Disable regen braking in eSBR

Hi,

Does anyone know how to disable (or reduce) the regen braking in the Hirochi eSBR? I am okay with tweaking the game files.

 

Ummm... Nevermind... I figured it out myself...
Go here: \lua\vehicle\controller
Then open shiftLogic-electricMotor.lua
Then change every value with regen written on it to 0
Totally works... I mean the regen doesn't work but that's the point

 

Another solution:

Locate this file: "BeamNG.drive\lua\vehicle\powertrain\electricMotor.lua"
Find this line: "local scaledMaxTorque = fadeCoef * min(maxRegenTorque, maxOverallTorque)"
And change it to: "local scaledMaxTorque = fadeCoef * min(1, maxOverallTorque)"

This will almost entirely disable regen braking

 

Alternately, you can stay out of the LUA code and just edit the jbeam file called sbr_electric_motor.jbeam

There is a value in there for each electric motor called "maxRegenTorque". Changing it to zero leaves you with no engine torque at all. Takes some getting used to.

An amazing compromise I found is setting the value to 30. It gives predictable engine braking on par with the internal combustion engines.

The default value of 100 was ridiculous. The car was massively engine braking in the middle of turns making it almost undriveable.

It's too bad that the devs didn't put comments on that value in the jbeam file so that at least we would know what it did.

 

Its been almost 3 years lol, lots changed since then. I am a professional jBeamer and lua'er now . Thanks though!

 

And you can do it in the radial menu now lol

 

Awesome. Just yesterday I decided to try and solve this problem and when I Google'd the issue your old post here was the only hit that seemed to address the issue. Once I found the value in the jbeam I figured I would share. Now maybe when someone else Googles the issue they'll find several solutions.

Yeah but I was looking for a more permanent (sticky?) solution. I hate having to change various options before I start driving.
