How about the driver puts his hand on the gear leaver near the required RPM (or when the clutch is pressed) so that he is ready for a change

Oh not this again.
When i flick the paddle that is the FIRST time LFS knows i want to change - you'd then have to play a (albeit short animation) of the driver moving his hand to the gear stick and change gear.

I hate to ask but did you just read the first couple of posts and then post your huge post of wisdom.
It has been shown in this thread WHY the animation lags and there is even a timeline showing WHY the animation lags. If you have gone through the thread and still fail to understand you are a lost cause.
Please rewind to page one and read ALL of the posts. If you still need to ask please feel free so we can see the level of your stupidity and know how slowly we neeed to talk so that you can see.
No one else has to see the change, its no different then the animation of the moving his arms when you turn the wheel. If the animation is only done locally it would cause near no visual performance issues. It would not lag in the least as there is no need to process anything server side for an animation that is done locally.
*sigh*
Lag doesn't have to mean Internet lag.
Sure it does,
Lag is used in place of Latency.
"Latency is the proper name for the time it takes a packet of information to be sent from the sender to the receiver over a network."
What your talking about is drop in frame rates due to inadequate processing power.
People just need to be more specific I guess : \. That and they need to calm the hell down. People just jump on you for anything you say, its always wrong, and your always a noob. heh, which is why in my 5 years of playing this game i have but 50 posts.
No, what i'm on about is lag - latency, whatever. Lag doesnt have to mean internet, it can JUST mean latency.
how about having the hand be permanently ON the shifter like Dr. Toshiya Joushima (AKA: god hand) from initial d

Hah, bud, but latency mean internet. It is the time it takes for a packet to travel from its source to destination through the internet. So when you say latency/lag, thats what is coming out, it may not be what you are meaning, but thats what it is : P
what?! Latency does NOT mean "internet". latency can be used on memory for example (CAS LATENCY). Can be used in other stuff, to...
You know what, you are correct in that. I have forgotten about it being used in that fashion. Do accept my apologies kind sir.
Nice
agree
@ontopick
If lfs it´s mean Real simulation Shoul have the gear change animation
also too for sequential gears when the GTR interiors be finish
But i dont wanna say do it now , lfs need thing to improve more urgent
Like colisions detections and others thing , i sugest this but with a realy low priority
*sigh*
Why are there so many STUPID PEOPLE that have no understanding of what words actually mean mean
All lag means is that an expected action occurs LATER than expected. Go and look it up.
Is that so hard to understand. When we say the animation will lag it means the animation will happen AFTER the gear has changed. You will change gear and then you will see the driver change gear.
We do not mean it will effect FPS, net connections or ANYTHING ELSE.

You want the driver to have his hand on his knob constantly?!
of course! of course! a horse is a horse!
That's dangerous
You'll also be attracting the "a real driver wouldn't be driving with one hand!" (aka the realism brigade).oh, right,
I usually drive with one hand on wheel, other on shifter D : but thats because my car rips through gears so damn fast >_<
do you do 4 wheel slides to clear narrow corners? 
Try to, but in Tampa theres not much of anything to do, to many stupid drivers and old people : \
Because this is not cartoon but a race simulation and if you han not noticed drivers normally hold the wheel when they do not need to change gear because they need to control the car.
[sarcasm]yeah, we should also include Ronald McDonald, and we should have Naruto and Sasuke, and perhaps even some pokemon running around the track, you know you gotta catch them all![/sarcasm] 
Please don't say your seat is also low so you can only just see over the dash and your arms are at full reach as well just to hold the wheel.
If you actually really do push your car and only have one hand on the wheel you are asking for a MAJOR smash.
Guess its your life you are playing with. Just hope you don't kill someone that has nothing to do with your stupidity
