Nice work so far! i still have to get around to testing it in game, havent been able to get back to it yet Yes with the coming updates that will be straitened out, no pun intended
Not to be a bother, but is it OK to mess around with the bus's engine Jbeam. The acceleration was bothering me, so i'm trying to fix it.
I am already working on it, I can send you a working engine tomorrow(in about 10-12hrs) which is faster then the original one with a 15spd configurable automatic transmission since I don't have a realistic setup finished yet.
http://www.beamng.com/resources/blue-bird-tc-2000-type-d-rear-engine.1737/ It's already on the repo. It was released some days ago. The system just automatically creates a new thread for the mod as soon as it gets released.
Well, it makes 300hp at 3100 rpm with a realistic torque curve so the top speed was about 100kmph on a long road. It is not very fast for a bus, but it behaves realistic. I am planning to converting all of the stuff in the mod to the new drivetrain system, but with exams coming up it may take a few weeks. I am also planning to add the merlin motor from the monstertruck to this bus, just to make a drag version --- Post updated --- No, I guess it will be added to the mod itself when it is finished. The current version needs some polish. I think that I will have it ready to be released as wip tomorrow if nothing goes wrong irl. The code is nearly finished and I will send the author the new files tomorrow
That moment you find out someone was already making an engine for a mod that you made an engine for. When this was first released I started tinkering with it, and even though someone already is making (or is done making) an engine for this, I thought I'd talk about it. The engine is a 7.6L Navistar DT and has 481 lb/ft or torque and 171 horsepower. The transmission is an 6 Speed Allison 1000 automatic. It also has a 5.57:1 Open rear diff. I also did some other things, like reroute the exhaust to the exhaust pipe, and brake thermals. If @ThreeDTech21 allows it, I'll post the file here (or send it to him).
Add the black wheels and then save it. Config made. --- Post updated --- Diesel Engines IRL stop making power at around 1600 RPM so i think thats kinda unrealistic
No, I guess it will be added to the mod itself when it is finished. The current version needs some polish. I think that I will have it ready to be released as wip tomorrow if nothing goes wrong out Cummins yes, but here in Europe not. I know it is not really realistic, but the real Cummins 5.9 isb is not ready. That Cummins engine is the engine used in the bus irl
There will be a configuration for black wheels once I add other school districts with different styles, on of them will be black wheels. In fact I'm looking into a system that will let you type the name of the school in real time similar to the license plate I'll be testing the engine soon hope I can have it ready in a few days
Ok cool! yes please post would love to check it out Ok hoping to look at it soon, it'll be a while before I'm able to mess with the bus again, got do some irl stuff for now
