It does, check if engine has enough power for higher gears, and if all gearboxes have correct gear ratios.
Tanman 9 Nov, 2024 @ 3:35pm 
it will not go above 3rd in auto

idk why but it keeps skipping second gear

Hmm, I think I better leave it as it is for now, maybe once when I learn LUA.
Uran_Wind  [author] 14 Apr, 2024 @ 6:12am 
Hi. It is a bit complicated, since there is a dynamic detection of the WS axis sensitivity, and both throttle and brake axis are bound to that sensitivity for simplicity. The processed throttle and brake axis values are in lines 137 and 138, you can edit them and split the variable wsSens into two separate variables, and define them as constants ranging from 0.0001 (1%) to 1 (100%).

Hello! I really like this MC, but I have a question. How could I limit the throttle sensitivity, but only the throttle. My truck accelerates too fast for my taste, but if I lower the sensitivity in the seat then the brakes are weird. I have 0 knowledge with LUA so far, but I noticed some values like wsSens, which I´d guess is the sensitivity of the throttle axis, and changing the value after did what I expected it to do, basically the same as if I changed the sensitivity in the seat. I also found a value called thr in the code, I suppose that´s the throttle. Modular engines are pretty much new to me as well.

Подключай к троттлу fuel manifold.
alex_sun 5 Apr, 2024 @ 2:10am 
шикарная штука! спасибо! как ее можно использовать с немодульными движками? просто приделать выход air к тротлу?
Elijah1 19 Mar, 2024 @ 2:48am 
Yeah mine seems to have never updated
all good though
Uran_Wind  [author] 19 Mar, 2024 @ 2:41am 
I already reverted the controller to previous version without the multiplier few days ago.
Elijah1 19 Mar, 2024 @ 2:21am 
Was having big issues with it not starting at all thinking im doing something wrong since my other creation with this MC works fine
But i removed that multiplier and it works perfectly fine now
Quiggs 15 Mar, 2024 @ 9:52am 
Thanks mate fixed, put down a new one but the multiplier is still there says last updated on 14th

Excellent controller by the way love it.
Uran_Wind  [author] 15 Mar, 2024 @ 9:29am 
It is already reverted, but in case remove the multiplier in line 74.
Quiggs 15 Mar, 2024 @ 9:23am 
Any chance of this getting reverted? Or whats the quick way to fix in the LUA?
CommissionerWyatt_B 14 Mar, 2024 @ 7:37am 
Alright good to know
Uran_Wind  [author] 14 Mar, 2024 @ 12:01am 
Fixed the change of the cylinder composite input, now consumed amount of fuel should be divided by 10.
CommissionerWyatt_B 13 Mar, 2024 @ 7:22pm 
What all changed here with update 1.10.5?
lexignatov 8 Jan, 2024 @ 11:20am 
Спасибо, разобрался. Я не ожидал что из 3-х коробок можно получить 8 передаточных чисел! Правда 2-я передача очень близка к 1-й (1,33), а 8-я слишком далека от 7-й (1,80). Но я переделал для себя под 6 передач. Спасибо!
Uran_Wind  [author] 8 Jan, 2024 @ 10:48am 
Привет, в той таблице суммарные передаточные числа, полученные комбинацией отношений всех четырех последовательных коробок. Если ты поменял передаточные хотя бы в одной коробке, то всю таблицу нужно полностью пересчитывать.
lexignatov 8 Jan, 2024 @ 10:16am 
Уран привет, подскажи пожалуйста, где и как в коде можно отрегулировать момент переключения передачи (относительно оборотов двигателя или скорости). Дело в том что я использую другие передаточные числа в коробке. Нашёл на строке 29 таблицу grs с числами, но не смог понять откуда они взяты, т.к. увидел соответствия ни с коленвалом, ни с вращением колёс.

May be a silly request, but would you be able to do one for use with jet engines?
Patrick 24 Aug, 2023 @ 12:14am 
Ended up being an issue with how engines are lossy when putting power back into them. Nothing wrong with the script XD
Patrick 24 Aug, 2023 @ 12:05am 
How does this fair with powerful engines for large trucks? It doesn't seem to want to go higher than 1st gear. When loaded down I'll be going single digit speeds but even manually shifting doesn't change the speed.
Uran_Wind  [author] 14 Jun, 2023 @ 1:50pm 
also steam cut off the most of my long commentary, and i dont want to strain my brain and compose a coherent text in english again
Uran_Wind  [author] 14 Jun, 2023 @ 1:46pm 
The default mode allows you to select the transmission mode when vehicle spawns, so you can spawn it with or without the parking brake turned on.
Release throttle when shifting is an optional feature that automatically releases the throttle right before the automatic gear shifting, to emulate the behavior of a real robotic gearbox.
If the transmission type is Auto, then you can manually select its modes in the sequence: Reverse - Parking brake - Drive - Low gear, as in most real automatic gearboxes. In Drive mode, gears will shift automatically.
Reverse max throttle defines a portion of the full throttle value, because sometimes you need to move slower in reverse than in first gear forward.
alexej.tolstoy 14 Jun, 2023 @ 11:25am 
Thanks for the reply:)

What do you mean by "The number of gears and overall gear ratios are particularly calculated to be as even as possible for 4 gearbox blocks"? What does standard mode do and what does release throttle when shifting do? You wrote "With Auto type, there will be RPDL mode sequence with manual selection." What does that mean? What does reverse max throttle do?
Uran_Wind  [author] 14 Jun, 2023 @ 9:51am 
Thanks. It is already have my modified ECU inside with the most optimal settings, because in most cases you don't get any benefit from a stoichiometry other than 0.5. The drivetrain works as one piece where engine and transmission operations are coordinated. The number of gears and overall gear ratios are particularly calculated to be as even as possible for 4 gearbox blocks and hardcoded inside the ECU. I have a standalone and less functional transmission controller with manual tuning of rps threshold.
alexej.tolstoy 14 Jun, 2023 @ 8:25am 
This is awesome!

