    This is a simple proof of concept for a 5 speed H pattern manual transmission with Reverse gear mainly for VR and touch screen players. It also has an automatic switch for pc players just in case.

    Thank amdrew for the cockpit parts.

    @WormWithLegs i am using pseudo activation groups basically. So the control base is acting more like a switch and not like a input joystick

    Also may I ask how you got the control base to stay in its position and not spring back to center? @BlunderBirb

    @Thunderhawk recent sp transmissions I've seen adjust throttle of the engine based on wheel rpm. For example in 1st gear, at 300 rpm of the wheel, the the transmission formula would input .1 into the input of the engine. In 4th gear at 300 wheel rpm, the formula would spit out a value such as .8
    That's the way I understand it. Basically you are creating an artificial "torque curve" that increases and decreases throttle as your speed changes, and different gears give you the most throttle for the speed you are at.
    (Yes, this does create a torque effect in lower gears. At low rpm, in which power is most demanded, the lower gears' formula applies the most throttle to the engine.)

    @Thunderhawk wheel torque cant really be managed in sp because it isnt a mechanic that exists here

    Cool! Does this have better torque in lower gears or just higher speed in higher gears? It would be cool if the lower gears actually helped climb hills because I havent seen that yet on this site
