hey , i'm currently working on a new gearbox Code: }, "pickup_transmission_4Avmsonoma": { "information":{ "authors":"Ninetynine", "name":"4-Speed Automatic Sonoma-Sport Transmission", "value":500, }, "engine":{ "transmissionType":"automatic", "lowShiftDownRPM":1200, "lowShiftUpRPM":2300, "highShiftDownRPM":2000, "highShiftUpRPM":4800, // -1, 0 (neutral), 1, etc "gears":[-3.36, 0, 3.23, 1.88, 1.23, 0.89] "clutchDuration":0.12 "viscousCoupling":12 "lockingTorqueLimit":550 "enableLocking":true }, "slotType" : "pickup_transmission", "flexbodies": [ ["mesh", "[group]:", "nonFlexMaterials"], ["pickup_transmission", ["pickup_engine","pickup_transmission"]], ], "nodes": [ ["id", "posX", "posY", "posZ"], {"selfCollision":true} {"collision":true} //--4 Speed Auto- {"frictionCoef":0.5}, {"nodeMaterial":"|NM_METAL"}, {"nodeWeight":35}, {"group":"pickup_transmission"}, ["tra1", 0.0, -0.68, 0.48], {"group":""}, ], "beams": [ ["id1:", "id2:"], {"beamPrecompression":1, "beamType":"|NORMAL", "beamLongBound":1.0, "beamShortBound":1.0}, //--TRANSMISSION CONE-- {"beamSpring":12600840,"beamDamp":390}, {"beamDeform":142500,"beamStrength":"FLT_MAX"}, ["tra1","e1r"], ["tra1","e3r"], ["tra1","e1l"], ["tra1","e3l"], {"beamPrecompression":1, "beamType":"|NORMAL", "beamLongBound":1.0, "beamShortBound":1.0}, ], "triangles": [ ["id1:","id2:","id3:"], ], } } but the gearbox shifts a bit weird. (I've also got an engine for it) when it shifts it goes down from 4700 to 3900. but i want the rpm to go lower (to like 3000) after shifting. is there a specific part in the jbeam i have to adjust to make the rpm go lower?
If you want your shift from 3rd gear to 4th to set you in a lower rpm, you have to make the 4th gear longer. If fourth was 1.89 gear, to make it "longer" you'd reduce this number. Example 1.79 or 1.75 etc would make you start at a lower rpm for the 4th gear. If however you have all your gears setup in moreless the right rpms, but your car needs more top speed, simply make your final reduction gear longer. Though I'm not sure which value is this one. Edit: It could be the -3.36 value but then again that could also be the reverse gear.
Negative numbers are reverse... Don't forget, you can also add numbers for more gears... Works for forward and reverse as well. I've got a semi with 5 reverse gears, lol.
The final drive ratio is usually located in the rear suspension file for rear wheel drives and some are in the engine file under the front diff in FWD cars.
