(FS 17)Can we have automatic switching of engine economy mode? #438

I know FS 19 is out and all but I was hoping this one was simple enough for one last update. (honest >.>)

I was thinking it could be used for basic simulation of variable valve timing.

Hi,

The engine already goes automatically into ECO mode if you are below 30 km/h (boostMinSpeed) and PTO is off.

Regards, Stefan

Is there a visual indicator of such? Also, can the speed limit be changed on an individual basis?

Mogli12 commented 5 years ago

With "KEY_rshift KEY_3" you enable a speed limiter. It uses the speed limit of cruise control but does not accelerate on its own.

Sorry, I meant the speed at which the engine switches from the economy torque curve to the regular torque curve

You can specify the speed in the configuration:

<gearboxMogli boostMinSpeed="30" ...>
</gearboxMogli>

or

<transmission>
  <transmission name="..." boostMinSpeed="30"...>
  </transmission>
</transmissions>

The flag doesn't seem to work at all. I input different speeds but the vehicle always switches torque curves at 30 km/h regardless.

I looked in the main XML, hoping to find an example line of code but no other vehicle uses the flag either.

EDIT : Ah, ok, figured it out. The tag goes in the engine section. Is there any way the flag can be changed to work off of engine RPM instead of vehicle speed?
