It would be cool and handy if you could switch between high and low range, between 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive. if you could program that into the game that would be sweet and make the game vary realistic.
You can't change between high and low range unless going into manual mode, but you can change 4WD to 2WD by removing the front transfer case.
Had this working a while ago in a script I wrote. Unfortunately it's impossible for devs to implement code made by the community at the moment for legal reasons. And because the devs are incredibly busy, they don't have the time at the moment to improve these things themselves either :/ It's a pretty easy script though, so I'm sure they'll add support for this at some point
