seeing the T-series go 50mph in 5L hurts me. The engine should be a hunk of scrap at 30mph.[/QUOTE]

In this case, 5L in the t series is the equivalent to 9th gear. So 50mph is right.

Did you train on a non-synchromesh?

This box is based on the road ranger (crash box) like I drive at work, and also the same as the old massy Ferguson I drive. Except the t series does not have the added HI/LO range box as you are describing.

If they were to a HI/LO range box, then it would become a 15 speed.

Right now and just like the real thing if fully loaded, you split each gear ( 1 L - 1 H , 2 L - 2 H) < that's already 4 gears right there .

If HI/LO range is added, you would start in LO range - split each gear as above untill your in 5 H, then you would then change it to HI range - 1 L and start again. (As you stated irl 1st is a crawler gear, and isn't included in high range shifts so 2nd is considered 1st. If this was true in beam, adding a HI/LOW range box would make it a 14 speed.

 

This is what I mean by high low and the transmission I was trained on.


But it's more likely then not I'm just not familiar with the system your talking about. But seeing the 5 speed with a direct - overdrive (high, low) just seems off. I was not trained on an 18 speed.

 

Here is the road ranger. It's a 5 speed. It has a splitter for each gear and is illustrated as the H / L beside each gear.
Exactly the same as the t series.

This road ranger only differs from the t series by having an auxiliary HIGH / LOW range switch. This is illustrated by the white squares being HIGH range and LOW range being the black squares.

Other difference Of course as stated earlier and illustrated, IRL 1st gear is CRAWL , it can be split but can not be used in high range, which in the t series without a ranger, makes %100 sense, and I give the Devs a cookie for there amazing work.

Next thing they need to implement is non synchromesh and it will be perfect.

Btw there is a mod released which adds a 12 speed splitter, along with a 12 speed ranger (being like you described, low range 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - High range 1 - 2 - 3 etc etc.

 

Ahh ok I'll retract my statement.

 

Another thing that would be nice is the ability to adjust the airbag suspension without going into the tuning menu
Several trucks with that suspension can just raise/lower it from inside the cab

 

You can press 'T' to raise it, I think.

 

For the versions that have the airbag suspension you can use the shortcut keys. I'm not 100% if these are the default but T and G adjust it on the fly.

 

Hey Devs I have a question / suggestion regarding the gears.

Is there any plans to add an auxiliary 2 speed transmission/splitter to the rear axle?
These were common on alot of older semi trucks upto the late 70s and allowed you to shift the rear axle to LOW range / HIGH range (direct) , and could also be used as an additional splitter between gear shifts.

This would be a great little detail in my opinion

 

Really? il have to try that later thanks

 

It already exists in the 10-speed manual

 

No I'm not talking about the splitter in the transmission. I'm talking about the rear axle - differential having its own 2 speed transmission.

Engine - flywheel/clutch - transmission< splitter box -------------- driveshaft - auxiliary 2 speed transmission< differential< axle.

 

Ok, but I don't quite understand what would you need second rangebox for. Please explain how it could work cuz I don't really get it

 

Have a read up on the 'Eaton 2 speed truck axle' if you want a better understanding.

basically if you understand how the splitter box in the transmission works i.e:
1-L / 1-H , 2L / 2H , etc .. it's the same as that, except now you are splitting the final drive ratio.

Okay here is a simple yet straight up example..
# go to parts selector - rear axle - differential - final drive ratio.
Choose the 5.44 ratio.. GREAT! Now you have a nice low ratio perfect for hauling heavy loads and up hills etc.... but that has a drawback. its not so great for highway crusing, light loads and fuel economy etc etc. So in this case, a higher diff ratio of let's say 3.99 would be more suitable.

Now what if there was a way to shift the rear axle from 5.44 to 3.99 on the fly?
2 speed rear axle.

 

maybe in the next update they'll add more customization for the T-series remaster

 

Hopefully, that includes at least another engine - if the K/800 refresh could give those two vehicles another engine (despite them already having four), I don't see why the T-Series can't have two engines.

 

congrats on having the most scene beamNG post

 

?

 

Good info here on the transmission. This update taught me that these old trucks often weren't equipped with front brakes either, that's pretty crazy. I never knew that. Is the torque converter automatic option historically accurate, or creative liberty on the dev's part? I tried looking it up and couldn't find any info.

 

I woud like a log truck

 

So “wood” I lol
