Clutch Thermal App?

Will there ever be a Clutch Thermal App in the making?.... one that shows Clutch Wear and Temperature..
Also Clutch types with different temperature ratings would be a cool idea

 

Shame, i would love to see that.

 

That is why I'm using torque converter.

When I'm on 1st gear low-low clutch burns even on level ground at steady speed at times, but this is something like 1-2kph at engine's max rpm which tends to bug out things a bit, even when using stabilization code.

Fun experiment is to turn off clutch helps, then let semi idle, again at lowest gearing pop the clutch and let it spin wheels at very slow rate against a wall, clutch will slip as well as wheels will slip.

If I remember correctly there was something like "clutchTorque": ? Could use that to beef up things and make those sport clutches?

IRL you can't shut off semi with low gears, you have to use big gears, be strong at brakes and pop up the clutch fast, torque at idle is just insane in those, if you are slow, turbo will spool up and clutch will burn. So it is not that unrealistic or bad that clutch burns when doing silly stuff which I always end up doing, somehow

Other thing with semis is that drive line parts tend to break up if clutch will hold, low gears are bit dangerous to use as there is that expensive sound coming from someplace underside of the frame. It is quite hard to get brain around that much of torque.

 

I remember setting something manually despite being automatically calculated, I think it was the clutch torque, but I'm not sure, it might of been torque converter torque too, probably override is still there though, which might be very useful for many things.

You could make a beater config to have worn clutch for example by setting torque bit too low, so it slips slightly at maximum stress etc.

How I wish there would be comprehensive list of all little keywords we can use

 

Manual way still works
