Hi, This mod adds a high-low switch to the 12M gearbox of the MAN TGS by @MRcrash. Since I created this mod → https://www.beamng.com/threads/t-series-h-pattern-shift-logic-12m-1-0.69876/ recently it seemed a good idea to me to convert it to MRcrash 's wonderful mod. On top of that it was already requested too . It works the same as my original mod and it also cancels the reverse beep. If you don't like this then simply unpack my mod and remove the file semi.jbeam, repack and all done. Don't forget to assign the high-low switch in the vehicle specific controls tab, with any button or with the 7th gear H-shifter position. Happy Rolling ! -NOCARGO
Sorry everyone, I made a small 'mistake' in the first upload and cancelled the MAN's specific bindings ! Fixed it soon as noticed, the file is updated !
Not all configurations support, unfortunately. 12-sp OK, but 16-sp don't even change the range. Moreover there are 10-sp transmission yet. Have to find.
They should, but not other transmissions besides the 12M. I'll check.. --- Post updated --- edit : That's what the title says : MAN TGS H-pattern Shift Logic 12M The ZF-Ecosplit does something very different in real life. I drove it a lot professionally. As the name suggests, it 'splits' 8 gears into 2, that means 1low-1high-2L-2H-3L-3H- and so on.. Therefore you need a button (in real life ON the shift knob) to split gears. So what happens is (also in the real world) you use 4 H-shift positions, one button to switch those to 5-6-7-8 and another button to split up those 8 gears. Now, I AM going to look into that in the future, this was planned longer ago. But I'm still figuring out how to handle this in the best way to get realistic result. In theory you should have the split button in reach of your thumb, so ON the shift knob. Put it somewhere else and the handling becomes uncomfortable. A wireless usb switch controller attachable to the shift knob would be magical.. Don't know, I'll see what I can come up with. I would also like to point out that @MRcrash 's 5 over-5 and 6-over-6 gearboxes do the same as my 12M shift logic. Only, he uses the high low range type or that so the gears are not displayed correctly. Aside from that it works just the same. Bind your favorite button to the gear range status ( default = alt + a ) and they work just the same. I myself am not going to publish shift logic doing half work for the Ecosplit so it might still take a while before you might see it pop pup.
I look, 12-sp changing in real has 2-switch logic too. It would great to implement that behavior to the game.
Same problem to solve as with my explanation on the 16 Ecosplit. > 2 buttons IF the Ecosplit ever gets done, your example becomes a piece of cake
Just must say that logic is different from real life, when low-high range used to switch range the same gear. Have build the totally new logic of changing gears to match real things. Yours better, because exact numbers of gears display.
