Cherrier Vivace & Tograc

"You know what? Screw you." *Gavrils your exhaust*

- The devs, probably

 

The electric ones certainly seem to!

 

Not sure if this is a bug but I noticed the Vivace & Tograc have some weird oil starvation problems. If you turn traction control off, go up a steep slope and floor it in first gear until you break traction and keep spinning the wheels, the oil starvation XY value will start going up and down between about 2.5 and 0, and you'll get an "engine is starved of oil" notification. I tried the same thing in a couple other cars and didn't have any oil starvation at all. This only happens with the smaller displacement engines and only with a manual transmission.

 

Is this due to the angle of the sloppe ?

 

This is due to the vibration of the tire or the powertrain vibrating at a frequency higher than the Nyquist frequency of the physics engine. This leads to inaccurate oil pan g-force reading

said vibration may be caused by resonance. Different replacement, different natural frequency

 

That's actually really interesting, thanks for telling me about that

 

I tried to run the test (i3, manual transmission, ESC off, spinnnig wheels on the same slop) but I didn't encounter the problem.

 

It happens but you gotta be hard on the controls. Also the understeer comes from regencon evs. Hit e. Go to the regen and turn it down. Every ev defaults to maximum regen so its on the brakes technically as you let off.

Also if you let off on the gas fwd versions and turn into a corner and then hit the brake IN that order. About 20% brakes(depending on conditions it could be more or less) with traction control off. You can get lift off oversteer AND trail braking diagonally with ease a bit easier than you would expect. Ive had a ton of fun with the vivace for over a year now :3. Its fun even with the 3 cylinder motor

 

I have learned that rally AWD and 265 front and 245 rear tires transform the car’s handling

 

fwd is why and if you add cargo boxes it handles more planted.

 

I have a idea for the FCV how about a version that is rebadged or like a older FCV like a 80s FCV

 

The Ardente Carabinieri does not have any interior design by default in the Parts selector. Its description says it has AWD, but it is wrong. Also it has a speed limiter set to 210 km/h, which is lower than the standard 190d (230 km/h).

 

This is really nice, almost feels like "brake torque vectoring", turn the steering wheel quickly and the inner rear brake heats up a bit instantly.

 

The screens on all three FCVs are so bright at night that they make it hard to see. I made some quick code so that the screens are dimmed 80% when the headlights are on using materialEmissiveScaling.

Here are some issues I found with the Vivace & Tograc as of version 0.39.2

- Vivace 110d is using wrong transmission, it should use "Diesel 6 speed manual".

- The "7 speed dual clutch transmission" (Non-diesel version) sometimes won't shift to 7th at highway cruising speeds.

- Final drives of Vivace & Tograc 110 (gasoline i3) configs feel too tall.
A final drive of "4.55:1" for vivace and "4.86:1" for tograc would feel MUCH better.

- Final drives of all Vivace & tograc factory configs using "2.0L diesel engine" with "diesel 6 speed manual" feel way too short.
They should use "3.389:1" final drive.
