Revamped CRD Monster Truck Development Thread

Thanks.

Some tuning settings likely need to be readjusted after all the powertrain updates.

 

i am not sure if its just one of them that causes the shaking or if its when you have them all crankt

 

Looks like the transfer case gearing is causing it.

It's not necessarily a bug, mind you. It's accurate powertrain simulation. "Cranking it all up" would likely cause issues in real life, too.

 

it still happened with another test even without adjusting transfercase overdrive at all. just the other things were crankt.

 

I'll limit the crankability™ of most params.

Some settings are likely outdated since the introduction of torque reactions, or it could be caused by tire pressure.

 

will poke any solution you mix up

 

debug video for wobbles. turns out its the differential gearing. found out the max stable setting is actually 4.3:1 for front and rear. should prob set to max out at 4.25:1 for safety
vid thing up whenev.

 

Thanks, Official Debugzoid™.

 

New Beta Addon Packs uploaded. Main pack will be updated in the next few hours.

Known issues (all will be fixed in the next beta update):

- "Locked" transfercase causes rattles at idle. Merlin engine not affected, fix will be extended to the classic Ford engine.
- Range of adjustment of differential gearing too broad, as reported by @gameboy3800. Final ratio will be reduced to prevent potential issues.
- Engine mounts are still integral to the standard chassis mesh. Will cause clipping issues with the new engine model. 2nd gen. chassis not affected.
- Texture for the updated transfer case needs improvements in a few areas.
- Radiator hoses will be replaced by improved meshes by @ROCKGODBOSS.

 

The Merlin is so awesome! It is a very good model and I am extremely impressed with the attention to detail with things like the screws at the base of the headers and the rocket covers! It all looks so good very well done. A suggestion would be to add the classic straight piped 8 pipe exhaust system. (I guess that's the name) that would be awesome. Very well done!

 

Zoomie Headers are planned. Grave Digger 34 has straight collector Magnaflows in real life though.

 

New beta update available. Please remove any previous version of the Grave Digger Addon Pack before installing.

 

Sounds awesome!

 

I just got a notification that said "FLyInG 2 YoUr SoUL started a thread called Betas, there may be more posts after this"...says it happened 24 minutes ago...the notifications need to be fixed lol
OT: the Merlin is awesome, I love the detail

 

My fault. Inadvertently set the thread as "Moderated" while on the phone.

 

oh...there is still problems with getting notifications from threads you don't check in awhile...I just came across athread I started watching a year ago and I have not had a notification from it since, I rediscovered it under the forums tab

 

You can unwatch and subsequently watch a thread again, that usually fixes it.

 

new engine is bae. no bugs or mishaps to speak of. is good for repo.
testing video up whenever

 

will the Merlin have a different sound or are the sounds so similar that it doesn't matter, never listened closely to a Merlin and whatever the base engine is so I wouldn't know

 

Sounds for both are recordings of a Merlin.
