    Not sure if this is the correct place to put this, but I'm trying to create a 4-speed dogbox for the GM. I found this on the SBR4 6-speed manual (not the race version):
    Code:
    "straightCutGearIndexes":{}
    But I'm not sure what to do with it. Help would be appreciated :)

    Something like this, but something is lot of something. Go to lua folder of game files, find transmission part and search from there anything that might resemble straight cut gear parameters.

    "straightCutGearIndexes":{
    somevariable:"somevalue"
    }

    "straightCutGearIndexes":{
    somevariable:["somevalue, array"]
    }

    It could also be leftover that currently does nothing interesting.

    It appears that it should take a 1 or 0, as true or false? Not entirely sure if I'm reading that right, although this screenshot does look promising for all of us who wanted gear whine.

    That should be
    "straightCutGearIndexes":{
    straightCutGearCoef: 0.5 // value in range from 0.0 to 1.0
    }
    However I think it is missing an array part, which would go inside these [] so I'm guessing it is straightCutGearCoef:[0.5, 0, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.7] //for 4 gears R, N, 1, 2, 3, 4

    But don't sue me if it is not like so, this is just guessing.

    Also look how turbo sounds have different kind of turbo samples in vanilla vehicles, it might be that format is same as with those, actually now that I think, I imagine that being strongest possibility :p

    Definitely is related to gear whine aspect, but might not be quite ready yet.

    I've got a straight-cut gear whine in one of my cars that worked in the last update

    Well, it's no secret that we are working on gear whine related things, but I wouldn't start trying to copy incomplete things just yet, might change again in the future etc.

    that's unfortunate, any plans for traditional h-pattern manual transmissions that use a dog-style engagement?
