The repository approval is taking longer than expected. I see they just posted another game hotfix, so it was probably all hands on deck with that this week. I will stop teasing. Download added to first post until it makes it to repository. Please remember to drive safe, and do not over red-line the engine.
Hah lol. True. To be honest, over red-lining is kind of fun sometimes too. Manual transmission in arcade mode are very good at this. Just hold throttle and Nitrous without letting up. Boom!
It doesn't seem like clutch slip, I think the way this works is that it in theory sets your throttle to a higher level in percentage to proportion of the throttle you have applied, I think that is what is causing the "clutch slip". Because even with a beefed up transmission, it still gives "clutch slip". I'm not trying to throw shade on the mod but I think that this needs to be fixed, but this is a good start to a great idea. I'm no modder, but I think the best way to do this would be to increase power by a certain amount to what the motor is outputting. This is just a suggestion, but in time this mod will get better.
That's actually what it's doing. It simply increases the engine output torque by a relative amount. Any transmission or clutch slip is caused by the regular functioning of the transmission under increased torque.
But if it's just increasing power than why does it rev over? Plus even on the smallest nozzle size it still gives the slip
OK - I think I know what you are talking about and I DO want to try and fix that. That's #1 on my list actually, so yea I agree. When I do 1/4 miles passes, I could be in any gear and they are all revved up. Making it hard to tell when optimal time to shift is. You are just talking about that correct? Or do you mean the engine is going over red-line and you are toasting your engines? If that is the case, you are just using Nitrous wrong. Do not use it when the "theoretical" clutch is depressed.
There are no settings in clutch jbeam that make any improvement. I believe the functions that control that are deeply embedded into power-train system - so it will take some digging and custom LUA to get it adjusted, but I am working on it. Anyways, as stated on the information page. Best results are using automatic transmission for now.
What all did you do to make the nitrous mod do what it does? Is it possible that when activated it decreases engine inertia or messes with the fuel cut off, other than those I'm not sure what else the problem could be. Maybe try checking the gear inertia if that's even a thing?
I tried a few things to get it working the way it is now. The first time I got it to work, I made an increase which was based on the engine's idle output to powertrain.getDevice("mainEngine").outputAV1 Original (really bad, code) Code: if boosted == 1 and powertrain.getDevice("mainEngine").outputTorque1 > 0 then while powertrain.getDevice("mainEngine").outputAV1 < 8 * baseAV do powertrain.getDevice("mainEngine").outputAV1 = powertrain.getDevice("mainEngine").outputAV1 + baseAV end end This kind of worked, but it was non-linear increase - and gave the sense of all or nothing as far as power. Over revving was much, much worse.(see original nitrous testing videos) Actually looking at it now, I remember I used "and powertrain.getDevice("mainEngine").outputTorque1 > 0" because that value goes to 0 between shifts... I might be able to re-utilize that. The updated version was based on a tip from Diamondback, to increase "outputTorqueState" to value greater than 1 for linear scaling - which didn't quite work for me. But between my old code and that tip, I was able to find "outputAVState" which did have the effect of linear scaling when increasing the value. But as he stated "the whole powertrain self calibrates, so any spring based component will have a too low spring value and might slip (such as clutches)." I'll be working to over-ride these value "on the fly" as suggested, but patience will need to be exercised while I figure it out. Here is current LUA that makes it do what it does (linear scaled increase to engine power) Code: if electrics.values.nitro == 1 and NOS.boostcount > 0 and not NOS.boosted then NOS.boosted = true powertrain.getDevice("mainEngine").outputAVState = NOS.increase elseif electrics.values.nitro == 0 and NOS.boosted then NOS.boosted = false powertrain.getDevice("mainEngine").outputAVState = 1 end
Like @Diamondback said about the spring value, is there a way to technically make the clutch be "pressing" on the plate harder to make it grip instead of losing slip? If I was at my PC and had the stuff to look at the LUA installed I would be able to try to figure things out and know what all there is to mess with, I might be of help but otherwise I ain't got many things I know about in the LUA.
