So I want to fool around with some things and maybe release them here, but I need help first. How can I change the speed at which an automatic shifts? Is it in the vehicle controller, torque converter, or auto trans jbeam script?
Code: "vehicleController":{ "transmissionGearChangeDelay": "neutralSelectionDelay": "gearboxDecisionSmoothingDown": "gearboxDecisionSmoothingUp": } These are the transmission parameters you should be looking at. Also, you might want to edit your shifting points.
Indeed: Depends on what he means with "speed at which an automatic shifts". Vehicle speed? Shifting speed?
Maybe he wants to change rpm at which transmission shifts, which would be somewhat related to speed of vehicle, then these could be used. //reverse, neutral, 1st, 2nd, ... "highShiftDownRPM":[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0], "highShiftUpRPM":[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0], "lowShiftDownRPM":[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0], "lowShiftUpRPM":[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0], Gear ratios define then of course at which speed certain rpm is met.
Sorry, shifting speed. I worded that terribly!! xD All of the autos seem to be really sluggish in changing gears. I want kinda... Skip to the second run.
For that, I guess "transmissionShiftDelay":, would be one setting to look into, but also these do affect it. Code: "converterDiameter":, "converterStiffness":, "couplingAVRatio":, Have a look at Powertrain from there automatic transmission and torque converter sections have quite ok explanations of those parameters.
What you are looking for is actually part of the transmission, not the controller. It's the "gearChangeTime" parameter of an automatic transmission. This is in the transmission because the time really depends on the hardware and less on the "user".

I couldn't find the gearChangeTime parameter in the wiki, it isn't listed. But this is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
