Hello everyone, I'm wondering if there are cars with unsichronized mechanical transmissions, i.e. the ones that require double clutching for shifting gears. Here's a video to illustrate what I mean: Are there such cars in BeamNG among the default ones or maybe is there a corresponding mod? Do we have at least the support for such feature in the sim at all? Thanks!
theres a way to make this work in the games code, theres variables in the t series that look like they were meant to simulate that but got deactivated and i managed to make it "work" but i forget how
That would be cool with a wheel. But as someone who no longer plays with a wheel(A family member Somehow wedged the arm of my computer chair under the wheel in such a way that it bent and broke my g27 ) Idk how double clutching would work on controller.
No vehicle in the base game requires double clutching. Non-synchronous transmissions are unrepresented in the base game mostly because the game doesn't feature any cars from an era where it would make sense to have an non-synchronous transmission. Synchronizers became commonplace a very a long time ago - they where first introduced in 1928 and by the 1950's most cars had them in all forward gears. To have a non-synchronized transmission in a car in the game without just tossing one where it doesn't make sense we'd need a car from an era currently unrepresented in the game, the 40's or earlier. Personally, the only three cars I've ever driven in real life with non-synchronous transmissions where all built before World War II.
A quick google search reveals that they were still being sold in the 70s, albeit mostly in commercial vehicles. https://www.curbsideclassic.com/aut...ronized-first-gear-grinding-gears-until-1976/
If you read the article it does say the Dodge Dart and Plymouth Valiant had unsynchronised first gears until 1972, which is why I said "mostly" .
And that is why my original post also makes use of the word "most". Drawing hard lines is never a good idea on the internet, someone will always come along and post a comprehensive list of exceptions.
