Thanks! This actually worked!

 

If, for example, I had a car that had 1 motor on each wheel, how does it change gear? I just thought about that.

 

But anyway in the game there's forward and reverse gears, like the esbr4 that have 1 forward gear and 1 reverse gear. We should change gears between the forward and reverse gear, so I think electric cars have gears (at least in the game)

 

I remember the raven car/wagon used to have a 6spd manual for electric.. unrealistic but man was it fun... I think its fixed now, but yeah, even newer electric do have at least 2 gears, rimac and the Porsche taycan for eg. They have 2 forward gears for better torque..

 

So, with electric motors in beamng, the “electricMotor” thing already has forwards and reverse already built in without needing a transmission. That’s cool.
