I think the super new cars(etk and sbr) should have an optional feature like this it doesn't seem like it would be hard to implement and in the jbeam there would be thresholds that would indicate when the system activates (like the ecs) so it can work for different cars and different manufacturers systems would work differently example: volvo is the only manufacturer that has a system that can fully stop a vehicle before an accident while others like bmw work ok but don't actually stop the car in time Also I had an idea while writing this for a "keep distance" cruse control, like the ones found in new cars In the jbeam it could look something like this Code: "etk800_AB": { "information":{ "authors":"Beamng", "name":"Electronic Brake system", "value":250, } "slotType" : "etk800_AB", "escConfig": { "actionedWheels": ["FL", "FR", "RR", "RL"], "isDebugMode": 0, "defaultConfig": 1, "configurations": [ { //AB "name": "Aut Breaking enabled", "ABEnabled": true, "MaxDistanceThreshold":12, "MaxBrakeForce":1, "ABThreshold":0.1, "characteristicSpeed":-1, "DistanceBrakeRateMultiplier":1, "brakeForceExponent":0.55, "SteerAngleTolerance":39, "DistanceSensitivity":85000, "MaxSpeedToDistance":5, "StopCarThreshold":5, ETC. //KeepDistance "DistanceThreshold": 0.20, "throttleFactorIncrease": 0.005, "throttleFactorDecrease": 0.001, "minThrottleFactor": 0.35, "brakingFactorIncrease": 0.005, "brakingFactorDecrease": 0.01, "maxBrakingFactor": 0.7, "brakeThrottleSwitchDistanceThreshold": 40, }, ] }, } }
might cause bugs such as the car braking for no reason, and the AI messing up and slamming on the brakes
but thats why they would tweak it and have baking thresholds in the jbeam --- Post updated --- I'm sure when ecs was in development they had similar issues
my mothers volvo has auto brake. it stopped me from hitting a bush while pulling into a parking space once. not gona lie it was cool. i put my sunglasses on as soon as i realized what happened.
you are aware you wouldn't have even know the bush was there in a Volvo? Tbh, you wouldnt even have noticed if another car was in that spot. Why? Because Volvo. They are the Nokias of the car world!!
i agree with you but a system designed to spot a big car was able to pick up a measly bush at the end of the parking spot. my sister tells me it absolutely saved her from a fender bender once. and it makes full boost at 2k rpm!
this game is much more than just crashes....the vehicle simulation is very in-depth, crashes are just part of beamng (albeit a real big part)
I absolutely LOVE this idea. In fact, before I read your idea, I was going to put this in the ideas section myself! Keep up the good work!
