WIP Beta released Jetside Special 2.0a3

What is it? Did you get help???

 

Well, I had a thought in bed where my best thinking seems to occur on messing with a certain torque converter attribute and I got the car drive-able again. It's difficult because the vehicle is running at high rpms/I can't actually simulate a jet engine therefore, it likes to put down an insane amount of power at idle. The only way to get past this is to have an extremely weak torque converter, and I mean weak. Changes in increments of 0.05 can have massive changes.

I'll post an update as soon as I can but, it's coming back!

 

So, long story short, this mod has been an utter pain and I hate torque converters now. Simulating (or mocking) a jet engine on a piston engine makes the game hate you.

After many hours of arduous trial and error, I finally bring an alpha of version 2.0 of this mod. Here's a changelog

• Powertrain completely remade from scratch to use the new system in the game.
  • Spent hours tuning torque converters to be just right. This took me the longest.
  • Spent more hours tuning transmission variables as the torque converters had to be made to be extremely weak and shift points didn't like to work.
• Remade the radiators.
• Fixed broken part configs.
• Added new drag variant.
• Fixed a few bugs along the way.

What's gonna be in beta?

• I'm trying to get an engine startup sound into the mod (have the sound, need to find how to get it working how I want).
• Potentially think about an engine model but don't count on it.

I'm releasing this now as-is because I'm currently on spring break and will not have the time to sit and work on mods after then until May. I hope that releasing this early (by my standards) will allow me to fix bugs while I have time.

Current known bugs:

• Color selection doesn't work. I'm looking into it
• No engine sound from 0-~7000 RPM. This is planned for a startup sound.

Enjoy!

Hello,

I recently made a video covering this mod, and it would be great if you featured it! Also props to you because I downloaded this a long time ago and thought it was never coming back.
