I do a lot of drag racing setups and would love to see a way to launch better. I can hold my D-Series @ 3500 rpm and dump it netting a fast 1/4 mile and respectable 0-60
This is an excellent idea and would be very handy for getting the big turbocharged cars on boost, I was thinking about it before and there's probably a way to achieve it via lua. Something like this may work. if condition is 0 then transmission frictionvalue= as defined in jbeam eg. 5 if condition is 1 then transmission frictionvalue= 1.5*output torque. This could then be mapped to a keystroke or button. If anyone has any ideas or decent knowledge of the lua coding I would love to here from them.
I always wanted a transbrake in beam.. since the power train code is completely modular now it's possible to write secondary code without messing with the stock power train code. @mcheijink want to give it a try?
Transbrakes are available for all transmission types. This is part of what holds you in place at the beginning of a scenario They are not exposed via some key or something like that yet though.
@Diamondback Sneaky, So how do we apply to regular vehicles or is it "internal" right now? if not.. please enable in the next update we need it lol. Thanks
Well atm you could do something like Code: powertrain.getDevice("gearbox"):setLock(true) to enable it and Code: powertrain.getDevice("gearbox"):setLock(false) to disable it. I guess we just didn't have time yet to properly make this a feature Should be an easy mod to add this as a key to specific car.
If you put these two lines in your "BeamNG.Drive\lua\ge\input_actions.json" after line 87, you can bind this function to a key. Code: "lockGearbox" :{"cat":"vehicle", "order": 31, "ctx": "vlua", "onDown" :"powertrain.getDevice('gearbox'):setLock(true)", "title": "Lock Gearbox", "desc": "Will lock the gearbox" }, "unlockGearbox" :{"cat":"vehicle", "order": 32, "ctx": "vlua", "onDown" :"powertrain.getDevice('gearbox'):setLock(false)", "title": "Unlock Gearbox", "desc": "Will unlock the gearbox" }, Or you could just replace that file by the one i just uploaded. @Diamondback, is there an option to have the Powertrain Visualisation app show transferred torque instead of transferred power?
Not atm, we are thinking about adding it, but it's a bit more complicated since torque cannot be easily normalized. (Power can since different gear ratios between engine and wheels do not alter the power, torque on the other hand obviously varies)
