Vivace/Tograc: Offroad mode now fully disables TC
Wait what?
Vehicle with open diffs, traction control is used to brake the slipping wheel.
In off-road vehicles: Traction control is used instead of, or in addition to, the mechanical limited slip or locking differential. It is often implemented with an electronic limited slip differential, as well as other computerized controls of the engine and transmission. The spinning wheel is slowed down with short applications of brakes, diverting more torque to the non-spinning wheel; this is the system adopted by Range Rover in 1993, for example. ABS brake traction control has several advantages over limited-slip and locking differentials, such as steering control of a vehicle is easier, so the system can be continuously enabled. It also creates less stress on powertrain and driveline components, and increases durability as there are fewer moving parts to fail

EDIT: After some playing I can tell off-road mode is not TC off but it allows more wheelspin before braking the spinning wheel

 

I guess it's because it's german language

same happens with russian

 

All of this is very nice. Love the new badging, and the drag racers will love the NOS.

Awesome! Really glad to see this get fixed.

A couple suggestions:

Will we ever see any modifications for the Burnside 313 V8, like a four-barrel carb or engine block tuning? That thing's been begging for mods for years.

Also, it pains me to say this (because I really like it as-is), but the Moonhawk's L6 is way too powerful. It's barely bigger than the 120-horsepower Barstow/Bluebuck L6s, and it's putting out 150 horsepower - in the malaise era.

There's no way that an N/A gas-powered 4-liter six of the era could have made 150 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque without some really wacky (and expensive) tuning. Could we see this engine get a detune to...about 125 horsepower?

And a longstanding bug:

Please fix the "Carbureted Intake" label on the Pigeon's diesel engine's intake. Diesels cannot run on carburetors; it's really hurting immersion, and should be replaced with the more realistic "Mechanical Fuel Injection".

 

I’m experiencing the Intel integrated graphics issue lately. Recently updated to v 0.19 and whenever I try to recover my vehicle with the “insert” key, BeamNG crashes. Windows gives me the “Fatal error: GPU is not responding” along with a crash report. Computer gives the same error when vehicles crash at high speed. Tried downloading an old version of the game (v 0.17.0.2) with no mods installed but I get the same error, not sure whether it’s the integrated graphics or from incorrectly moving game files

 

I know this isn't one of the most critical things to change, but could you please change the rear electric motor power in the Cherrier to match the front? There's about a 30PS difference between them & when you're going even up a small hill, the front wheels spin while the rear wheels hardly provide any power to help push the vehicle along.

 

H series don't have onboard camera.

 

I like the small goodies they put into hot fix updates!

But, whats up with that? I was able to save and load custom and game configs all the time in 0.19. Or is this about something completely different?
"Due to popular demand, we’ve decided to revert the removal of Vehicle Save/Load feature. However, we do not have plans to maintain it long-term and it will be removed again if it will become a blocker for physics engine development."

 

Ah, not a biggie, never used that LUL

 

Well yes, I know weight shift can cause that, but I noticed that quite often the rear motor just like... gives up & doesn't bother to help propel the vehicle, even with ESC/TCS active, while the front motor just spins at almost max RPM

 

Hi all and big thanks to the dev team for the latest update and round of minor bug fixes.

Is anyone else finding that traffic is respawning as stationary vehicles following today's hotfix? The traffic gets moving just fine initially, but once I start wrecking everything in sight the respawned vehicles are just parked. It does this on different maps and doesn't matter whether I use the app or the radial menu.

 

So is anyone else disappointed that they took away the Vivace i3's other long blocks and weakened the stock one so the most you can get out of tuning it now is 145hp, use nos to get any more than that and it'll just explode? You could get 300hp before if you modded nos in

 

before you got 145 hp also <

 

Does restarting your graphics driver temporarily resolve the GPU error?

 

Agree. Except H45.

 

Is it normal that after a crash, the parking brake doesn't disengage automatically if you try to drive backwards? It only disengages when driving forward. Tested in safe mode with the vivace and the etk 800
