Released WentWard Bus Type-C (Front Engine) 9.2

Three things:

• The interior sounds are weird (shifting to the left and right channels rapidly)
• The interior gauges don't work
• The "6-Speed Automatic" is definitely a manual.

 

Nice work! Any one of the modern engines will do if its below 250hp for stock engine

I'll look into the sounds issue I never noticed that, the interior gauges worked before but were too glitchy to include in the final release, upon impact the gauges rotated away from the dash and spun around the bus, I'll have to create placement nodes to properly setup the gauges maybe in he next release, and the engine is still heavy WIP but should be fixed in subsequent updates and will include the realistic Cummins ISB6.7 as well as derby and custom drag versions. The engine that is being used now is basically a place holder, The derby engine doesn't even have real torque it uses a thruster to simulate it

There was a question about the speedometer placement on the dashboard of the bus, on some buses the speedometer is off to the side, this bus's dashboard is based heavily on those designs

 

Thank you For fixing the steering to the left issue that helps me alot!

 

I found this torque curve for the Cummins engine, how do I get the bus to have that Torque curve?

 

Could you make a TC2000?

 

Actually I thought I fixed it but Im hearing that people are still having issues with it, It'll be fully fixed in the next update!

Already in the works

 

Great! We have some of them in my country, but I have only seen one moving(the others were probably scrapped when Kremikovtsi was closed.

 

Ok Thankyou!

 

Is this a modeling of the international-chassis 'snub-nosed' american bus?
Because if it is, it's called a 'snub-nose' (I know, I delivered parts for these to mechanics working on them).
Pretty cool you'd make one, though I will mention that 'mechanics HATE them' and they 'aren't the most reliable' ...

 

Please add back the speed testing or thrusters. I had alot more fun with the bus parking cars and making the bus go over 70mph and slam into the car.

 

Sorry, havent been on
To put the torque curve on the bus open the engine file and find "enginetorque"
Starting with zero RPM and 0 torque put the RPM on the left and the amount of torque at that RPM on the right, btw for most accuracy I recommend 500- 1000 RPM increments
As for the thermals I reccomend you steal the values from the t-series
If you need help feel free to ask

Dont forget to load the torque curve app in game to verify do not worry if the values are slightly different this is just the simulation doing what it does best

Example

 

yup i dont know the official name of the bus type but flat-nose and snub-nose is what i'll have to go by for now until I can track down the manufacture name but another user siad it was a TC2000 and a quick google search confirmed it

the speed testing is actually part of the derby engine for now, it makes up for the extra power needed that I didn't know how to add through the engine and transmission. In the parts selector if you select the derby engine then you have it, it can be tweaked by going into the engine.jbeam file and editing the derby engine stats The thrusters are near the end of that section. The thruster testing will be removed completely in the next update so save that engine.jbeam file if you want to have it in the future.

Thanks! I was able to get help in another thread, I created 2 engines, a Cummins ISB 6.7 and Customs Cummins 6.7G limited turbo, I also created a NV4500 transmission, all in the next update in about a week

 

Cummins 6.7 for pickups =/= the engine for the Blue Bird school bus. i have the torque curve here somewhere for the one they use so i'll see if i can find it. the one for pickups revs too high, i think the one Blue Bird uses only revs to something like 2600 RPM. i did modify the JBEAM to match the transmission they use though. it's an Allison 5-speed automatic. if you'd like, i can get that over to you. it's got modified torque curves (which i couldn't get right), so that's something i want to look into

 

Yay! and i cant wait to do some more TURBO! becuase its also on the old semi jbeam engine file. I used to have it but i cleared all of my files.

 

Ok cool, that would be good, although I think most school buses are manual im sure there are some automatics out there, I'll include it in the transmission types section

 

most modern ones are automatic 6-7 speeds
idk about older ones, I think they were 6 speed manual

 

Oh ok Ill make it an automatic then since its based on a 2002 school bus

Update: The school bus will have a final release in a few days! then I will continue work on the flat nose bus (TC2000)

 

yay! what about a mini-bus?

 

Update: The bus is coming along well, the next update will be the final release for this bus so im fine tuning everything, there are so many small details that I missed in previous updates, such as red tabs for window release, emergency kits, leather safety pads over doors, etc. Old bugs are gone, including pulling to the left, wobbly frame and glitch crashes, I aim to release mod worthy of BeamNG. Also I'm also surprised by how many safety precautions there are in a school bus, a school bus resembles the inside of an ambulance, i've been ridding school buses for half my life and just noticing this 10 years on!

Some of the final updates include:

Body colored and Standard Black Steel wheels




More safety features


hinges



The first release of the school bus was back in November 2015 and now after 7 months is coming to completion! Thank everyone who has contributed and continues to contribute! My next mods will include: Version 1 of the Flat nose (School Transport Bus) School bus, Updated Hyundai Elantra, Version 1 release of the 2015 Ford Explorer and a stig mod. Cheers!

 

ah, ok. the transmission i based mine off of is from the modern day BlueBird (the Allison 2500 5-speed auto 'box). if you'd like that to do a modern-day version, i'm still happy to share it with you
