[1.30] Mercedes-Benz Drivetrain Revision

[oscu0]

No engines/gearboxes for the 8x6 variant of Dotec's MP3 introduced in the latest update, and no xx65 badges either.

[galimim]

Uploaded a fixed version. Download link stays the same.

[oscu0]

Are you sure you have uploaded the new version? I downloaded at 00:30 GMT+3 and there is no mention of either chs_8x6_a.mercedes.actros_mp3.chassis or chs_8x6_b.mercedes.actros_mp3.chassis in any of the engine defs/

[galimim]

Yes. 8x6 and 8x4 are v8 only.

Update for Dotecs trucks

[xXCARL1992Xx]

did you do an update recently ? i get zlib errors for the V8 bank when i use Dotecs MP3

[galimim]

Last one was the fix for Dotecs trucks (chassis compatibility) that you have brought to my attention in the start of February.

Hi, @galimim. Can you help me tweak the following engine & transmission in a realistic way so the maximum speed limit is somewhere between 70-80 yet it can carry a load up to 125-150t on the ramp without being stuck there?

I want to use it in my ballast chassis mod(viewtopic.php?t=306427).

[galimim]

Not sure what you mean. These are the realistic settings. The only change that can be made is to increase the diff ratio in order to pull heavier loads.

[al_batros]

@xeviax, did you have a look at the g280tr / g330tr transmissions in the mod?
Mercedes calls them G280-16 TRC and G330-12 TRC. (TRC=Turbo Retarder Clutch)
Look for the

Code: Select all

stall_torque_ratio: 1

in the transmission file.
This basically replaces the clutch with an Allison-like "clutch", but without the torque-multiplier found in an Allison.

From the MB Powertrain Brochure:
"""The innovative TRC starting and braking element unites hydrodynamic start-up and hydrodynamic braking functions into one system. Unlike conventional torque
converter solutions, engine output is transferred by a fill level regulated, fluid turbo coupling.
- Wear-free start-up and maneuvering due to the hydrodynamic transfer of power with no time limit due to variable turbo coupling input.
- In conjunction with the large gear ratio spread, it is possible to maneuver heavy loads with millimeter precision, even when tractional resistance is high.
- Braking with no wear due to integrated primary retarder function and patented coupling configuration."""
