More realistic manual transmission

I hope this is on your to-do list already, but just in case.

The manual transmission with manual clutch is not very realistic. When you set a gear in BeamNG, you just gain speed, regardless of what you do with the clutch or throttle. In real life, your engine would just stop. In order to get your car moving, you have to slowly release the clutch pedal and usually get more RPM, because very few motors are able to run at the base neutral-gear RPM.

Also, you're not able to turn off the engine completely. The only ways to do it are destroying it, or removing it from the car. I would love to see a less violent way of turning the engine off.

 

stalling is what you refer to, planned, not implemented

 

Yup, that's right. I'm glad I was able to express myself understandably despite not being a native speaker. Thanks for the info, I'm very excited about this feature.

 

Almost every car can get moving from 1st gear without using the throttle. But I see your point, you can dump the clutch and the cars still don't stall.

 

I should have mentioned that you can get the car moving from any gear, even the 6th. Now I would love to see someone achieving that in reallife

 

Yeah again thats simply because the engine cant stall as it would in real life. Even in 6th it will continue to run, it just wont have much torque available at the wheel to get moving very quickly.

 

the engine wont stall if you release the clutch slowle and the engine is cold so the choke is on

 

Other thing, I just realised, the gearbox should break when you try to do things like setting the R gear when moving forward and vice versa. These things are really important to me, because I'm gonna buy a wheel with a transmission stick and pedals with clutch, so I'd like the transmission to be more realistic.

 

Yeah, the engine blowing up when you shift from 6th to 1st would also be nice.

 

you forgot to mention flat shifts (no clutch) dont hurt the car
and autos dont lock up properly and have no torque multiplication

 

There is also a lack of torque converters for automatic vehicles.

 

And with some cars you need to push start them.

 

What? That statement literally has zero context in this thread.

 

I think he means where you floor it in nutual than shift loose all torque just to go 3/5km and than do the same thing agian than the car drives as expected.

If you have an actual clutch pedal however this shouldn't be a problem as much as I'd imagine

 

clutch dumping basically...
Nothing to do with push starting which is something else entirely unrelated.

 

Then what is push starting inside beamng?

 

push starting is not in BeamNG.

Push starting is where you take a car that has a dead battery and therefore cannot operate its starter motor. Get some guys behind it and someone inside it. Guys behind it push the car up to a good jogging pace, guy inside throws the car in second gear, holds the clutch, then once the car is at a decent pace will generally apply a little force to the throttle pedal while he turns the key to the start position and lifts the clutch. The motion of the car turns the engine over, itself forcing the alternator to output enough power for the ECU and other systems (although even a car considered dead usually has enough electrical power for this) and allowing the engine to start without the starter motor. Only works with manuals, the torque converter in an automatic cant be backdriven like that. Also known as bump starting. Alternative to using jumper cables.

Hence why his post had absolutely zero context.

 

@SixSixSevenSeven "Snip"

Well thanks for explaining that which was more or less my guess for what it really ment, why we ever need that in beam is beyond me.

But I didn't know about the whole 2nd gear and stuff, thanks for providing such a vivid picture however I did know that trying that is useless for automatic vehicles, maybe that guy was talking about old cars? But don't they just require a crank to turn the motor over a few times and jog the motor into running?

 

Yeah, in regular manual mode I can shift without the clutch. I am not talking about the Manual Automatic Clutch option. Just the Manual option. I would like to turn the engine off because when I am in park the a.i still revs the engine which is annoying. We need a button to turn it off and a normal manual transmission.

 

What about animated shifters? I'd like to see what gear I'm in when I'm in the cockpit, plus it's quite awkward looking with a static shifter knob not moving as the car goes through gears. It's not impossible, the Del Sol has an animated shifter and it's a community made mode.
