Manual gearbox use simulated mechanical failures

[Lesthegringo]

Hi all

I recently redid my DIY H pattern gearbox, and am very happy with my revamped version. Much better all round, although a few tweaks will hopefully make it even better.

However I am finding that when driving manual cars (my favourite is the Ferrari 312T4) I am constantly getting the flashing indicator that I have broken the virtual gearbox. This is not when buzzing the engine on the over-run, it is on down changes where the gearbox flashes yellow and the gear does not take. It feels like I am shifting correctly, waiting for the revs to drop etc, but I obviously am doing something wrong. I use the clutch, and try to heel and toe to match speeds but despite this I keep getting the messages

So I want to ask, what are the triggers that the game uses to define a fluffed gearchange? Obviously over-revving on the downchange, but that is engine related not gearbox.

Cheers

Les

It feels like I am shifting correctly

Have you check at what point in clutch travel AC considers clutch engaged?

Mine by default engaged very near the fully depressed limit,
making clean shifts unnecessarily difficult
and at odds with degressive clutch feedback.

Good point, I will check that - most likely it is the same as you describe

Once I am home from work I will look into it
