    I am at my wits end with this. I got the BeamNG path, but I can not find automation path anywhere on my computer. Can you provide a more in depth installation guide or tell me what I'm doing wrong.

    Hi, the app has stopped working for me, I think this is because there is a new build of Automation. I would LOVE a fix for this as I am enjoying using this app very much, great job!

    I have private messaged him about 2 weeks ago but I guess he doesn't look often. Fingers crossed, I have some engines you can use for the mean time

    5.0L Coyote based on the stats of a 2015 Ford F150 engine (same as Mustang but with cast downpipes to promote better low end torque)
    5.3L GM engine, similar to the Coyote.
    GSX-R1000 K2 2001 engine.
    The other 2 v8's are to my own spec but still kick ass!

    If you use the current version of AEC they should all work. I haven't ever been able to get the game to recognise the file that the convertor makes, I have been copying the text out of the file that is created and placing most of it in the place of an already functioning engine. If anyone knows what I might be doing wrong please let me know cheers.

    Also if you make an engine with the current build of Automation, it saves automatically now as Variant# find it in the my documents my games folder and open it with notepad, scroll down to about half way and there are the increments of RPM in 100s you can copy and paste the values of each rpm point and just paste them one by one into your engine.jbeam. I did this to put the Coyote engine into a Toyota MR2 on Assetto Corsa earlier, works amazingly! https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152741738987045&pnref=story

    ok so i am running Beamng steam 0.3.7.8 and Automation steam B150330... the app loads the engine data but doesn't load the cars to create a tuning and the option to convert to jbeam don't exist

    If you go into your Documents>my games>Automation>Engines>Variants you will have a .LUA for the engines you created like what HD posted in a zip on the above post.

    click on the .LUA file scroll down on the .LUA file until you see the idling RPM for the engine.

    Like this

    Code:
    -- Table: {116}
    {
       500,<-------------------------- RPM
       349.63529216239,<----------------------------Power
       18.307429687004,
       1734.4801286942,
       2.2966215819517,
       ["RPM"]=500,
    },
    
    Take the first number RPM and (Power) number and paste it into the corresponding .Jbeam engine file

    Code:
    ],
        "enginetorque":[
            ["rpm", "torque"]
            [0, 0],
            [500,<----- RPM 349],<--------Power
            [1000, 265],
            [2000, 360],
            [3000, 395],
            [4000, 405],
            [5000, 372],
            [6000, 314],
        ],
    
    
    You will have to manually paste every RPM and power number from the created automation engine file and transfer to the engine jbeam file you want the TC to be in. The program used to do the for us automatically but now since it does not work we have no choice but to paste manually also automation does torque curves every 100 RPM so it might take awhile to get every rpm and power number copied and pasted.

    - - - Updated - - -


    The program doesn't support the newest version of BeamNG unless the program creator will update it.

    Read my above post to do it manually.

    Yea that's the only way at the moment, great explination there Josh, I have been trying to sort out a desktop capturing program to make a video but I've been very busy recently

    Once you have made one full torque curve from copy n pasting over from the Automation engine file, you can copy the whole thing for the next engine you make and then you only need to paste over the power. I have made a topic about the engines I have been making, http://www.beamng.com/threads/12925-Engines-for-all! Help yourselfs :)

    Hey guys. I don't think updating the converter will be too hard, as the only thing that's changed with the latest build of Automation is that we have new Families and Variants sections. Raw data should still be kept the same.
