LATEST UPDATE broke the mod, I'll work on updating it, but in the meantime you can fix it yourself by unzipping the mod, moving the shiftlogic file from proper_manual\lua\vehicle\controller\ over to two new folders that you'll have to add proper_manual\lua\vehicle\controller\vehicleController\shiftlogic\ and then zipping it up as it was before. Also, the shiftlogic file was renamed to just manualGearbox.lua if you wanted to use my guide below.
DOES NOT support H-shifters.
REQUIRED that Clutch Assistance and Throttle Assistance are turned on in Gameplay settings. Works with both Arcade and Realistic Transmission modes.
This is a simple shifting logic mod that aims to simulate proper manual transmission shifting by releasing the clutch when the engine revs are matched to the next gear. This makes for a much smoother shift, wears the clutch much less, and feels much more satisfying.
HOW TO USE: This mod works for every manual transmission in the base game, simply select the corresponding transmission in the parts selector that shows (Proper Mod).
TIPS: To shift faster, equip a lighter flywheel or a closer-geared transmission
Additional notes:
- If a shift is not completed within 2 seconds, the clutch will release anyways to prevent excessively long shifts. This will probably be more prevalent on trucks or diesel engines.
- If you want this mod to work universally with all manual transmissions, including mod cars, by default, just find this mod in your repo folder, unzip it, navigate to the \lua\vehicle\controller\ folder, then rename shiftLogic-manualGearboxProper.lua to shiftLogic-manualGearbox.lua, then zip it all up as it was before.
Known Bugs:
- If a shift takes exactly 2 seconds to complete, it may bug out and reset to neutral. Just shift a few times to get back into gear
