Gavril T75

not that one

 

I have given this one a try just recently and I am quite impressed, even though it is not finished. I did notice that it is missing an interaxle lock, but I guess that will be added later.

I think it would be a good idea to add an option for range change/splitter. It is difficult to get 13 buttons for gears on a keyboard or controller, and the gears are not supposed to be changed up in sequence. It would especially benefit those with a gear lever controller.

 

I was actually looking at the code for the DCT transmission and wondering if that could be adapted as a range selector

 

i tested the new experimental build and there is some strange cpu usage with the gavril T-75.
only 1 out of my 4 cores is properly used when the T-75 is loaded.
i tested 4 cars (G-15, T-75, Grang Marshal, Moonhawk) on the small pure grid map
i loaded the vehicles via the standard vehicle selector and did then a 0-100-0 kph cycle.
check the charts for cpu load / gou load / gpu memory usage.

Its JBeam is much more complicated than other any vehicle in the game. So more CPU usage is expected.

 

i think his point is is that it's NOT using more cpu, and that it's actually using less

 

so the jbeam is only handled by one core? (cpu hasn't hyper threading)

 

I don't know why calculations aren't being done over all CPU cores yet; sticking to one core is not ok IMO. I can run Next Car Game astronomically smoother because it Hyper-Threads

 

really, are people STILL comparing NCG to beamng :/

they aren't even going for the same thing, NCG is going for arcade racer, beamng is going for realistic soft-body physics simulation

and the reason beamng doesn't use more then one core/thread is because of syncinc issues, NCG doesn't have to worry about that as it uses a far different system, so they can run on multiple threads without too many problems (and thats IF NCG runs on multiple threads, because NCG isn't going for soft-body physics simulation, it's no where near as intensive, because it DOESN'T use soft-body physics (or uses a really basic version of them)

but seriously, don't compare beamng and NCG, they are both going for 2 different end goals :/

now to get back to topic:

was browsing the facepunch thread, and saw that gabester said that there's a bug in the code causing problems with the simulation of the tires on the t75.

which is to be expected, it's called experimental for a reason after all

 

Each vehicle is simulated in its own thread. 2 vehicles = 2 threads, 3 vehicles = 3 threads etc. Hell its weirder that you have 4 cores utilised with just 1 vehicle, sure nothing else is hogging CPU time in the background?

- - - Updated - - -

"it hyperthreads", hyperthreading is an intel exclusive trademark. I think you mean multithreads. And BeamNG multithreads, each vehicle is in its own thread.

 

i get more fps on here than on ncg

 

Oh so is that why i can run NCG On my pc with high graphics so much smoother compared to BeamnNG, This will shut up the people complaining about this game being poorly optimized

 

The new official CopyPasta

 

I agree with you, real life trucks are surprisingly..floppy, even in (relatively) calm crashes, as evidenced here [MEDIA=youtube]http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=2b9_1412376310[/MEDIA] But that isnt the reason im posting. I just want to thank you for presenting an argument, and backing it up with evidence and elaborating upon that. That stuff doesnt happen enough here Most people would say "the big truck is too weak" and end it there. Not you good sir :3

 

AND don't forget:

This is an alpha. It is not yet finished.

 

A highly overused phrase see's it's way in again...

 

Its true though, the game is still in an alpha state, and because of that many things are unfinished (there's even a bit of stalling code still left in the game, which im sure will be eventually finished)
