Maluch JBeam rebuild

Changelog finished in English, will also translate to Polish because many Polish people will use this mod. There are 400+ changes from the old version, and most of them are several small things combined into one, and redone Jbeam only counts as 1 change. Idk who will read it all, maybe some youtubers if any of them will review the mod.

 

Why would it be, there would be permission issues if it was, since it still uses stuff from the original which was free and the original author probably wouldn't give permission to make money from his work. And it has plenty of stuff made by other people too.

 

So while waiting for TAN to test, I fixed the jet turbines addon to the original mod, adapted it to the current version and included in the mod. 2 configs included, flying normal and flying police. I made the turbines able to fall off, and made the binding names more clear + added one that resets the pitch control because it was annoying that once you start controlling it you couldn't stop. Turbine power is also tunable, separately for front and rear ones. I didn't change any LUA aside from fixing the biggest issues, because it's quite complex to me and I could mess something up by accident.

 

If someone models and textures them, I can add, but I don't think I can make that myself with it looking realistic

 

Pędzel made the headrest covers.

Unfortunately rear ones won't be in the mod because the game doesn't like too many half-transparent objects close to each other and does... this.


But instead we have these weird aftermarket front headrests.

 

I tried adding swaybars before, but it was hard to find any balance with them since not stiff enough would do nothing and too stiff would just break the suspension. I feel like there is some kind of formula to the swaybars that I'm missing, maybe you can help with that?

 

That could do maybe, I can look into it. There's the front suspension too but it can use a generic approach I think.

 

Good news! The speed is now correct, there are no more weight distribution issues, Cabrio steering is all good, all issues that were fixable in reasonable time are fixed, this means that the final testing is coming soon! I'll only try to add the sway bars now, then update a few configs, automated testing, thumbnails and the final beta!

Working sway bars, comparison with and without them. I hope this works good enough. They are tunable like the race sway bars in game. Irl I don't think there are even aftermarket ones for this car, because I imagine they could be causing the car to flip easier as with a high center of mass they turn the body roll into wheel lifting, but this could be entirely false, idk much about sway bars and even less about the reason why there are none for this car.
