Welcome to the official discussion thread for Vivace i-DM Hybrid mod. For those unfamiliar with this mod, I have created a fully functional Series-Parallel Hybrid System for BeamNG, which has been fitted into the Cherrier FCV yet, transforming it into Vivace i-DM Hybrid. ArkFz's i-DM Hybrid System features a dual-fuel setup (gasoline + electricity). At the heart of i-DM is an electric-based hybrid system. This hybrid architecture uses a high-power motor drive and large-capacity battery as its primary power source, only using the combustion engine for assistance. This innovative system focuses on efficiency, effortlessly adapting to different driving scenarios. This thread serves as a discussion board for Vivace i-DM Hybrid and ArkFz Hybrid System in general, as well as a platform for issue feedback. When reporting issues/bugs/crashes: Please include the following details: What are the issues/bugs/crashes? When/Where/How the issues/bugs/crashes happened? Your BeamNG detailed version (can be found by clicking the version number on the bottom right corner of the main menu) The mods version ArkFz Core mods version How you installed the mods (subscribed in-game or manually downloaded) Any and all details pertaining to the issue
Thank you for your hard work on mod production. Thank you always for your hard work. I'm using it happily and interestingly. You are becoming part of Beamng. We would like to offer you a better feature proposal. For the hybrid serial-parallel driving mode switching of dm-i vehicles, I would like to add hysteresis conditions. I analyzed your mode for a moment. As a result, it is believed to switch to parallel hybrid mode at 60 km/h. (My intelligence and my world-class artificial intelligence have tried to analyze/interpret your mode. However, we failed to interpret what engine RPM means, we can only guess from the engine speed when operating in serial hybrid mode...) The dm-i vehicle enters parallel hybrid mode at a speed of 60 km/h. Then, it will remain in parallel hybrid mode until it reaches 40 km/h. It must be reduced to 40 km/h before entering serial hybrid mode. What do you think? *The dm-i vehicle has not been able to verify that switching is functioning in serial-parallel mode as the driving load increases or decreases in the section at 60 km/h, as this is a very difficult attempt.
hey! i think this mod is great but i noticed something from the most recent update. - when installing any other electric motor to the rear, reversing becomes impossible as the front wheels want to go forward and the rear wheels want to go back. regen brakes are also disabled. - beamng version is v0.32.2 - mod version is v1.2 - arkfz core is v3.0 - subscribed through ingame - i tried any e-motor, including the REEV ones and same bug appears but overall i'm loving this mod and i appreciate the work that you've put into it. fantastic job! would love to see the other vanilla cars implement this as well.
This happens because the P3 Motor depends on a redesigned shift logic. When using other motors that are not designed for i-DM Hybrid, the shift logic may be overridden by other motors', causing the failure of P3 motor. Please use right motors for i-DM Hybrid vehicles. Thanks for your report!
ahh i see! just noticed as the previous version of the mod did not have this occurrence and I was able to change the motors. 感谢您的努力
Hi there, This might be a bit unhelpful, but I've downloaded the mod and the core mod and I can't actually figure out how to drive. None of the keybinds work, and the app doesn't change anything. I'm not sure if I've somehow got a corrupted install, or if it's really not so obvious how to drive them. Cheers!
Try deactivate mods related to electric motors and Cherrier FCV and clear the cache first. If the problem still exists, please press "`" to call the terminal and show it.
This is because the electric motors are using BeamNG's original motor controller and the 1.5L engine has programmed throttle. When it changes to parallel the motor torque is replaced(?) by the engine torque(?) however then engine is at low RPM(hence low power) in direct drive at 65 km/h, more power is needed. OP might want to implement some kind of closed-loop feedback by reading the driveshaft torque
