Hi, I bring this thread up because I often find that the paddles on my steering wheel (with a shifter connected) don't act as they should. This is how I believe it should behave when there are both steering wheel paddles and an H-shifter connected to the game (also my own experience with a MY13 Mazda 6 auto) 1. When in an Automatic or manual vehicle, the only way to change gears should be with the H shifter, especially on manual transmissions. (option to disable paddles with dedicated shifter attached in manual gearbox cars) 1.2. In automatic transmission vehicles (Autos with paddle shifters in the vehicle) with the H shifter in Drive only should the paddles act as a manual gear change temporarily until the auto gearbox takes over for the next and following gear changes. e.g. Manually upshifting to be more efficient. Or manually downshifting to engine break down a hill or kick downshift before the auto transmission does it itself. 2. Auto transmission engine breaking (specifically Mazda Skyactiv auto transmissions) With the paddle control mentioned above, the ability to engine break modern automatic vehicles would be a really nice and simulative touch. 2.2. Automatic engine start-stop. A common feature on most new cars where the engine will turn off when stopped. Just for added realism. 3. Auto transmission shifting bug. I have a faint memory of this being mentioned before, but accelerating at about 40-50% throttle causes the RPMs to jump up before it shifts gears. It seems to get stuck when the shift is happening in a weird neutral state where the RPMs rise before the shift is completed. 3.2. On some transmissions I've found the first shift is a smooth and natural feeling change, but the rest feel very clunky and unnatural including the bug mentioned in point 3. potentially an issue with torque converter locking.
