Would be an awesome addition. I was thinking about this the other day but I don't think the game engine would support a simulated CVT transmission.
CVT should be possible quite easily. All you need to do is code some logic to change the gear ratio on the fly based on the various parameters (speed, throttle, rpm, etc)
I've been trying to learn about cvts and they are interesting if done right. Girlfriend has a Nissan versa an its CVT is junk. Drove a new accord and its CVT was better than any automatic I've ever driven. Would be cool if we had cvts in offroad vehicles.
My Nissan Maxima's CVT is fantastic; it shaves 0.4 seconds off the 0-60 compared to the previous 6 speed manual or auto it was offered with, and also improved mileage. It even has a fake 6 speed manual mode. Also far smoother than any automatic and there's no kickdown, just instant power.
Only CVT I have handled was in my old Piaggio Zip 50t. Would be a nice option for BeamNG though. My understanding for the rarity of CVT's in cars was to do with them being incapable of dealing with torque easily so are harder to build for the larger engines and weight in a car than for a small 50cc engine.
i think some form of a subaru impreza also has a cvt, along with like every snowmobile ever (40hp? more than 50cc for sure)
Rubber-belt cvts can handle alot if you want to, and most modern day snowmobiles put out alot more than 40 hp
Yeah, it always seemed odd to have to manually shift through 12+ gears and stay in a 500 RPM range of peak torque. A sufficiently strong CVT could do the job much more efficiently and hold the RPM exactly where it needs to be.
Apparently the audi multitronic transmission is a CVT. I originally thought that there were issues with torque, apparently that only applies to certain types. The japanese army's current main battle tank apparently has a CVT.
