Compatibility

Hi quadural, I have a quick question. Is your “More Realistic” mod compatible with “realismAddongearbox” by modelleicher? As long as they don't conflict with each other.

Hi, "More Realistic" is a new game engine. And so, if another "lua/script" mod is not written for MR, there is very high probability to get slight to severe conflicts when playing.
I don't test any other mod which means I can't answer with certainty. But by default, I would say "no". "More Realistic" is already messing "a hell lot" with the transmission = another mod doing the same would cause conflict.
If what you want is getting a proper "clutch" : I already spent some time trying to see what could be done with the Giants game engine, and I didn't find any solution. there is no mean to modulate the torque between the engine and the transmission. And there is no way to modulate the rotation speed between the engine and the transmission either (ON/OFF behavior). Which means we can't get something "realistic" as far as I am concerned.
Regards.

No problem. I know your mod will be incompatible with a few other mods. For example, with the CVT Addon I tried using, it’s difficult to get the engine curve to the right level so the engine isn’t limited by RPM, but when I tried your standalone “More Realistic” mod, the CVT transmissions rev too loudly going downhill and the engine RPMs fluctuate pretty wildly. Instead, I’m using the realismAddongearbox; I switched from CVT to manual and PowerShift transmissions with hydrostatic combine harvesters that fully support realismAddongearbox. On the other hand, I understand that it must be quite challenging for Giants Software to fine-tune those more precise engine curves in the mod.

@Chronak-maker Hey, even if realismAddon gearbox worked well with More Realistic and I think modelleicher added support in one of the updates so it would work with the MR mod this mod isn't working at the moment anyway. modelleicher himself opened two threads in the Issues category stating that the mod doesn't work, and we haven't seen him since he hasn't fixed anything, so right now the mod just doesn't work on its own.

QuenoGames Yeah, I know about this situation—I just wanted to make sure, you know? Even so, there’s still a lot of work to be done on those mods. And it’s a huge challenge for other mod authors, too—with other mods, it’s a real headache because they’re really struggling with the engine curve. This one from Giants for FS25 is a total maze.
