[1.6] Daimler Drivetrain Revision

[galimim]

If you want to improve the stopping power using the engine brake, you need to modify the number in the engine file. If you want to add a retarder to a specific step, it is the first number in the auxiliary lines.

Ok thanks

What about making kick down only work with stages 2 and 3 of the engine brake, like Volvos in ETS2?

Also, why do these still have retarders if the animation has been moved? They make the wrong noise when cruise control reduces speed.

[Brozi]

I have a question. Will you add detroit diesel 60 series, or DD 8v92?

[rookie_one]

I don't think he will, the Cascadia and the Western Star 49X don't have these available

[galimim]

Rookie is correct. I won't be adding any older engines.

Can anyone help me to work this good mod with kriechbaum's 3.5 engine sound mod?

[Jarrad]

@samuelchoi what do you need?

Can anyone help me to work this good mod with kriechbaum's 3.5 engine sound mod?

You just need to open each engine's .sii and change the

Code: Select all

@include "sound.sui"

for

Code: Select all

@include "sound_dd13.sui"

or

Code: Select all

@include "sound_dd15.sui"

depending on the engine.
The easiest way for me to do it was opening all DD15 engine files into NotePad++ and use the replace feature and clicking on "replace on all opened files" and then the same for the DD13 files.
Hope that helps

Hey @galimim, it's not your fault, but the 400hp, 1750lbft DD13's torque curve is wrong. Daimler has like, no variant specific torque curves or anything, nor contact information. But yeah. The engine you configured actually makes 494 horsepower at 1650 RPM. So obviously, there's a huge torque dropoff by the time the integrated DD13 reaches 1650RPM since it only makes 400hp, but we don't know the shape of it, and we don't know how long the torque plateau is. Ugh. I'm gonna send an email to a local Freightliner dealer to see if I can get any information.
