Is it possible to make something like Chrysler's autostick? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostick#Chrysler_Autostick
I mean... I don't see why not... It's basically just like the manual with auto clutch, except it's an automatic. Should be fairly simple to code in LUA I would imagine.
Isn't it sort of backwards from that, an auto with manual capabilities? But yes it should be fairly simple. I'll dig through the wiki to learn the LUA.
Well yes, but what I meant was its behavior is similar to that of the manual with auto clutch in game.
No, a DCT is a manual controlled by paddles. An autostick or tiptronic is a automatic, but you can change what gear you want the torque converter to be in. You can even start in 2nd or 3rd gear, but you still have the advantage of a torque converter.
Minus the redline fail safes and the firmer shifts, the newly added manual mode for automatics in Alpha 0.8 behaves a lot like autostick already. Auto ETK 800/ K-Series have it. Just add M to the automatic modes (e.g. PRND21 becomes PRNDM21, can remove the 2 and 1 if desired) in the transmission's Jbeam. (Usually in 'carname'_engine for vanilla vehicles, transmissions almost always near the bottom.) Will very likely mess up shifter animations without further edits.
Except DCT allows for full auto shifting? I am not sure how autostick works but it really does seems like too similar to DCT.
DCT = Dual Clutch Transmission An autostick is an auto where you can tell it what gear you want the torque converter to go into.
So its pretty much the same planetary gear arrangement but allowing for manual shifting of the same internals? interesting and also...a bad idea.
