Quote from Flame CZE :

I don't know what the real turbo pressure should be but surely more than that Big grin

turbo diesel engines usually run crazy high pressure, 2-3 bar on big rigs easily, however diesel engines and their operational characteristics are extremely different from gasoline engines and so far, our editor is too simple for these differences.

For example, a factory 2022 Ford F350 6.7 Turbo diesel here in the US runs roughly 40 psi of boost which is almost 3 bars. Horsepower is 450, torque is 1280 nm... something you can't do in the editor unless you set the pressure at 0.3 bar lol.

The good part about having to run super low boost when recreating a diesel engine in the editor is that the turbo will spool super-fast which is another characteristic of a diesel engine. Those fords will build 3 bar of boost in a blink of an eye. Turbo lag is nonexistent in large diesel engines, it's too small to be noticed.

Quote from Flame CZE :You're right about the max RPM. The real bus has max RPM at 2300 RPM.

I couldn't get the power & torque just right, that's true, but this is the closest we could get Big grin If someone could help me out with getting the curves right, feel free to contact me Smile

Realistic target values:

Power: 148 kW @ 2100 RPM
Torque: 742 Nm @ 1300-1400 RPM
Redline: 2300 RPM

https://barringtondieselclub.co.za/scania/scania-ds11.html

I based this loosely off this 11 liter engine, with less power for this application since the one here is more recent (90's) If the specs you provided are realistic, that means this engine was originally naturally aspirated because the max torque @ rpm is way too high for a turbo 11.9 liter engine. I made one based on the specs you provided as well. Try them, tweak them to your liking.


EDIT:

http://www.kamim.sk/doprava/technika/karosa/700.php

Based on what i've read, the original 1982 bus used a N/A LIAZ ML 635 engine (which explains why i couldn't get the power figures close with turbo) and that a turbocharged variant didn't come out until 1987.

Torque should be coming in a bit lower in a 11.9L engine, and shouldn't rev more than 2500 rpms, i don't know the exact specs of this specific bus and the engine it's using, but i drive trucks IRL and that's usually the characteristics of engines this size.


I love the mod, and you did a great job!

I tried looking everywhere with no avail, but how are you guys accessing the "rotate" buttons under this menu. I have damn near ripped every gray hair off my head by now trying to figure this out lol.

There is no "Upper Control Arm" in the back of the P3 Volvo cars like this one. you have a rear subframe with 1 lower control arm. here is the suspension diagram from V O L V O

Edit: My terminology is also incorrect, the LCA is referred to as a "Trailing arm" (10 in diagram) while the arm that swings up and down with the hub attachment is the actual control arm (8)

Quote from tommer :I have updated my mod with your engine. I gave it a brief try and it felt nice.

Glad you liked it, I had several opportunities to drive 335s in the past 6-8 years and it's a thrilling experience.

^yeah it should be a 3.0 I6 turbo.

Should be something like this, based on the M340i which is close to FZ5 in performance.

Quote from gebinto :Add more power!

Horsepower is OK, the torque just needs to come in 2000 rpm sooner lol

Scawen, is it possible to make ballast weights for "truck" vehicles exceed 200kgs? something along the lines of 5,000kg? or maybe make the ballast a % of total vehicle weight like gross/net?

Just trying to haul actual loads on [TC] lol

Would it be possible to give this a no lightbar option as well so i can use it on TC as civilian? thanks

Quote from detail :Parece que o peso seja 16 toneladas menor do que deve ser. Ou me erro? Qual é o maior peso que LFS permite?

https://www.carris.pt/descubra/frota/autocarros-standard/
Peso (kg)
Peso Bruto: 18600
Tara: 11951

I think the weight is dertermined by the amount of frame points/tubes used. If he just used the simple start frame from the LFS editor then its missing the necessary tubage to make the weight more realistic

Quote from detail :Many people tried this on TC. The problem is it's very wobbly at speeds > 130 km/h, and tends to wobble when you end a turn and switch to upright position. Making stone-hard suspension only slightly increases the speed when this happens.

It's a scooter, not meant for turns that fast, and to be honest a 250cc is too powerful for one. This engine should be in the mosquito while the mosquito engine should be in this Did I Say That?

Quote from TheSevenOfClubs :First of all, sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Regarding the clutch, I did try using sequential in the car. I wasn't the best of ideas for this car; and I think that putting a sequential w/ ignition cut or a paddle shift gearbox is overkill for a car like this. So I reverted to H-pattern.

Regarding the bodywork, I am changing everything. The wing, the rims, the bumpers, etc. About the rims, I don't think that adding lugnuts would make a huge difference in looks, we'll see. And I am going to add different visual configurations, w/ spoiler, w/out spoiler, etc.

About the interior, yes I also am going to change the interior. Btw, do you think the gauges are any decent, or do they need to be changed aswell?

Cheers for the feedback.

You can sacrifice some revs in ignition timing to gain some low end torque and that naturally strengthens the clutch without having to add horsepower. For a 2.7 I5 engine, it should have more torque anyway, something around 400nm.

can you give it the true 320~hp it deserves please? lol it feels severely underpowered with that "gentlemen's agreement" power rating we all know was not true