Does this work with your ECU? Can i just remove the functions that the ECU already has and that the ECU maybe does better than this one?

Could you make it so that i could use any gearbox configuration and count? So that i could only add a chunk of logic for every extra gearbox i want and do the same changes for every extra gearbox? Maybe have a property slider for each gearbox where you input the gear ratios?
Uran_Wind  [author] 12 Jun, 2023 @ 8:39pm 
Probably you did not connect the crankshaft rps node.
Pingu 3 Jun, 2023 @ 11:20am 
For some reason the controller won't provide any fuel or air outputs they stay at 0, engine is at 20 RPS using starter and toggle is on, it also doesnt provide a clutch pressure output
F25 Key 13 May, 2023 @ 2:03am 
oh wow with this version my truck makes way more power than with the old one and thanks for these amazing mc's
Uran_Wind  [author] 13 May, 2023 @ 1:54am 
Yes, but the stoichiometry is set to 0.5 for maximum engine performance.
F25 Key 13 May, 2023 @ 1:48am 
does this use stoichiometric like the updated mec, or afr?
greenmonkey2013 1 May, 2023 @ 7:41am 
Ignore that, I had an XML pipe in the exhaust and it is working perfectly now. :)
greenmonkey2013 1 May, 2023 @ 7:35am 
I have a problem where the engine cuts out after using the first 2-4L of fuel and I can't figure out whats causing it. Any idea what it might be?
M. Blake 28 Feb, 2023 @ 8:12am 
Hey thanks uran i had logic on torque instead of rps oops lol. This transmission is fantastic! better than any other on the workshop. Its pushing a 16 cylinder modular engine cramped inside a ford raptor (3200lbs) this thing PULLS. Great towing capability as well.
Uran_Wind  [author] 27 Feb, 2023 @ 7:23pm 
Make sure the torque meter is installed after all four gearboxes.
M. Blake 27 Feb, 2023 @ 3:51pm 
The transmission automatically starts in 8th gear? if i manually shit to first then back up it goes from 1st to 8th...
Uran_Wind  [author] 7 Feb, 2023 @ 4:36pm 
Updated and fixed, the brakes now have more power at low speed.
F25 Key 7 Feb, 2023 @ 12:22pm 
thanks, that does seem to be the problem, but i noticed that in the latest version of the controller the brakes dont apply fully when braking, which causes my truck to sort of wobble back and forth a few times when fully stopping, brake sensitivity does affect this issue, but even at 10, it still happens
Uran_Wind  [author] 6 Feb, 2023 @ 10:58pm 
Also infinite fuel mode forces engines to consume the constant amount of air regardless of its pressure, so it makes all superchargers ineffective.
Uran_Wind  [author] 6 Feb, 2023 @ 10:54pm 
Make sure the minimum air pressure measured with pressure sensor should exceed 90 units, if it is not, install a larger air pump. Unlike open air intakes, air pumps limit the maximum air flow, so depending on engine configuration the supercharger may supply less air than the engine consumes with normal aspiration.
F25 Key 6 Feb, 2023 @ 9:42pm 
im having a weird issue, not sure if its even related to the controller but maybe you can help anyways. the problem is that i use this on two different vehicles, on one of them it works fine, but worse when infinite fuel is turned on (i dont normally use infinite fuel so thats fine) but on the other vehicle it makes way less power without infinite fuel. only difference that should matter: the second vehicle has forced induction
john. 21 Jan, 2023 @ 3:39am 
love it
F25 Key 7 Dec, 2022 @ 7:06am 
i just wanna say, its really cool of you that you put this much care and attention to the things you upload and care about the community <3
Uran_Wind  [author] 6 Dec, 2022 @ 4:21pm 
Updated the controller, made the RPS less bouncy, and added the throttle release before shifting as an optional feature. The default properties now matches the defaults of the old controller, with no gear shift delay and faster acceleration.
Uran_Wind  [author] 6 Dec, 2022 @ 11:55am 
Ok, will check it out.
F25 Key 6 Dec, 2022 @ 11:33am 
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2898404598 this has the old version installed (its in the cabin floor, on the right) going into the mc properties and loading the new one into it seems to work, besides that, some buttons are in german, ignore em
Uran_Wind  [author] 6 Dec, 2022 @ 11:20am 
Yes, i can fix that potential issue.
F25 Key 6 Dec, 2022 @ 11:09am 
is this so you can fix the issue with the controller or fix my vehicle? because the latter isnt worth the trouble, as the old controller works just fine, i mainly wanted to inform you about the issue
