Bug Reporter (IMPORTANT)
Spoiler:  
Show

This mod now uses/includes my bug reporter tool.
This tool will generate a .zip file containing all the files I need to help you with problems.
For this mod. This includes the following files/folders:
  • Your My summer car savegame (whole folder) -> AppData\LocalLow\Amistech\My Summer Car
  • All setting files from the ecu mod (save files/config files of the ecu mod) ->
    <Mods install location>/Mods/Config/Mod Settings/DonnerTech_ECU_Mod
  • ModLoader output_log.txt (located in your games install folder)

All these files will be added to the zip file.
The zip archive is protected by a random generated password.
This password is shown to you after the successful creation of the report.
This password is only shown AND known to YOU.
An id is also generated and shown to you.

After generation of the report you have two options:
  • Send me .zip files as a private message, including the password
    or
  • Press Yes after generation of the report. This will upload the report to my sever.
    You then only send me the id (or part of it. I should be able to find it with just part of the id usually)
    And the password in a private message.
    I will then get back to you after checking the files.


Notes about option 2.
Spoiler:  
Show

After uploading of a report. Your ip will be banned from uploading more reports for 10minues!

Your ip is stored in a database.
After deletion of your report (7days -> see below) this database entry is removed.

Files are uploaded without SSL!!!!
This is unfortunately a limitation of the outdated unity engine version.
(There is a bug in the unity version preventing ssl communication).
No sensitive data is beeing uploaded.

Files are deleted from the server when older than 7days every sunday at 0:00.
Example: You upload a report on Saturday.
The file will be deleted after ~2weeks because:
on the following day (Sunday) all files are checked if they are older then 7days, if yes they will be removed.
So your file would not be deleted as it is only ~1day old. It would then be deleted the following week on sunday.

If you want your file to be removed from my server. You can message me with the id of your report and I will remove it.

Existing reports on the server can be downloaded by using this website:
MSC Bug Report downloader


The tool is designed to be usable by every mod maker.
If you want to use this tool in your own mod. You can write me a private message and I will explain to you how to add it to your own mod.

Your mod can then also upload reports to my server.
You as the mod maker can then access a report by going to this page: MSC Bug Report downloader

If a mod maker abuses the system. The mod will be banned from uploading to the server.
If a user abuses the system. The user will be banned from uploading to the server.

Fuel injection
Spoiler:  
Show

This works best/most realistic with a controller (analog input)
If you don't want to use one/can't use one there is an optional checkbox in mod settings that will "simulate" a controller input (car might/will accelerate slower/gradually)

This is something new.
This replaces the old carburator system with a full fuel injection system.
This includes electric throttle bodies, electric fuel pump, injectors, fuel rail and some other parts + more parts at some point (maybe).

How it works / How to get it working
Spoiler:  
Show

  • Remove racing carb (or any other carb)
  • Remove fuel pump
  • Remove electrics
  • Remove distributor

Then:
  • Install fuel injection manifold where the racing carb was
  • (unpack them from the box before) Install the injectors into the small holes on the manifold (1 - 4)
  • Install the fuel rail ontop of the injectors
  • (unpack them from the box before) Install throttle bodies (1 - 4)
  • install the new electric fuel pump behind the new manifold on the right side of the fire wall.
  • Install the fuel pump cover plate that goes where the original fuel pump was installed

Then make sure every screw it tight (8x "click")
If everything is installed 100% red wires will show up.

  • Next take on of your programmable chips and the programmer itself.
  • Next hold the chip onto the programmer center (~ the screen center) and install (like any other part)
  • The chip will be installed on the slot of the programmer.
  • Aim at the programmer. Text will appear letting you know what to press to do what...
  • When the ui is opened. Start programming your fuel map. Good luck
  • When done (don't forget spark timing) press write chip... If everything is good (if not errors will be shown) below the map table.
  • If writing was successful the ui will close and the chip is placed on top of the programmer.
  • Take the chip and insert it into the smart engine ecu module below the passenger seat.
  • Your car should now start up (depending on your fuel map it might not run well/ at all but it should atleast start for a short time.
  • Repeat programming to get a perfect map

creating the fuel map has alot of potential.
Just some examples:
You can tune the car to have good low rpm torque for nice acceleration from a start (or in a rally in corners)
Or tune it to have more power at the high rpms (lean mixture).


Good luck.
fuel map are stored in a .fuelmap file (you can for example share them with others).

ECU info panel (how to use and what does it do)
Spoiler:  
Show

  • The info panel is a big screen fitted infront of the original dashboard meters.
  • It replaces all of them including
  • high/low beam indicator
  • rpm needle.
  • km/h display (goes above 250km/h)
  • Blinker left/right indicator
  • Adds gear indicator
  • Adds calculated l/km and km left based on that
  • Adds a page for the turbocharger mod showing values of the turbo (like pressure)
  • Has several different pages switchable using the arrow keys on the panel ("USE" key or mouse left) or KeyBindings
  • Carb autoTune for ECO and Race (will adjust the rockershafts to the optimal value and then adjust the carb either best for fuel saving (lean) or best performance (rich)
  • Condition page: some information about the condition like oil quality
  • Wear page: will display the ~ wear showing in "Good" "Warning" or "Danger"
  • Several ajustable values (not saved) like rev limiter rpm.
  • Reverse camera view


The archive includes the gimp files for all images used on the panel.
You can modify them and replace them ingame by renaming them and adding "OVERRIDE_" infront of them
example: assistance_page.png => OVERRIDE_assistance_page.png

and then placing them into your assets folder of the ecu mod.


PARTS have to be installed in correct order, otherwise no install message will be shown
-> first Mounting plate! then everything else as you wish

Most parts have to be screwed in. To screw them in take the correct spanner/ratchet in hand and aim at the screw. When it turns green you can screw it in like any other screw.

How to use
Spoiler:  
Show

Install modules you want (mounting plate, cable harness and control panel are needed)

ABS: will make breaking (not HANDBRAKE) easier/safer

ESP: will help with holding the car in a straight line
-> to be more precise: car will follow your commands better

TCS: will prevent tire slip (slower acceleration)

ALS (smart engine controller):
When enabled and having the turbocharger mod installed will make it backfire more when hitting revLimiter

2StepRevLimiter/Launch Control
(smart engine controller):
enable and accelerate while standing (will disable while driving automaticly.
Engine rpm will stay at the set speed (default 6500)
Hold SPACEBAR (Handbrake) and go into first gear
when ready to launch let go of Handbrake...
Car will go forward FAST!!!! with max torque

(best to be used without TCS and with ABS and best tyres)

How to use cruise control
Spoiler:  
Show

  • For the cruise control to work:
  • mounting plate has to be installed and screwed in
  • cable harness has to be installed.
  • smart engine module has to be installed and screwed in
  • cruise control panel has to be installed
  • electricity has to be on
  • You need to set a speed equal or above 20km/h
  • You also have to drive atleast 20km/h or it won't enable.
  • If you press the brake, clutch or handbrake it will be disabled.
