Hello,
I notice a different behavior in engine brake and cruise control interaction on 1.40 compare to 1.39.
My use case: I use only increase and decrease engine brake binding, not using engine brake and toggle key, when driving I increase the engine brake to 1 or 2 level and leave it there, so it’s always on.
In1.39, engine brake stops working when:
1. Press gas
2. Press clutch
3. RPM too low
4. Activate cruise control
In 1.40, 1~3 are the same, deference is on 4.
4. I can not activate cruise control unless decrease the engine brake to 0.
I don’t know which one is the intended behavior?
But I think 1.39 make more sense, there is warning about retarder activated so can not activate cruise control, but no warning for engine brake, it simply not activating.

I also noticed this behavior on ATS. I preferred it as it was before.

This has changed.

Engine brake can control retarder now. There is array auxiliary_brakes in accessory_engine_data units and works in similar way as same-named array in accessory_transmission_data. The only difference is ordering - engines auxiliary brake triplet is in order [engine_brake_strength, downshift, retarder_strength].

To be fair, manual control of engine brake, AFAIK, SHOULD deactivate cruise control.

yup IRL you cannot by law have CC and retarder nor engine brake on at the same time.
Re: Engine brake and cruise control behavior 1.40
Understood, then SCS may need to add the warning of "cruise control can not set" for engine brake, just like the retarder one.

Re: Engine brake and cruise control behavior 1.40
hello, I have posted similar under technical problems - for me it does not work as intended to work with auxiliary brakes - retarder and engine brake do not work together at all.
