WIP Beta released RV Upfit for Gavril H-Series 0.1.4

You mean "corrugated," right?

 

Yea. I was tired when I wrote that so

 

Would you consider making a slide-in camper for the d series bed? Maybe a couple different weights like the stock camper has.

 

Chrome parts on camper doors have wrong/broken texture. Missing reverse light. Window on left wall don't want break.

 

Hi I really like the RV but its missing one thing, I would really like the awning to come out with a push of a button and the door to open of the entry way but anyhow really nice mod great work but I really think it should have a control to put out the awning and put in the awning and I would also like leveling jacks to level the camper so it can be like a real camper/RV in real life hopefully in the next update you can add all those things to the RV. Thank you.

 

Thanks for the suggestions! I already made a functional awning, but it isn't quite ready for release. I am familiar with the leveling logic for Class-A RVs. I'm still working on the LUA code for the jacks.

 

Sadly no. I haven't gotten the reverse lights to submit to my will.
If you make a diesel motor, I'd be happy to take a look at it. Thanks!

 

Usually this size of vehicle has bit smaller motor than T-series, like Ford's Triton https://www.ford.com/resources/ford/general/pdf/brochures/Motorhome_Class_C_Catalog.pdf

So diesel engine would be probably around similar power level and size/weight.

 

If you get RCENGINES' ford 6.0 mod then you get diesel engines for the H series which would eliminate the need for a new engine

 

I think MPG will be really really poor, I have read that 10-12MPG is really good for those gasoline burners.


Two engines you might like to do bit of research are Cummins 12v for example from Dodge truck http://www.cumminshub.com/timeline.html , Powerstroke from F-brand http://www.powerstrokehub.com/timeline.html

First one is I-6 and 2nd is V8, both have cult like followers that will spit to other one, also there is plenty of information available, also from power upgrades which might be interesting addition for rather hilly BeamNG world?

For car / truck enthusiast those would also be something cool to have.

For Cummins there are these kind of things too:



You could easily modify T-series motor to that?

 

Torque converter size is important bit, hold brakes while in D and keep throttle floored, that gives you stall rpm, which you probably want to be somewhere around max torque rpm. then you can adjust it slightly up or down to get desired harshness/softness of shifting.

I find that real world ratios combined with real world torque curve gives quite nice experience, combine that with real turbo data with lag characteristics and it is quite nice combo then.

Old automatics were nice as when you lifted up throttle it shifted up, when you pushed throttle down it shifted down, you could easily control which gear you were in by throttle, then came electronics and these modern learning boxes and you are always on wrong gear, like in BeamNG, they got that quite right with adaptive shift logic

Ok, I'm not fan of modern, I'm too old for that!

Isn't T-series engine something like 12 liter? I would think 6-7 liter engines having quite bit smaller turbos, it would be easy to check though as finding out what turbo Cummins has and finding compressor map for that is not very difficult, just would need motivation to build one. There are few compressor maps already built https://www.beamng.com/threads/turbo-pack-for-sunburst.50905/ of course there is lot more to build a turbo.

 

That 10ish MPG range is for gasoline burners and that was quoted as really good, so your 15MPG might not be that far off actually?

Big bus with around 10l engine is around 30l/100km (7.84MPG) at steady 50MPH, those bigger engines might have slightly better efficiency than smaller RV engines, but weight and air resistance is bit less in RV too, so mileage will be better.

I did test drive this addon in one of the rougher maps and got all the interior bits loose without crashing, have to admit that there were few unintentional jumps at 30mph or so.

One of my attempts was to put off road suspension and tires + rv addon, that did not work quite best way, I had some suspension collapse issues, might need to make bit stiffer off road springs.

Crash hard is making off road van, thought of combining RV addon and off road van suspension is making slight drooling to drip, sorry about that.

Here is appropriately inappropriate video of this beautiful RV at twisty mountain road:

 

for some reason it always pulls to the left. is it just me or does every1 else always know and doesn't care? apart from that, great mod

 

How much does it pull to the left for you? Is it subtle or severe?

If it's subtle, it's probably caused by the asymmetrical node distribution. Once I finish rigging up the awning Jbeam, it should balance the weight back out.
