ETK 900-Series '18-'24 Bug Report Discussions 2.25b

Suspension and wheel shaking when steering if car in air, is this a bug?

 

what configuration are you using?

 

946_340 but I think other configurations also have this problem, I first found this problem when I tuning suspension in my mod, once I change the suspension geometry, it happend, and I want to known whether ETK 900 also has same problem, and it did

 

What about diesel V8 for 900 series? Somthing like M67 wich was in classic BMW E38 and in E65/E66 7 series. It could be in 3 power variants: 948 360d with 360hp and 800nm , 948 420d with 420hp and 900 nm, and Renspecht 9D V8 with around 500 horsepower and 950-1050 nm.
What do you think, would that be a good idea?
(Sorry for my inglish, i know, it isn't perfect)

 

a 6 cylinder diesel could get these figures nowadays

 

Ok, but imagine. Big luxury sedan with big V8 diesel under the hood. A lot of torque and power, with interesting V8 diesel sound. Like for me I6 diesel sound sucks in beamng. I just love the mod called "Modern ETK V8 diesel" sound of it is just perfect and it has a lot of power. It would be good if similar engine appeared on the 900 series.

 

It wouldn't be accurate for the period the car is based on. By this point, there isn't really any diesel engine in its segment bigger than a 6cyl. IIRC

 

I really love this Mod. I have a few things, i want to suggest:

1. The sounds of the 4-cylinder-engines are to aggressive and noisy. Compare to the ETK 800 it is not matching very good.
2. The Air-Suspension is not usable with lighter engines. You need a heavy engine, otherwise the front of the car is to high.
3. The MHEV-System has, in my opinion, to much power.

Any ideas:
I would prefer, having the opportunity for a PHEV. Does BeamNG support this?
I would really love a bigger car, like a ETK1000, like an S-Class or 7-series. Plus a SUV-Version from the ETK800 and 900.

Enough of that... this Mod ist definitely one of the best! Great work! Thank you!

 

It is purely intended for the V8 and V12 halo car.

IIRC it's the same engine, but the sound difference is probably exhaust related or ECU

Kind of does feel like a booster, but on higher-power cars it is a LOT more noticeable, indeed.

Brake disc issues aren't appearing on my end. Are you sure you don't have any mods that conflict with vanilla brakes, and you are in-fact, using the latest version?



(I am tagging you on the thread, because i cannot create a conversation using repo reviews.)

 

Hey, quite late to this, but I seem to experience something similar - I isolated the issue to the V12 Heavy Duty Engine Mounts. Steering bias seems to become apparent after driving one lap around the block - but switching back to Stock Engine Mounts seemed to eliminate this issue. I'm on the latest update - perhaps this might help with reproducing the issue?

 

Do not drive with ultra heavy duty mounts. They aren’t meant for this car, and I have next to no control over it, as they’re inherited from ETK Common, and only work on the 800/K.

 

Awesome. I struggled with this on one occasion a few months back and thought it was a fluke, being a used car from career mode. Perhaps if it's not too much trouble, implement a way to "signpost" people away from using the UHD Mounts? No experience with handling mods, so I'd completely understand if this is also not possible.

 

Perchance does RLS and the like use randomised parts?[/QUOTE]
EDIT: I have found a viable fix. Thank you

 

Vibestation 5 updated ETK 900-Series '18-'24 with a new update entry:

04/11/25 Patch Notes+ Content Update + Ultra Heavy Duty Engine Mount fix!

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

eey, V12 still idles like an i3.. any plans of editing that or?

 

it had used full V12 engine+exh sample since 12th sep update

 

Do forgive me if this has been brought up previously, but are there any plans to update the headlight models? At the moment the projectors are just two blue circles, and I think they'd look miles better if they had a PBR headlight (I think that's what they're called) like the ETK-800 / K-series. In fact, the fog lights are really well done, just don't know why the headlights feel a bit cheap lol.

 

Rear window either UV or mesh is a bit unalighned.

Car suffers from ETK's factory problem, which is UV's edges, same can be found in K-series.

Also i'd muffle i6 diesel a bit, for an S-class car, cruising sound on low throttle 90-110kmh is painful to listen. All critiques subjective and holds no value. In my case i really liked tweaking max load, felt more expensive and modern, without truck notes
cheers

 

indicator stalks do not work from factory

but thanks, i'll tune the I6D accordingly,

 

You moved so fast I had to buy you a £5 coffee for this. Church brother
