Regenerative Braking for electric cars

Is it possible to change the camso_engine.jbeam to allow the engine for regenerative braking for an electric motor or is it in another .jbeam or is it not possible?

 

bump?

The problem is that when changing combustionEngine into electricMotor, changing the jbeam file to fit the electricMotor and loading it into the game, the car itself does NOT regen when letting off the throttle, unlike the stock sbr4. I have checked the sbr4 electric variant and its camso_engine.jbeam file, but I am unable to see anything related to the regenerative braking (unless i didn't check it deep enough.) Any help would be appreciated.

 

The regenerative braking is caused by the electric motor controller. You need to add the electric motor controllers too. If you're using the SBR as reference, make sure you're also using the SBR vehicle controller.

 

Well can you explain how I could possibly do so?

In your engine jbeam, add this

Code:

"vehicleController": {
        "shiftLogicName":"electricMotor"
        "motorNames": ["rearMotor", "frontMotor"]
        "topSpeedLimitReverse": 15
         },

delete all transmission related code

In your differential jbeam, connect it directly to the electric motor

Code:

"powertrain" : [
        ["type", "name", "inputName", "inputIndex"]
        ["differential", "differential_R", "rearMotor", 1, {"diffType":"open", "friction":8, "uiName":"Rear Differential","defaultVirtualInertia":0.25}]
    ],

 

What does the defaultVirtualInertia do?

 

Do you know if you can do this to a automation exported car?

 

Ok so I've done it. But apparently the electric motors aren't connected to the wheels because even when I engage drive and accelerate, it doesn't move.
