WIP Beta released ETK800 Hybrid 8.1.0

I'm guessing that's a third-party mod that someone else wrote that uses my system... I don't have anything named an "ETKC extension pack". You'll need to talk to the author of that mod to fix it instead.

 

I found another minor problem of the ETK Hybrid start-stop system. In D if you apply less than 4% throttle or coasting(0% throttle and 0% brake), the ICE will stop, this is correct. However, in L mode apply 20% throttle is coasting but the ICE won't stop.

 

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong but pressing E and Shift + E doesnt change anything.

EDIT:
I figured it out, needed to add the buttons in the settings.

 

I have been a fan of this mod for a while but for whatever reason, both the ETK and Wentward versions break apart and stop the game on spawn, I've been waiting for a fix since it happened right after a recent game update and thought it happened to all of them

 

Did that and now I get this error:
415.38335|E|libbeamng.lua.V.powertrain.init|Found unknown powertrain device type: traction_battery
415.38338|E|libbeamng.lua.V.powertrain.init|Powertrain will not work!

 

I'll have to look at that when I get a chance; I must be using the non-normalized throttle input by mistake.

I don't touch any of the physical node/beam structure of either vehicle, so I'm not sure why it'd cause the vehicles to break apart. Are you sure you don't have other mods that might be conflicting?

Hm, you might need to actually edit some references in the JBeam to match the new filenames, most likely in the transmission and battery .jbeam files. The game uses some of the jbeam properties to look for script filenames.

 

I'm not actually sure, also they don't break apart, not sure why I said that, but they don't work and I get a message saying "Error in Mod installation" which I only got after a recent update

 

I am posting this here because the Hybrid UI apps dont seem to have their own discussion topic:

Thank you again for this great mod.

I would like to talk about a few things and offer a some suggestions:

• Rated topspeed values seem to be higher than achievable vehicle speed in current release. I think the Eco Hybrid is rated for over 200 km/h, yet doesnt manage more than 165 km/h probably due to the control logic protecting MG1/MG2 from overspeed.
  
• Trying to compensate the lack of throttle control of driving with a keyboard with the cruise control app causes the ICE RPM to go up and down between idle and 3000 RPM. This is probably caused by the throttle app not really being meant for hybrid systems.... it even struggles with EVs already.
  
• I found emergency chargeup mode by accident by setting the battery to low in tuning menu. Very nice realistic feature. Those engineers really thought of all the idiot drivers in the world that somehow will manage to deplete the battery like that.
• You could maybe mention somewhere that you can switch the displayed info of the Hybrid Debug App.... I only found it by accident.

Hybrid UI App suggestion:

At the moment we have this:


My suggested ideas:

- Coloured Gear Animation
- Move gear RPM from debug text app to animated gear app
- There does not seem to be a carrier gear in the animation?

From german wikipedia:

Carrier stationary




RingGears stationary:




SunGear stationary:





Thank you for consideration.

 

This is so strange. It's like this mod got broken too with the new update. (thanks beam) The transmission options are missing and when I select one of the preset vehicles the engine is set to empty. -_-

 

same here

 

Yeah, the same happened to me.

 

Interesting; happens to me too when I load the default config. The bus has worked perfectly fine, so they must have changed part names/hierarchy on the ETK. I think I'm fairly close to being done with the overhaul update to the bus/ETK; I'll try and get it out soon and this will be fixed.

 

So it turns out the engine and eCVT are actually there, but they don't show up in the parts selector for some reason. I can't for the life of me get them to show up. The ETK hybrid works fine for me on 0.20 (although it's very very very different code-wise from the currently released version); it just doesn't show the parts.

 

It's ok man these things happen. -_- Totally not your fault.

 

Arcanox updated ETK800 Hybrid with a new update entry:

Major Rewrite!

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

For some reason the only version of the car that works for me is eco version , the sport and race gives me corrupted file error , I removed all my mods from the folder not to interfere but it did not help

Seams to be in eCVT because when I try to switch it I get the error (Version 6.0)

Edit: Solved

 

I missed this post the other day when I replied to recent stuff in the thread, sorry! I actually haven't touched the gearbox visualization app in a while; I'm surprised it actually still works with all the refactoring I've done! I was having a hard time getting the visuals to line up with the actual gearbox properly and it wasn't really helping me debug it, but I figured I'd leave the app in just in case I ever needed it again.

 

Yeah its broken for me on all models, getting the error when it loads in, I hope you can get it fixed too also same goes for the UI app nothing displays in it as well thought I would cover that too just encase of anything happening there!

 

Just go to parts menu and select the eCVT manually again, it is shown as selected but for some reason the selected it again solves the problem

 

Ah okay will do and if I knew the location of that stuff in the code I would tweak it
