Make any automation car a hybrid

EDIT: This is out of date now, and a newer version is available here - https://www.beamng.com/resources/universal-automation-hybrid-mod.30251/


what you'll need to do is download the mod, put it in your mod folder, then activate the parts in the parts picker of any automation car in beamng.

It's okay to take this, modify it, and release it yourself, no credit is required, but appreciated if you do

if you want to see how it was made, how to implement it, and how you might change things for your use, then you can watch this video -

 

Hey, I noticed that the RWD Transfer Case still connects(?) to the front differential.

Original

"Camso_TransferCase_RWD_c2503": {
"information":{
"name":"Hybrid RWD Transfer Case",
"value":500
},
"slots": [
["type", "default", "description"],
//["Camso_differential_front","Camso_differential_front","Front Differential", {"coreSlot":true}]
],
"slotType" : "Camso_TransferCase",
"powertrain" : [
["type", "name", "inputName", "inputIndex"],
["shaft", "REARDriveShaft", "gearbox", 1]
]
}​

Fixed

umm hi can anyone show me how to make an awd hybrid as in the electric motors power both the front and the rear wheels thank you ...

 

I have an issue. I made a car (AWD) and converted it into "Hybrid RWD transfer" with "Front Electric Motor" applied, so my electric motor powers the front wheel axle and ICE powers rear one. But for some odd reason ICE isn't connected to rear axle. How can I fix it?



UPD: I fixed everything! in "camso_2wd_transfercase.jbeam" instead of "REARDriveShaft" You should write "rearDriveShaft"

 

Yeah there are little mistakes that Beam doesn't like

 

Hello. I made an AWD car in automation. I tried to make the front wheels to be powered by electric motors and the rear wheels be powered by the stock engine. The problem is that (while everything seems properly connected) only the electric motors are diving the car. How do i fix this? A video showing what I'm talking about is linked below. Any help is appreciated.

 

So sorry for the thread necromancy, but I don't really see anywhere else to ask this - I'm running into the same issue (EV powers front wheels, engine does nothing) but on a car exported as RWD, did you ever fix this? My engine is connected to the torqueconverter, but the power dies once it hits the seemingly non-existant gearbox.

 

Is it possible to add a hybrid motor to a FWD car? Im trying to use the mod on a FWD car and it doesnt work.

 

You should import the car as AWD, and configure it to FWD Hybrid afterwards. Without AWD, there's only one axle which can power the wheels.

 

If I understood it correctly you can have only one power source per drivetrain. So you would need it split up in two, one wheel electric, one combustion powered. This likely makes the handling rather "interesting".
