Rim Pull Control

Controls maximum tractive effort (rim pull) on heavy equipment. Limits wheel torque to prevent tire spin in low-traction conditions, commonly used on wheel loaders and construction equipment.

Hooks

HookDescription
init(jbeamData)Connects to the vehicle's torque converter.
updateGFX(dt)Reads the input.rimPull axis. High input values reduce torque converter impeller engagement and automatically apply brakes, allowing for precise low-speed power management.
module.reset(jbeamData)Resets the controller to its initial state.

Combustion Engine Governor

Electronic engine speed governor that limits maximum RPM or maintains a target idle/operating speed. Used on diesel engines in trucks and heavy equipment to prevent over-revving and maintain stable operating speeds under varying loads.

Dual-Axis Lever Animation

Animates a prop lever that moves on two axes simultaneously (e.g., joystick-style controls). Maps two input values to X and Y rotation of the lever mesh.
