Experimental MAN TGS Realistic Gearbox & Speed Limiter 1.1

Realistic gearbox characteristic and 90kmh/56mph speed limiter

    This mod changes the gearbox characteristics of the MAN TGL for a more realistic feel.

    I have also added different transmission programs for the 12 Speed TipMatic gearbox.

    The programs you can select are below and give a brief description as to what they do.

    The MAN TipMatic1) FLEET gearshift program restricts manual interferences with the automated gearshift strategy, thereby ensuring optimal gear changes in every driving situation. Quick downshifting using the kickdown function is also inhibited, encouraging a driving style that reduces consumption and preserves the drivetrain.

    The MAN TipMatic1) PROFI gearshift program allows for manual gearshifts to be carried out at any time, as for example quicker downshifting in kickdown. This allows experienced drivers to make the most of the vehicle’s efficiency potential.

    The MAN TipMatic1) DP (Drive Performance) gearshift program enables a more agile driving style on the road and can be activated if higher acceleration rates are required for a short period. This performance-oriented gearshift version allows for quicker gear changes and later shifting, thereby improving acceleration.

    The MAN TipMatic1) DM, RM gearshift program is intended for precise manoeuvring at slow speeds, partly by slipping the clutch. Gear selection is limited to the first two gears, with the mode designed for short term use only.

    The MAN TipMatic1) EMERGENCY gearshift program cuts down gearshift times to improve acceleration. It has been optimised for use by emergency services, such as the fire brigade or disaster relief teams, when responding to emergency situations.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    There is also a speed limiter that has been added to the ECU slot of the vehicle configuration. They are set at 90KMH (56MPH) which is the legal top speed of an EU HGV, and 100KMH (62MPH) just for fun.

    Shout out to AlexTheGamer for the help with the JBEAM and MrCrash for the TGS model to work from.

    Let me know if anyone gets any problems and let me know what you guys think. This is my first mod too.

    Good job. Even without custom LUA it feels pretty realistic. Only thing I have to note: Real Tipmatic does not creep when you put it in gear. It has some sort of low speed manouvering mode on idle, but since it is automated-manual with automatic clutch it does not creep when put it in gear.

      Something I’m working on, that’s just a limitation at the moment with the LUA and the jbeam. We are working on a custom LUA that can also block shift too, so stay tuned

    Great idea! i would love to have realistic gearbox behavior but currently the mods shifts through every gear which makes things super slow and kinda annoying. Keep up the great work please ;D

      Yeah im working on the LUA for this mod. For now, it's pretty slow until 6th gear and then it kind of sorts itself out :)
