Torque Converter Lockup Questions

I need PRN(D)D21 for selector, for that alone I need to write some bits so it is same to write lockup to happen only when selector is at OD position over certain speed. Same way or probably more clever way than I did with semi automatic that had ND54321W modes.


Finding time to do all that just is bigger issue and with my lack of LUA skills that is going to be just a crude hacked botch up.

 

all you need is 3-2-1 selector, as i presume when 4th gear is allowed, so is lockup (4th gear is part of overdrive shift position i assume..)

use the in-game 2 and 1 modes, and then for 3 you just want it to disallow a gear greater than 3..

i say all you need but irl i know it's quite a hassle with LUA, i remember you sent me the 54321W mode thing, i tried to edit it, that was a huge mess but now that i kinda have a knowledge of computerscience (actually remembering to close brackets!) i might be able to do something..

anyway i will leave it until summer holidays..

another thing i want to do is add a UI app about the torque converter, input / output rpm, slip ratio, torque multiplication and power loss.. that would be interesting.. but again, for summer hols (unless time springs out of nowhere)

 

For that lua I only added few small lines, mostly with copy paste from other blocks that already were there. You should check Race TC on configurations section of forum, that I made surely much more of a botched up mess and somehow it too works, sometimes

Modders have some liberties that developers don't have, we can make very highly specialized stuff and don't need to worry about all potential controlling methods or that single solution should work well with every vehicle and possible mod vehicles etc.

Time springing out of nowhere, now you sure you remembered to wake up this morning, because that is quite high level of dreaming, but I too surely hope we get time spring at next update
