Make sure the engine is powerful enough to get the desired RPS at full throttle, and increase the gear ratio on your gearbox.

cant get this thing to go above around 6.2 m/s, any idea why?
Uran_Wind  [author] 16 May, 2024 @ 1:58am 
Yes.

Is it okay to use this in creations I publish on the WS? With credits ofc.

Ohhhh! Right, i totally forgot about that, thank you! Such an amazing Controller, great work!
Uran_Wind  [author] 25 Jan, 2024 @ 12:14pm 
You can switch the reverse engagement from WASD to reverse node in the controller properties.

Oh another thing - how can i get this to work on my boat with a throttle lever? i mean i can get it to run, but i cant get reverse running.
Gariot 23 Jan, 2024 @ 1:03pm 
Awesome work. Did anyone already suggested brake lights? :D Would ba nice addition.

The modular clutch is maxed at 0.8 if the current rps is no lower than target rps, because there almost no extra engine torque passes through the clutch above that number and it smooths out the torque load on the engine.

Started using this over the simple one. Why does my clutch pressure only max out at .63 on my boat? Im not using my full rps/torque that way
Uran_Wind  [author] 25 Oct, 2023 @ 11:17am 
Thanks, fixed.

First of all W Creator W MC. Second, I think that the reverse with WASD feature is bugged man it goes to reverse but it applies Variable brake so it's not moving can you take a look at it?

Updated and added the cruise control feature.
There is no real need to change the stoichiometry to value other than 0.2, since it is the most fuel efficient mode. Although engine has maximum performance at stoichiometry 0.5, the increase in power is less than 10%, so it is not worth to tinker with. Other stoichiometry values less than 0.2 and greater than 0.5 just deteriorates engine performance and fuel consumption.
Montauban 22 Oct, 2023 @ 5:32am 
Can you make a setting that will adjust AFR or stoichiometry slide? and i don't know much about mc's but can you add a Cruise Control Setting that will clamp the current clutch engagement and rps?

I have been looking for this controller for soo long after i found it in a friends build 10/10. Made modular engines a breeze for me
Uran_Wind  [author] 10 Jul, 2023 @ 9:38am 
There may be any gear ratio, as long as your engine can handle its torque load.
DissanNatsun 10 Jul, 2023 @ 6:28am 
what is the optimal gear ratio for top speed? rn i only got 216KMH or so..
Uran_Wind  [author] 8 Jun, 2023 @ 5:27pm 
One gearbox for reverse gear and one optional gearbox for the low gear. First gear ratio of the reverse gearbox can be any, pick it manually to adjust the top speed of your vehicle.
Montauban 8 Jun, 2023 @ 11:33am 
what should be the ratios and how many gearbox should it have ?
Uran_Wind  [author] 10 May, 2023 @ 12:54am 
No, the old clutch has a different torque flow, and all CVTs based on a partially engaged clutch are much less efficient.
StingyBeez 10 May, 2023 @ 12:23am 
Does this work with the old clutch?
Uran_Wind  [author] 22 Feb, 2023 @ 4:40am 
You can just ignore the speed sensor node and remove it, reverse will engage as soon as you press the S key.
Eira Fader 21 Feb, 2023 @ 6:58pm 
hey there how i can i remove the speed requirement i wanna use this micro for a jet ski
molenmelon 8 Feb, 2023 @ 7:17am 
The main problem with that is that atleast on my vehicle full throttle at 8 max RPS the vehicle gets to top speed at 7.6 RPS whilst having the max RPS at 16 and giving 0.5 throttle reaches the same top speed at 10 RPS which is way less economical.
Uran_Wind  [author] 7 Feb, 2023 @ 2:26pm 
The value in range from 0 to 1 you provide as a throttle. You can multiply it by a number less than 1 when the eco mode is enabled to get a lower RPS at full throttle.
molenmelon 7 Feb, 2023 @ 12:23pm 
What do you mean by "max throttle input"?
Uran_Wind  [author] 7 Feb, 2023 @ 9:58am 
You can adjust the max throttle input to be less than 1 in eco mode to reduce the max RPS.
molenmelon 7 Feb, 2023 @ 6:20am 
It would be cool, as i see you have 1 free node on the microcontroller, to have the ability to dynamically adjust the throttle RPS so we can have multiple drive modes like eco, normal and sport which would work best with different max RPS to let the engine rev higher for sport mode or to cap it for eco mode. Other than that this is an amazing microcontroller for performace or economy.
Uran_Wind  [author] 1 Dec, 2022 @ 2:37am 
Yes, although it is designed primarily for wheeled vehicles.
Yeet 30 Nov, 2022 @ 4:10pm 
Quick question, is this compatible with your "ZE Tank Steering" controller?
Uran_Wind  [author] 6 Nov, 2022 @ 10:49pm 
Yep, will update it soon.
Karnivool 6 Nov, 2022 @ 9:02pm 
planning to upgrade this with the new engine logic?
Ludvig30999 24 Oct, 2022 @ 12:16pm 
Hi i was wondering if i could hit you up on doscord as i have some qoestions about how to change the maximum rps slider into a logic node
MisterUnimog 13 Jun, 2022 @ 8:39am 
damm i am working on exactly the same transmission ha ha!
CatWithABat 11 Jun, 2022 @ 10:31am 
Nice tractor transmission
