I posted this as a suggestion a few months ago, and I still think all that needs to be done is the addition of a third shift control set, so you have two more fields to fill out in the controls menu:


Paddle Shift Up
Paddle Shift Down

Sequential Shift Up
Sequential Shift Down

First Gear
Second Gear
Third Gear
Fourth Gear
Fifth Gear
Sixth Gear
Reverse

Because the BF1 (the only car with 7 gears IIRC) uses paddle shifting, we don't need a 7th gear option since no car would use it. Sounds simple enough to me, but I'm not a coder..

In either case, as mentioned, you can setup some scripts to do all of this for you. If I were at home I'd upload my scripts for you but I'm at school (College residence) and won't be home until Saturday evening. If you haven't figured it out, and no one has posted theirs since then, I'll post 'em up for you.

Your solution seems easier than I was thinking, maybe it´s the way to go.

Yep, just adding the paddles would be nice...
However, there would be a big problem with sequential cars because the G25 gear buttons for seq-up and seq-down are respectively 4th gear and 3rd gear.
And because we can't assign at the same time seq-up with 4th, and seq-down with 3rd, we're gonna be in a big trouble for driving road cars. Lemme explain :
- 1st to 2nd : no problem, goes right to second
- 2nd to 3rd : here's a problem, cuz we have at the same time 3rd gear and seq-down... which means, we'll stay in second.
- 3rd to 4th : we would go to 4th instantly, but because it is seq-up, we'd jump to 5th...

I´ve noticed the problem, but for me sequential mess up with 1st and 2nd gear. If I bind sequential up/down keys, 1st and 2nd gears at H-Shifter became unbinded, and If I select the H-shifter, I need to bind the sequential again.

Look in the scripts folder and the carname.lfs files. Should quickly become obvious.

Checked that, but I have no scripts inside (I have fresh install, i´m newbie ) And I can´t figure the script language.

MAGGOT, if you or anyone could post those scripts, i´d appreciate a lot.

Why not?

It could be just a check box: you use it, you check it; if not, leave it as is.

Quote from Shotglass :

in the meantime you can do it manually via scripts

How??

Hi, first post, sorry if has been discussed, did´nt see.

I´d suggest to create an option in the menu to automatically switch the car trasmission type according to the car model. Very useful to people with G25 or with shifters.

I mean, we have 3 kind of cars:

1) shifter, with paddles

2) shifter with lever

3) H shift

Now you have to select them each time you change the car type, and even you need to change button assignments if you want to switch from paddle to lever shifter or viceversa.

Hope it´s a good idea.Thanks!
