Why not use a gear linkage, knob and surround from some car?
All the mechanics are allready there, depending on the donor 6 speeds+ down-left-front reverse gear. Only thing to build is gear selector switches onto the car linkage.
the base would be lot thinner, but longer because of the linkage.
I used this dirt layer on one white skin, and for some reason the bonnet looks a bit too clean. could you add a bit more dirt to that area? Look at the line between front fenders and bonnet, I think you could see what I am talking about.
Great guide
ps: I know some self assigned "Demo Police" will start Bit*hing about XRT not beeing a demo car, so I'll save the trouble: LFSViewer is free for all.
Hav driven the Scirocco DSG and manual, also drove 250bhp Leon Cupra with DSG.
The DSG boxes are great, good for everyday cruising in automatic mode and really fast shifters in sport mode. Except driving with the DSG boxes compared to proper manual is like having a rubber woman instead of a real one
The problem is not with changing down by itself, but rather not doing it when needed(that's actually a generic fault with all automatics, not only your simulator). Is it possible ot implement somekind of tiptronic functionality into the sport mode, similiar to the sport mode in current VW DSG boxes?
For example when cruising in Sport mode, the box would behave similar to economic mode(mabye changing gears faster and 500rpm higher), but when flooring it (kickdown) and then returning to cruising, the car would hold lowest possible gear in for 10-15 seconds before returning to normal drive. also in sport mode, when I change gears manually, it would activate sport mode for 10-15 seconds, before changing it(except redline/idle rpm, where the box has to change gear)
The problem was in Car Gears with UF1. Because I didn't change it from 5 to 4 when I changed cars, so it was only noticeable in UF1. The sound was more like trying to floor the throttle in low rpm/high gear and then releasing it again without changing gear. that's why it got me confused.
Could you upgrade the system so, that i could change the up/down (and possibly ignition) keys? I am used to changing gears with mouse scroll, and that way I could use it as a tiptronic gearbox and flick a few gears down before flooring it.
I had a try with it in few Cruise servers today, and it really works. now i can easily cruise along with 5th gear and 2500rpm in automatic mode, rather than 2nd gear and 5000 rpm
Minor bug I found with UF1000 is, that when cruising with 4th gear(or 3rd for that matter) and holding low rpm with steady speed, the engine revs were kind of wavy. like the engine was to weak to hold steady speed and game needed to accelerate-coast frequently to hold speed. This did not happen with high powered cars like RB4. I have not tried it with conventional manual, so it might be general bug and not directly related to your mod.
ps: you mod really reminded me how much I hate automatic gearboxes and why I bought manual. Great work
And who are you to decide if someone is guilty or not? this forum has it's own moderators and administrators. send them a PM about this or be quiet. catching crackers is not your job.
you have no information, even to that that he did the picture. just that he said he did, is no valid proof.
few day's ago someone posted a topic that he discovered a demo player in public S2 server. luckily the topic was closed, because only proof was a screenshot where the "demo player" said he is a cracker.
