Vehicle Ignition System Changes

The issue is that you can hold it for all of 1/4 second and the engine will still start. Something's buggy with it so there's no required amount of time to hold the starter button to start the engine.

 

Yes, and you don’t have to press the brake while starting, which is rather unrealistic

 

That definitely depends on the vehicle, my 2008 Honda Fit doesn't require you to hold the brake when starting, it just needs to be in park or neutral. I imagine on a manual it would require you to brake though.

 

Yeah, but in beamng, its standard across the board.
2016 Honda accord, keyless ignition, hold brake, then start
2019 Subaru ascent, key, hold brake, turn key to start
I don’t know about others, but I’d imagine this is the standard

 

I have never seen a manual requiring you to hold the brake, manuals tend to do a lot less hand holding than automatics. Most don't even require you to hold the clutch, I've seen people driving cars with the starter motor.

 

I definitely know that, in older stuff, they didn't bother with a lot of that safety stuff. I can imagine that in fairly new stuff a lot of it is present.

 

It’s like an optional safety feature I guess? Some cars it’s unnecessary, some others it’s required, and on some it’s optional or recommended

 

Modern manuals at least in Germany wont allow you to start the engine without depressing the clutch, this is to avoid the starter making the car jump several meters if you forget it in gear. Which is a pretty good idea because even very experienced manual drivers once in a while tend to jump start their car by accident.

 

Yes, we have to hold, and the bug is this that starter are really fast that you can start engine with LITERALLY one tap; I have tested safe mode and I know it doesn't relate to mods.

 

S5.5.5The vehicular hazard warning signal operating unit on each vehicle shall operate independently of the ignition or equivalent switch, and when activated, shall cause to flash simultaneously sufficient turn signal lamps to meet, as a minimum, the turn signal lamp photometric requirements of this standard.

I believe that it is still necessary to make a working emergency alarm on the car when the ignition is off and the work of the light beam on police fire and ambulance cars even when the ignition is off

 

is it possible to make it so that when the ignition is turned on, all the bulbs light up except the turn signal lights and headlights?
--- Post updated ---
and also, after all, when the ignition is turned off, emergency lights and a chandelier should work on emergency vehicles even when the ignition is turned off. in reality, all this would work for all cars even with the ignition off

 

Please allow pop-up headlights to stay open when the car is powered off. It's kind of weird they shut when the car is turned off.

 

At least in the vehicles I have driven in real life, the regular lights only work with the ignition on. Which makes sense, because they tend to drain the battery quite fast. As such it is not unexpected that the pop up headlights go down as well.

 

What I've driven IRL so far hazard and parking lights can be always turned on. Even brake lights will turn on with ignition off (but not sure if it works in modern cars).

However there are some other quirks depending of the car brand:
- in German cars if we put a turning signal on it will lit up parking lights only on one side (if we put left turning signal on it will lit up only left parking lights),
- in Citroen, if you turn off the ignition lights will come off, however you can still turn them on if you switch off and on again,
- in 2007 Volvo you can't turn on headlights without running engine (or ignition set on 3rd position?) where in older cars it's possible.

The only thing I don't know are fog lights but I think they works just like the headlights.

So in my opinion whole "light" logic need to be changed. Right now it's very basic and it doesn't really fit anymore to what we have in game.

 

No, I mean the pop-up headlights should stay open, but the light should turn off. This happens in real life.

 

Nice

 

Most of the Japanese cars I've seen or driven doesn't turn the headlights off automatically once the ignition switch is away from the ON position. However, some JDM spec old Japanese cars do have a seperate park light switch that allows the park lights to turn on even if the light switch is at the OFF position. But when these cars were made with the export specification, the place where this park light switch is at will be blanked off, and your headlights would not turn off even if the ignition switch is off.

Other than that a good amount of Korean cars I had tried features the ability to turn off its headlights automatically as u remove the key from the ignition slot. Never really tried a whole lot of European cars here but I do believe they follow a similar scheme on its light system as you've mentioned.

So what I would really want to see implemented is a comprehensive light switch system that allows u to toggle park light or the main beams, while the high beam is only toggled via a different key one could map in.

 

Well, the lightbulbs turn off, but the headlights should stay open, like on the 200BX and facelifted Wendover.

 

isn't it time to update the ignition system already? For example, when the ignition is turned on, all the light bulbs on the speedometer should light up except for the lights and turn signals, and then on old cars the mode of accessories and ignition does not differ, then when the ignition is turned off, emergency lights and parking lights should work, and in the mode of accessories, the fuel and engine temperature indicators and the handbrake light on old cars should not work
