(Tutorial) How to improve your automation cars with file editing

Ok, thanks.
--- Post updated ---

Sorry, just another question, how low, is, extremely low?

 

THX for posting this. Now my Hirochi Toza is more realistic.

 

I usually go with values under 0.2 for my cars

I am glad to know that it was useful for you !

 

Thanks, yeah. I just tried 0.1 and it was fine.

 

Hi everyone!

I have added 3 videos to the tutorial, made by the Youtuber where's fillman86:

• The first video is a tutorial to maje the aerodynamics of your cars tunable:

​

• The second video is an ew alternative to the creation of an electric engine:

​

• The third video, added as an off-topic tutorial, is the tutorial for the creation of a trike mod:

​

I hope you will enjoy his content!

Edit: I have also updated my electric engine. It will work properly with the setting of the new car exporter now. I have also added 2 new race gearboxes

 

really really cool!
btw, horns have been officially added to the cars now

 

That's true, I forget to remove this part ^^'

 

do you think you would add another tutorial on how to add gearwhine to automation cars? for a long time exported cars with sequential transmissions wouldn't work after an update in beamng when it came to their sound effects. i've tried to copy the gearwhine code to one of my cars and it didn't work. i miss them and would like to add them to my racecars otherwise they feel incomplete

 

Hi

It's actually quite easy to do! I will try to write the tutorial during this week

 

thank you! even though i selected the sequential transmission in automation, when i export it to beam the whine is not there. it's been like this for months after an update in beamng caused this and i'm excited to see how i can fix this issue!

 

Hi! The tutorial has been added to the first post!

Here is a copy:

a. Open the file. JBEAM matching your car's engine:

b. You should see something like this:

c. Copy this:

• "gearbox": {

d. Use the Crtl+f shortcut to research it:

e. Copy this:

• "gearWhineCoefsInput": [0.80, 0.00, 0.65, 0.60, 0.50, 0.45, 0.40, 0.35],
• "gearWhineCoefsOutput": [0.00, 0.00, 6.00, 6.00, 6.00, 6.00, 6.00, 6.00],
• "gearWhineInputEvent": "event:>Vehicle>Transmission>straight_01>twine_in_race",
• "gearWhineOutputEvent": "event:>Vehicle>Transmission>straight_01>twine_out_race",

f. Paste it like on this picture:

g. Save your original file and close it.

 

Can you add tunable suspension height?

 

I would like to, but I don't know how to do it

I know how to make fully tunable suspension stiffness, bit I don't know if it's possible to change the ground clearance on an automation car :/

 

A new part of the tutorial is available: how to add custom intakes to your engines

If you follow it, you will be able to add 4 different superchargers and/or 4 different turbochargers to you engine!

 

Can you edit the wheel offset in the .car file? I want to get the fitment good on one of my projects but i've used fictures to make a time attack style bodykit so the wheels aren't exacy where i want them to be. Any suggestions?

 

I think you will have to edit directly the 3D model of your car, and, sadly, I don't know how to do that

 

I've been wanting to change the shift speed on my cars, do you possibly know how to do that? Thanks either way

 

I know how to do that

• Open your engine Jbeam
• Use the shortcut ''crtl+f''
• Research "gearChangeTime"

• Edit the corresponding value

It works with the automatic and DCT gearboxes!

 

nicee, thank you!!

My bad for responding early, it didn't work, first of all I didn't see gearChangeTime and so I tried putting it in myself and it didn't do anything, any other ideas?

 

You can't change the speed for manual or sequential gearboxes. What kind of gearbox did you want to edit?
