Released Updated Shiftlogic Automatic Transmissions 4.36

According to the changelog

Improved torque converter lockup logic and automatic shifting behavior. Torque converters will now engage the “lockup clutch” in more gears, and can use “partial lockup” (essentially allowing some slippage of the lockup clutch) to achieve smoother shifting and better torque efficiency

Does that mean that my mod reached end-of-life?

 

I will need some time to test this out for comparison but i dont think so yet because they just started on overhauling this. I dont really think it will be nearly a perfect as your mod.

EDIT: From what i have seen so far i would not go anywhere as calling this mod obsolete. The new behavior is at best a tiny step in the right direction but nothing more. DCTs and EVs still have no Idle Creep and shifts still happen at far to high RPMs.

 

Well, I still didn't update the game. Should I backup the 0.29 torque converter and automatic transmission logic, or the mod is working fine?

 

From what i´ve saw its working fine but i didn´t saw anything yet. Please make a backup just in case.

 

No it doesnt, it seems that the transmissions have improved but arent as smooth and responsive as the ones in your mod are.

 

@Xupaun Any chance you could add Idle Creep to the Auratas CVT?

 

They definitely did improve the automatics, but they still aren't as smooth as the mod ones.

 

Yeah like i said before. Tiny step in right direction but nowhere near as smooth as the mod. I do hope they keep working on it because its still not smooth and many transmissions like DCTs and EVs have no idle creep and the terrible high shift rpms while cruising are still unrealistic as hell.

 

DCT still has a lot of problems, especially when kicking down at any speed, when accelerating directly the gear doesn't immediately downshift but there is a strange pause which makes the shift not smooth

And for the automatic transmission, the only drawback is the shift delay, it would be more perfect if it was added, even though the DCT transmission already has this feature.

 

You are right about the DCTs but i have to disagree about the Autos. Like i stated before they are still very bad vanilla wise.

 

Little Bug report. ETK 800 and K-Series wont start with modded transmissions on a Diesel Engine. i dont know if any other vehicles have similiar problems but that should get looked at.
EDIT: The Vivaces 1.5 Diesel also has several mod transmissions which it wont start anymore. Strangely the 2.0 Cherrier Diesel dont have this bug.
So far these Engines wont start with several of the mods transmissions.
Cherrier 1.5 Diesel.
ETK 800 & K-Series 2.0 Diesel & 3.0 Diesel.

 

Could replicate that. The ETKs with automatic transmissions can be started on gear (either D or R). The DCT is not working with the Diesel engines. I have absolutely no idea why some of the diesel engines don't work, since the gasoline ones work with all transmissions.

The weird thing is, I thought that it was a problem with the transmissions, but the Gasoline engines work normal with the pack's transmissions. After that, I was blaming the starters, but the Vivace's 1.5D and 2.0D have THE SAME stats for the starters. Now I'm lost.

 

had a similar issue with the d series diesel engine but it wasnt related to the transmission mod weirdly.

 

Thats very bad. I had hoped you can work it out. Its getting really annoying that the mod keeps getting broken update after update. I just wish the devs would completely overhaul the automatics aspect of the game proper so we dont have to deal with this endless cycle of troubleshooting all the time.
I hope you still can find the problem and fix it

 

The thing is, probably this is not a problem with the mod. Something else is wrong, probably on the affected engines, since the other engines work flawlessly with all the transmissions from the pack
--- Post updated ---

That's very weird. Probably the update added something that are making the diesel engines unable to start. It kind of feels like the starter does not turn the engines long enough, or something like that, specially because the engines start normally when in gear

 

That is a big problem if that really has nothing to do with mod by itself. Somebody will probably have to dig through the engines to check what is different there to adjust the mod transmission to if the problem really is that the starters dont turn the engines long enough.

 

Later today I'll try to switch fuels and torque curves between the affected engines and their gasoline counterparts to see if it is really an engine issue.

 

Thanks! I really hope you can get to the bottom of it.


EDIT: Ok, its getting really strange. I just found out that the modded 7-spd TTsport DCT doesn´t work on the 3.0 I6 Gas. I´ve noticed its mostly DCTs and SCTs and some Torque Converter Autos that wont work so i speculate something broke the mod when they reworked Manual Transmissions which also would involve stuff like Clutch behavior which the DCTs and stuff also use and light worked on Automatics which could´ve broke the mod in this regard.

 

That makes no sense because the DCT is "attached directly" to the engine, so That would only be true if the devs made changes on the DCT transmission coding, something they didn't say they did. the SCTs on the mod are simply "automatics" with different torque converters.
Also, on my end the ETK Gas I6 is working fine with the mod's DCT, although I'm using the engine sounds remastered mod, so it is using "the old" 3.0 I6 (edit. even with that mod disabled, the gas I6 works flawlessly)

 

Ok then maybe i misunderstood that part but im really curios what is the problem here because im clueless.
