    Sorry for the long silence. I was somehow busy in real life and had other things in mind.
    I've read all those private messages and replies here and must say I'm quite supprised by the feedback.

    So I'm back at it again.
    I'm not going to patch this as I've lost the sources in a computer crash and I'm not quite happy with the design as it will not work with all the new features that I planned.

    I started to work on a completely new version yesterday. A dozen new features are planned. I cannot give you any information on when it will be released yet as I'm still quite busy with my real life.

    I'll keep this Thread updated!

    Again, thanks for your feedback and continously asking about a new version :D
    Somehow this raised my motivation.

    Cheers
    Alex

    L0c4lh0sT, welcome back! I love your program and have spent countless hours looking for a copy of Automation that would work with it to no avail. I can't offer any help in the programming department but i would be more than happy to help with any testing! :D

    My bad, I was looking at the date when people joined thinking that was when their post was posted, so in other words I assumed no one had said anything recently

    The new update of BeamNG today has now include a new TURBO code!! I'm pretty sure that you should be able to extract the pressure curve of the turbos from Automation, that would be awesome if L0c4lh0st could make that happen. If you build an engine on Automation that has a turbo then technically when that curve is put into BeamNG it is not correct as there is no turbo behavior just an engine curve with a turbo at max throttle throughout. I have used the converter to make engines for Assetto Corsa too, I fashion all the info I can about the engine, make a non turbo version (if applicable) put the torque curve on the desired engine then use the Assetto turbo code to make a turbo if it has one and it works awesome for me. Now I can do the same on BeamNG :D Well I will be able to when the next version of the converter is released, I really am looking forward to it! Keep up the great work L0c4lh0st! (Woo 100th msg \o/)

    BeamNG Turbo code example:

    "turbocharger": {
    "wastegateStart":6,
    "wastegateLimit":8,
    "maxExhaustPower": 4000,

    "backPressureCoef": 0.000035,
    "frictionCoef": 1.4,
    "inertia":3.9,
    "pressurePSI":[
    //turbineRPM, pressure(PSI)
    [0, -0.5],
    [30000, 0],
    [60000, 4],
    [90000, 7],
    [150000, 9],
    [200000, 11],
    [250000, 13],
    ],
    ],
    "engineDef":[
    //engineRPM, efficiency, exhaustFactor
    [0, 0.0, 0.0],
    [650, 0.2, 0.15],
    [1400, 0.33, 0.2],
    [2000, 0.37, 0.25],
    [2500, 0.45, 0.55],
    [3000, 0.84, 0.75],
    [4000, 0.92, 0.8],
    [5000, 1.0, 0.95],
    [6000, 1.0, 1],
    [7000, 0.95, 1.25],
    [8000, 0.85, 1.55],

    Did this guy even test his own program at all? It seems like no matter what engine I use, the program crashes immediately.

    Did you not read the recent posts on this thread at all? The newer versions of Automation are incompatible with this.
