    I am wanting to transform the Pigeon into a capable off roader, Ive downloaded a 4x4 Pigeon mod and the raised suspension is great, but how would I create a 'Low Range Differential' that could be selected under the 'Differentials' section of the Part Picker?

    Thanks, Pedro

    its probably easier to just make a really low-geared 5 or 6 speed tranny...not too sure about the diffs, as I always seem to screw them up...But its easy to make a separate tranny and change the ratios and whatnot.

    I figured it out...I can do it for ya :)

    Oh thank you! Do you need the gearbox file or are you okay? But just for the sake of me not bothering you again, could you quickly describe it to me?

    shit I had it, but then something got buggered up, and did the "frozen with no light texture" glitch, so I had to refresh my install...all is lost, but I have a pretty good idea as to what needs to happen, but before I explain it, I want to get it all working. We basically are looking to have a very low-range gearbox, so 1st gear only hits like 3 or 4mph at redline, and top speed would be approx. 25-30mph at redline in top gear, correct?

    well I KNOW that I can just make a separate transmission with really low gears, but that would not be very realistic, since IRL, the transfercase is actually what changes the drivetrain into Low range, not the diffs or the transmission...But I can do the tranny trick just to get it to work, but its kind of cheating :/

    Guessing from way you linked to a site illegally hosting that mod and lack of BeamNG badge you also pirate the game. I would love to be proven wrong of course if you follow the instructions in the purchase email to fully link your account.

    Creating new diffs is easy though. Copy, paste and rename an existing diff into a new file. Change the ratio, done.

    No way to prove it, my email accounts were victim of spam hacking before I linked the game. Sorry but it happens

    If you contact support they may be able to sort you out

    You can link the steam account without owning the game, you just don't get a key.

    Make a new email account then. Quite a lot of free providers out there.
