Tuning a DCT, how to get faster shifting?

    In my High Power Car Pack, the Sunburst bangs through the gear so quickly (mostly 1-4) that in D mode, it will hang at the rev limiter for a little bit before shifting again. Airspeedometer indicates the vehicle is still accelerating but it's a bit awkward when the transmission hangs like that. I tried messing with the engine inertia and didn't get my desired outcome. I don't see anything in the transmission jbeam that would allow me to configure the speed of DCT shifts. Can anyone help?

    Try to make gears a bit longer.

    That's not a solution I was looking for or I'd have simply done that. For reference, it uses the same final drive and gear ratios as a koenigsegg one:1 with a similar power output

    I mean .. Beam always had a slight issue with ultra high powered vehicles.. Other than fiddling around with the gear lenght I dont know anything. Maybe Push up friction value

    Most of the in-game vehicles use default settings for the VehicleController, so not all are included in the transmission jbeams - but you can add them, and adjust them, for better performing race transmissions.

    I am still 'learning' optimal settings for some high power cars I am building also - so I can only suggest playing with values to see if anything gives you the results you are looking for.

    Good luck! I enjoy using your mod :D

    Try to set it so that shifts easier while there is wheel spin, that is something that could cause this issue.
