"Sport" gear for Automatics

That's what I do with the cars I make for my mod. I set the transmission to shift 100-200 rpm before redline

 

Well I suppose that answers the OPs question then. Is there also a way to set the trans to downshift as soon as you get below the powerband? If so then the answer to the thread is a definitive yes. I'm not sure if OP just wanted to know if it was possible, or if he wanted an explanation on how to do it, but if it was the latter you'd be one of the folks who could tell him how.

 

Yup. You can specify 4 points, as shown below:

Code:

"engine":{
  "transmissionType":"manual",
  "dct":true
  "lowShiftDownRPM":4600,
  "lowShiftUpRPM":8900,
  "highShiftDownRPM":4600,
  "highShiftUpRPM":9600,

low shift down rpm: this is the rpm the transmission will shift down at if you have low throttle (e.g. pressing throttle halfway but still need to shift down for more power)
low shift up rpm: this is the rpm the transmission will shift up at if you have low throttle.
high shift down rpm: this is the rpm the transmission will shift down at if you are mashing the throttle.
high shift up rpm: this is the rpm the transmission will shift up at if you are mashing the throttle.

For this transmission example, the transmission will only shift into a higher gear at 8900 rpm, even if you have 1% throttle pressed. But if you have it mashed down, it will wait until 9600 rpm. A throttle at say 50% will shift down in between those two values, somewhere like 9300 rpm

And no matter what, you will shift up when your rpm gets below 4600, which is precisely where the power band in my engine starts to taper off.

 

Yeah that's what I mean, but only without the upshifting when you let go of the throttle for "economical" reasons. I would like to have one position for the normal "Drive" mode to drive as economical as possible(like the Drive mode in-game now) and another for the "Sport" mode, so it won't shift up when you let go of the throttle and the Engine revs higher.

 

My mods transmission sort of does this. it will shift up for eco reasons but the rpm will always stay above 4600, and the second you hit the throttle again, it will shift down so there's no lag on power

 

Yeah but I suppose it's permanently above 4600 rpm. It would be great if you could switch between the modes.

 

getting a bit off topic but if there is going to be a sport gear then why not have an eco gear, like the lincoln town car has, PRNDDL with one of the D's being for economy and L for setting off fast
I think this will be done alongside torque converter simulation, the transmission system does need an overhaul, estama coded it WAAY back, quite a bit before the pre race update, its in the dev blog
