    Firstly, I apologize if this has been mentioned before but I couldn't find anything recent on the subject.

    I was curious if there will ever be animation for the manual shifters as there is on the automatic ones? Even if its simple. If any ever played rigs of rods, they remember that manual shifters did move on some vehicles, but only in a vertical motion. There wasn't any side to side movement, but it still made things more immersive and realistic. Are there plans for anything like this? Even if it is just a forward back motion.

    Maybe I am too picky, but it would be neat to have!

    -best regards

    I believe it could be possible with Lua, getting the gear the car is in and using that to determine where the shifter goes, and how to move it there. That's just theory, and I am unable to test it.

    It is definetely possible but like many other ideas, there are currently other things that would take higher priority. This should eventually end up in game though.

    It did? That's awesome. I don't think I ever had that car installed. At least that shows that it is possible. I'm sure the DEVs have thought about it, they probably just have bigger issues to solve at the moment.
