Released Better Starter

@daddle-zit it is currently not working. im at -20 and its not working. only steam comes out of exhuast. can you help?

 

I still have hope this very underrated mod will get fixed some day...

 

it works fine for me...?

 

What's broken?

 

basically it just starts up too quick no matter the temp you have set but if you go back a few replys you'll see what people are talking about.

 

The starters as a whole don't seem to be working

 

Do you have preheated engines enabled? If yes, then that is really just a consequence of the fact that I almost completely ditched the default timer behaviour.
That doesn't make my code better though, I am aware that the starter is terribly unrealistic right now and shouldn't do that, but it would need a good bit of research and then a complete rework.

 

No, I don't have engines pre-heated, if that is of any help.

Regarding the starter, until the rework happens, is it feasible for you to "fix" the current verion of the mod in a way that would keep the idle behaviour but remove the starter changes, or at least explain how one would go about doing that ?

 

Well, for me it works like it should in very cold weather. Although fuel injected cars have way too easy cold starts, and the T-Series somehow gets its clutch frozen. Ok, I tested on -200C so it may be something related to the Clutch thermals and the air system, since other manual vehicles and the bus are unaffected.

 

Try this update.

 

The mod now works. Thank you very much !

 

You should replace the original file with this one, this one works so much better and the instant start issue seems to be gone. Thank you

 

I have

 

thx for update!!

 

link doesn't work(
--- Post updated ---
nvm, main page got updated)

 

Update is amazing! Part of the issue though is that BeamNG doesnt have the best support for temperature. Like cars don't react very much to temp changes unless it's at -270 in the world editor which is just unrealistic and even if the vehicles are warmed up during that temp it doesn't do anything or at least not much.

 

Hi, the mod is really grate, i like it! My only issue is, that it isn't working with the Highly Customizable Engines RK mod.
Can you fix it, or tell me how to fix it?

 

That mod uses a custom engine Lua this mod doesn't overwrite - you'd need to manually apply the changes I made to the original Lua to this one as well.

 

Cannot wait to see where this mod goes!

 

could you make it exponentially harder for the engine in diffrent Temps somewhat and make the car not make the startup sound when you let go of starter its literally that close to vanilla quality, thanks anyway
