D-Series issue with the front suspension. When the 8-lug wheel hub is equipped with the solid axle and the 17x9 STX off-road wheels, the steering breaks and the ability to steer is lost.

 

This is exactly what applies to ordinary cars.

 

No, for ordinary cars a custom driver camera is defined in the vehicle's files as shown bellow for the Vivace.

 

does the game really have to do an integrity check every time i clear the cache? I remember when it used to not bu that way and now clearing the cache takes EONS as it does a integrity check also now.

Sorry ive just been trying to get a mod to work and ive been trying to cleare th cache a few times to see ifi can get it to work and it takes 2 minuets cause the integrity check and i just have no patience lol.

 

Hey, I have such a problem, I've lost Gavril T-series and Gavril H-series, what should I do?

 

Is it possible to have an option to add more than one car at a time in the car menu. (Like Holding Ctrl and clicking to mark more cars) That would Be so time saving

 

Ofcource becose nobody expand them whit a dolly , do it properlly .

 

ETK 800-Series Widebody has lots of gaps in its model. Been like this ever since the Refresh, I've even checked in blender and its done like this.

 

I saw a video from a YouTuber who talks about some things that were in the game's archives that were supposedly being leaked little by little, such as part 3 of the T Series remake, the game was released in the epic games store, we there was the MD Series in 0.33 and probably the leaks in this video could be kind of "true"

Also, could we get the thumbnail camera config file for all the official vehicles, because when just using the thumbail generator on a default car the camera is offset and doesn't look the same as the developer taken config picture. And is it hard adjusting the camera config to look like a developer taken picture.

If you see the thumbnailCameraConfig.json in the games main directory and then settings, you can see the T-Series and MD-Series have camera offsets. But other official vehicles like the etk800 use the Camera Offsets but you cant find the offsets they use in the game files.

Example
Thumbnail taken by me: First Image

Thumbnail taken by a dev: Second Image

 

My list of minor bugs and some things that should be updated:

I have first of all fixed more outdated code that has been forgotten about.
The first issue is how the turbocharger overheating message is displayed, where it doesn't show up in the top left like the rest of the messages. To save the devs time, go into BeamNG.drive\lua\vehicle\powertrain\turbocharger.lua and find the damage tracker section and replace the old code with the new code provided below. It's the same behavior as the coolant and oil overheating messages. Also, make sure to replace any other code that says turbochargerHot to turbochargerOverheating.

Code:

  -- Check for turbo overheating
  if turboTemp > turboDamageThresholdTemperature then
      damageFrictionCoef = damageFrictionCoef * (1 + (turboTemp - turboDamageThresholdTemperature) * 0.001 * dt)
      damageTracker.setDamage("engine", "turbochargerOverheating", true)
     
      -- Start the message immediately when overheating
      if not damageTracker.getDamage("engine", "turbochargerOverheatingMessageActive") then
          guihooks.message("Turbocharger overheating", 5, "vehicle.engine.turbochargerOverheating")
          damageTracker.setDamage("engine", "turbochargerOverheatingMessageActive", true)
      end
  else
      damageTracker.setDamage("engine", "turbochargerOverheating", false)
      damageTracker.setDamage("engine", "turbochargerOverheatingMessageActive", false)
  end

This is how everything should like in the turbocharger.lua:


Last thing, go into BeamNG.drive\ui\modules\apps\DamageAppEngine\app.js and under the damage map section, just change it from turbochargerHot to turbochargerOverheating


Now it looks way more consistent with the other messages.


The second issue is the outdated Exhaust damaged message, which bothered me for a while. It still uses the old code, making it feel out of place compared to the more newer messages. To quickly fix it, go into the BeamNG.drive\lua\vehicle\powertrain\combustionEngineThermals.lua and just replace the damage tracker section for the exhaust with my updated code:

Code:

if not damageTracker.getDamage("engine", "exhaustBroken") then
      damageTracker.setDamage("engine", "exhaustBroken", true)
      guihooks.message("Exhaust damaged", 5, "vehicle.engine.exhaustBroken")
    end

This is how the code should look like:


It's a very minor issue, but makes the exhaust damaged message much more consistent.


Now I have some vehicle specific bugs/issues and some suggestions:

Bruckell LeGran - The LeGran's dash lights use both the period-accurate warning lights along the modern generic lights as well for some reason. The modern generic lights should be removed.


Cherrier FCV - The Vivace/Tograc front doors become severely misaligned with a regular front impact. A small overlap crash at 40 mph/64 kmh should not misalign the doors at all, and the car in reality would perform really poorly in the small overlap crash test. For a 2020s vehicle, the door should stay flush in such crashes. I believe this has been an issue since 0.28.


Civetta Bolide - The 390GT Group 4 Gravel and Asphalt rally configurations uses the 3.2 liter V8 instead of the 3.9 liter V8. I don't remember seeing this mentioned in any patch notes, unless this change was intentional and someone forgotten to mention it in the patch notes. The names should be changed as well from 390GT to 320GT if the change is intentional.

Civetta Scintilla - The GTs/GTs Spyder and the GTx/GTx Spyder uses the wrong ecu. The description for all of them says it’s a higher revving model, but it still uses the same ecu as the GT, so they are supposed to use the sport ecu instead of the stock one.

ETK 800-Series - Many diesel models have the wrong torque converters installed by default. Here's the list:
854 150d (A)
856xc 260d (A)
846tt 310d (A)
856ttx 310d (A)
They all should have the diesel torque converter.

ETK K-Series - The Kc6x 310d Driving Experience (M) configuration has the wrong wheels in the thumbnail
- The Rennspecht KR (A) configuration has the ETK engine cover emblem instead of the Rennspecht one.

Gavril Barstow - The thumbnails for all of the RoadSport configurations have the wrong tires.

Gavril Bluebuck - The superchargers on all the engines are indestructible and cannot be damaged.

Gavril MD-Series - The rear driveshaft is indestructible only on the extended cab front frame, and the crew cab front frame variants and it doesn't matter if you have the 4WD transfer case or not.

Gavril Roamer - The facelift taillights are very difficult to break off. The non-facelift taillights are fine.

Ibishu BX-Series - The custom headlights are a bit broken. You can remove the right headlight and it will still work, but if you break the left headlight glass, the right headlight glass will also break. Not sure if I explained that clearly, so in the screenshot of the left BX, I removed the right headlight and it still works. On the right BX, I damaged the left headlight, but it also broke the right headlight glass for some reason.


Soliad Lansdale - The 3.3 S (A) should be the default version instead of the 2.5 (A). This would match up better since the LeGran has the S V6 as its default version and for the Wendover, the S 3800 is its default version.

Soliad Wendover - The digital gauges/screens do not shut off anymore when in a hard enough crash.

 

With the T serie heavy hauler, when I want to drive backwards on a slight slope, and I put on the diffencial lock, the rear wheels are spinning, so no lock.

 

There is a typo in the T-series parts menu, more specifically the 26ft dry van loaded with 20x XL cargo boxes, where instead of saying "Middle Stack (A/B)" it says "Middke Stack (A/B)".

Literally unplayable.

 

Looks like they also did some color grading... Interesting researches!
--- Post updated ---

Are both the right and left wheels spinning?

 

Use the thumbnail generator in the world editor. I get screenshots like this when I use it.

 

Do you mean "Vehicle Screenshot Creator" ? Because there is no menu called "Thumbnail Generator". Because its the same one used in the showroom.

 

Yes that.

 

Its the same one i used in the showroom and still is offset.

 

huh, weird. Whenever i use it it gives me exact replicas of how the vanilla vehicles look.
