Is there anything the Powertrain in Beam can't simulate?

    We've got active differentials, CVTs, DCTs, LSDs, but the question remains: is there anything BeamNG's Powertrain can't simulate?

    Yes. Power train devices can only take one input each. This prevents dual engines feeding same drivetrain, most notably this is how most hybrids like the Prius work.
    EDIT: Or yeah, direct drive is mentioned above and suffers the same issue I mention with hybrids

    A pickle. No matter how much you want to simulate pickles, it won't happen. Sorry.

    It probably could with a bit (well, most likely a lot) of LUA code.

    While it's right that powertrain devices are limited to one input, it actually doesn't mean that hybrids can't be simulated.
    Things just need to be in series in the game. For most cases this is not a limiting factor at all, I see no issues with implementing the Koenigsegg direct drive btw.

    Engine and motor would be two inputs to a single transmission is the issue with direct drive, unless a new motor was coded which itself can take an input I suppose

    Yup that's exactly the idea, the electric engine would be in series, not parallel.

    Actually, now that I think of it, you can't simulate stuffing a banana into the transfer case

    Not sure if you could do per-wheel transfer cases or one engine per wheel

    Didn't the "Scania" truck mod have multiple T-cases?

    Yeah, but not one for each wheel.

    I'm sure it could, if you figured out what that does.

    I'm pretty sure someone will make this forum redundant by making all of these things happen

    I bet it cant simulate one engine per wheel like this
