Over the past few days, i have been working on an early hybrid concept. By manipulating the powertrain code, I was able to simulate a powertrain that has an electric engine that powers the front wheels, and a 3.8L Petrol engine powering the rear. This is a very early concept but gives the idea of a working hybrid I have linked a video below Notice how I can turn off the petrol engine.
Nihon Kotsu Group Ibishu Pessima Taxi, with factory standard mudflaps and a chrome trimmed grill. Everything made from scratch because it's impossible to find any good logos on the internet. Yes, even the 'no smoking' symbol. The light on top is currently a [stolen] placeholder. But it might end up staying there if I cant get my light in-game.
Awwww, you beat me to it. I was getting so close to a real working hybrid (petrol on acceleration, electric otherwise). Ot- nothing ready to be shown, yet.
Looking good! just remember u will need to put the steering wheel on the other side if you want it to be authentic
I would like to do that, but I'm inexperienced when it comes to modelling parts and getting them in game. There are some mods that make an RHD Pessima anyways so I might just leave links to them. When I do eventually release the skin.
A little update on progress for the hybrid. I have separated the fuel system for the hybrid engine, meaning that it does not go to one tank anymore as it did previously, so, in a scenario where Gas would run out, it would run on electricity, and vice-versa.
Could you make it run on electricity when under certain speed and automatically switch to gas when exceeding it?
Will this be something for your new map or you're just experimenting? Because so far, it looks pretty cool & interesting
