| + | ''ClutchComponent'' is a mandatory ''Powertrain'' component. It is always second in the ''Components'' list.\\ | ||
| + | * ''ClutchComponent'' can be bypassed by setting the output of ''EngineComponent'' directly to the desired ''PowertrainComponent'' but this is not recommended as it will cause stalling in most cases. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Manual Control == | ||
| + | * Untick ''Is Automatic'' to use manual clutch.\\ | ||
| + | * Clutch can be controlled through ''Clutch'' axis - check [[Setup:Input|Input]] section for more info on setting up axes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == PID Controller == | ||
| + | PID controller is used to control ''Clutch Engagement'' when ''Is Automatic'' is true.\\ | ||
| + | * More about PID controllers [[https://pidexplained.com/how-to-tune-a-pid-controller/|here]].\\ | ||
| + | * In general default clutch settings should be adequate for most setups.\\ | ||
| + | * ''PID_Coefficient'' can be adjusted to slow down or speed up clutch engagement. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Slip Torque == | ||
| + | * When ''Has Torque Converter'' is false ''Slip Torque'' is used. Otherwise, clutch will use ''Torque Converter Slip Torque''. \\] | ||
| + | * Slip torque for a normal clutch should be a bit higher than the maximum engine torque. Usually a few hundred to a few thousand Nm. | ||
| + | * Too high ''Slip Torque'' will result in grabby clutch. | ||
| + | * Using too high ''Slip Torque'' values can result in torque spikes when clutch is suddenly released which can impact solver stability in extreme cases.\\ | ||
| + | * Values near zero will result in engine spinning up as if the clutch is not engaged due to clutch slip.\\ | ||
