Automatic shifting logic
I know there was once some mod out there that made the automatic shifting more logic.

But my suggestion is that they will implent a more realistic shifting behaviour.

The idea is that when you don't floor it, like when you're just cruising on some cruise server, the automatic transmission will upshift faster, and not keep the needle in the power band all of the time. So lets say you speed up to 100kmh, and then you keep driving that, with like 10% throttle imput, after a few seconds, it will shift up to like 5th gear @2000 rpm or so.

This way the engine will not keep screaming at 6k rpm when you're in some 120kmh zone.

To give an idea of what I mean:

If you combine this idea with my other automatic clutch suggestion, it could give a nice realistic transmission experience.

For cruising it is a good idea to have realistic auto transmission.

But it is a racing game and it would have a negative effect on racing:
In mid corners when you are not flooring it it would upshift and you'd lose time.
Although i don't think anyone uses automatic transmission for racing, but still.
Quote from THE WIZARD DK :PACT made an auto transmission mod of some kind. ask them perhaps , it seems to work fine actually.

for long cruising its perhaps useful. but in normal driving i would get very bored driving with it.

i do switch back and forth inside lfs at times but in racing im on manual .

idk what app you used in the video. but it looks different than the pact one ive seen. maybe its an older version i saw idk. but as i understood the PACT one. it could be set to different modes. if creep was one of them i cant remember as i do not use it myself. maybe you can light me up on that one then Smile

EDIT:

ty.

Lets hope it gets implented in the base LFS game, and not only for 6 speed transmission. Smile
