    Hi guys,

    with the idea of understanding how the new electronics system works, I tried to add to the Piccolina the new ABS TC and ESC and the Driving Modes.

    Now everything works fine, despite probably has to be adapted for the new smaller ligher car, except for the abs.

    I copied the Vivace ABS jbeam, added the right slots in a new Piccolina Body jbeam, the ABS appears under the Electronics options in car parts, but it doens`t work at all.

    Code:
    {
        "piccolina_DSE_ABS": {
            "information":{
                "authors":"Diamondback",
                "name":"Anti-Lock Braking System",
                "value":250,
            },
            "slotType" : "piccolina_DSE_ABS",
    
            "controller": [
                ["fileName"],
            ],
            
            "pressureWheels": [
            ["name","hubGroup","group","node1:","node2:","nodeS","nodeArm:","wheelDir"],
            //brakes
                {"enableABS":true},
            ],
        },
    }
    this is the ABS jbeam, obviously in my body file the slotType exists. So why it works on the Vivace but not on the Piccolina?

    Thank you
    David

    Sorry to bump this, but I remember this happened also with abs for all vehicles that doesn`t have it in beamng. My workaround (also for the piccolina) is to create specific brakes (front and rear) with integrated abs, and this works. But it is clear I`m doing something wrong in the abs file: can someone help me figure out what`s the mistake? Thanks

    I don't want to bump this but this problem seems to still persist. Anyone got any ideas?

    On the Piccolina it depends on the slot the ABS is in. For example it will work in interior slot but not in additional modification. But at least it's not as bad as the Burnside, which requires replacing both the brakes and the spindles. Some standarization could be nice here but there is none.

    Also, I have no idea why each car with ABS has its own ABS. If you compare the ABS from the Pessima with the Legran or other older car, they just enables the ABS for that car. if they changed other ABS aspect, I'd understand.

    I was trying to add ABS to this vehicle, I even found some ways how other people were successful in doing so, even downloaded some mods where it worked with other cars and dug into these files, but it didn't work at all with this one. I had to put the ABS directly on the brakes for it to work. I mean: At least I got it working, but is there no better way?

    For info: Using the body file with ABS did nothing at all unfortunately, even had it in the modifications slot at one point it time, but I already deleted the files for that since it didn't work either. Only adding it to the brakes via the _brakes_abs.jbeam did the trick.

    Some newer cars like the ETK 800 or Vivace have some changes in the ABS system. But yeah for older cars it's all identical, I don't get how it isn't a common slot like navigation or line lock (both of which are used way less than ABS).
