AC: What should Gear Shift De Bouncing be set to? Using T500

Rick Malm · Jun 8, 2014

Questions re AC Shifter settings that might help me and other new drivers of AC:

Shifters: What should Gear Shift De bouncing be set to? I only use the T500 paddles, no clutch.

Thanks Rick

Gearshift debounce is the time (usually in milliseconds) before you can shift down another gear after shifting down a gear, if that makes sense. It's a setting to keep you from downshifting twice by accident, some paddle shifters do have that problem occasionally.

So is the default a good time to use (50msec) for the Thrustmaster T500 paddles. More often I attempt a shift and it does not happen (race start). Almost like their is a min time to old the shift down before releasing.

I've found no difference between the default of 50ms and 0 so I would just leave it at default. AC will not allow you to shift into gear before the race starts which I've often thought was silly.

Before i was using on default ..had no issues with shifting.
Later, after iv instaled h shifter i switched it to 0 (still dont know why)
Aandd..from time to time appers that i double switch gears when im racing on paddles.
Il switch it to default again.

Thank you Kevin for great info!

btw. im using t500
