i have not fooled around with automation yet but id love an easy way to make nice torque curves. also, this would go good with an in game app that told you true wheel horsepower, as opposed to theoretical power we get now. i think BHP minus friction (something like 10 percent?) is the "THP" the in game graph shows.
Found a bug if you convert a engine with a rev limit of 10,000 RPM or more the converter will glitch out and only show 500 to 1000 rpms only.
How do i modify it to put it in game? I have no clue how to do this. I read the desc of the mod, im just confused.
it should convert it like this Code: [500, 189.18], [600, 196.39], [700, 203.2], [800, 210.55], [900, 216.65], [1000, 223.5], [1100, 229.89], [1200, 235.58], [1300, 240.42], [1400, 244.86], [1500,

Im not able to write/edit in the engine jbeam, but in all other pages i can.. help plz? (will answer in morning) btw i am using notepad ++
Could you PM the file you're using? I just ran the program with the 4/20 update, and it converted an engine I just made with 11500 RPM. --- Post updated --- Are you decompressing the vehicle folder, saving the changes you are making, compressing the folder to the same structure, and then reloading BeamNG?
Are you decompressing the vehicle folder, saving the changes you are making, compressing the folder to the same structure Ahhh, there was a glitch reading the RPM Limit from the file, it would read "1100", instead of the "11000". Posting the updated application in a few moments.
I get an unhandled exception that says "Index was outside the bounds of the array". edit: Ignore me, I'm an idiot
I love this idea, it would be cool if they implemented something like this in the yet to be released career mode.
Might take some time for me to learn, (ADHD is terrible to deal with) but I see this as an opportunity to contribute. I'm pretty efficient at making specific engines in automation, anyone want a specific type? Should take no more than an hour to perfect.
