Exactly my point, Live for Speed has potential to evolve, to become something...

Lets hope the enthusiasm doesnt stop at the players but could be felt by developers and man is it really all up to Scawen by himself to make changes/code new things??? Seems kinda wild tbh

Quote from ScammerGamerLOL :

just steal beamng code claim as own xd

Delete that

Some race cars use automatic or variants of automatic transmissions, if not combining both manual or automatics with electronic inputs or assists...

and thats a a fact

If it has an airbag its not a race car, might clear things up so i get what u sayin.

Quote from gtamax89 :

None of all the cars you named are a racing car.

Your in such a hurry to rebuttal you missed the first thing i responded to your claim with
"Ummm When u say race cars, are u meaning factory race cars that dont have road examples ? Or track breed only type?"

Ummm When u say race cars, are u meaning factory race cars that dont have road examples ? Or track breed only type?

Imo if it can switch between automatic and tiptronic its an automatic. And if its a sports car or production mid sport/high performance car, it can be street raced or track raced

heres just a few production cars with automatic transmissions that are performance cars as well:

GTR35
Mustangs with the 6peed automatics
Mercedes 63's or any AMG from 2016

Cant forget theres a automatic transmission for every manual transmission production car,
their called "options" or "trims" in my country

Porsches, Lamborghinis, even alfa romeo guilias and jaguars F types and ferraris and BMW M4 M5 M3 M6 are all automatics with DCT or tiptronic(2008-present) u can find manual M3 or M4 to be fair

Audi quattro and all RS models all have either automatic 7speeds or 6 speed manuals, their all offered as options

Camaro SS from 2016-now is fitted with either 10 speed auto or manual 6 speed and its a track bread car
Theres even air shifting now in drag racing

Pressing buttons on the back of the steering wheel wins races. And theres no shortage if automatic race cars out here

I mean lets be real, in a drag race or street the automatic will outshift the manual and allows the driver to focus on the driving rather than driving + transmission operating.

just wanted to point that out. But i get where u coming from when u said "race cars arent automatic" hehe

Normally the mass production road versions debut first then the racing versions are made, unless theres an instance where thats not the case and we got race car first then production car after

After driving automatics for years i wouldnt expect Scawen to even attempt to incorporate automatic operations in the game, the automatic transmission is a really complex system tbf and if adding more gears is that technical, imagine making a automatic ECU operations in the game, since u can kinda trick the SHIFT + G into thinking 3500-4000RPMS is redline for now i think thats the way to go but the downshifting area in the tachometer would be nice to manipulate like the redline slider in engine editor so it doesn't aggressively downshifts into oblivion lmao

Wrong

Quote from Scawen :

And not only the interface, also the setup file format. Other things are already...

Oh no worries Scawen when i said "maybe saying majority is a stretch" i was talking about me when i said that and the reason why i said that was ive had experience with 8 and 9 speeds irl and also just wanna say i drove a hyundai elantra coupe looking rental car when i did a tune in my Bmw and was shocked it had a 9 speed autimatic with tiptronic, in a hyundai elantra ?!?!?!?but i understand and just wanna say thanks to everyone in here that engaged with the suggestion. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I'm quite sure it's not as simple as changing one variable in one line of code...

Understandable..

Quote from Facu23 :

Those are all street cars...

number of gears in a transmission can be "racing things" too
Ford put 10 of them behind a 4cyl engine

Surely adding 2 more gears to LFS wouldnt take 3 months to add and honestly its a suggestion with actual irl applications, just cause its a racing simulator doesnt mean it should only have racing car gearboxes only, .. i mean we have pickup trucks, semi's, busses and WW|| tanks so coding a lil string from 1~7 to 1~9 wouldnt hurt anyone right? and also make it lock the amount from inside editor

Btw theres street car mods everywhere in the game. Not sure what u meant by those are all street cars when LFS has a ton of street cars proving my point if they in LFS why not allow more gears for them and future mods that may carry more than 7 speeds, i cant be demanding too much... am i?

Sure but I have my doubts that 7,8,9 speed gearboxes are fitted to the...

Maybe saying "majority" might be a stretch but here are examples and applications of 8-10 speed transmissions used in many production vehicles.

I wanna keep this short and straight to the point, would it be possible to add more gears in the transmissions like max 10 ? As majority of modern vehicles carry 7 to 8 or even 9 speeds, and would be good for the semi truck mods as well, just a simple request.
