Throttle power isn't actually powering car

    Sometimes, for short moments (usually between 0.5 and 2 seconds), the engine fails to accellerate, even though "throttle" is at 100% and the RPM is quite low. The car slows down through air friction. It must be a code problem, because beam actually recieved my hardware input, but couldn't process it properly. Testing environment: East-Coast, ETK 800 Series.

    Edit: after lowering videosettings and recording at 120 fps, I can see my controller drops out for one frame, wich causes the problem, strangely this started at the new update. I also didn't think it would happen because it's brand new :( Sorry to bother you guys, have a nice day :) (The larger dropouts probably were shifting or so, my bad...)

    Edit 2: The car struggles a lot more lately, still not entirely sure if it's my controller...

    Edit 3: I'm sure it's not all about my controller, the car just doesn't always accellerate properly

    Edit 4: It often looks like the fuel flow to the engine is cut, for no reason at all

    Edit 5: The problem only seems to occur on the ETK 800 Series

    Edit 6: It's probably a bug on the ESC. After removal, it's fixed.

    FINAL EDIT: "Improved ESC/TC via killing the throttle input when the ESC is active"

    Strange. Maybe it could be the driver that your controller or steering wheel uses. I don't have this issue myself, so I can't think of anything else.

    Do you notice any difference with ESC disabled? ESC provides traction control, which will briefly cut the throttle when it kicks in.

    No, because the game widget tells me I have a 100% throttle input.

    Did you modify ESC, because it just started from 0.10? And I think driving straight lines at 20Mph doesn't really need much ESC...

    That depends on how much power you have. Try driving a 700 horse power rear wheel drive SBR4 with ESC and then without ESC. Offcourse, from 0-60.
