What gearbox does the formula trainer have? In menu shows 4 speed H pattern. In game i can shift without the clutch. Is it a sequential?
If its based on a Formula Ford, its a 4 speed H pattern racing dog box. No clutch required for upshifts - just a lift off the throttle, but some rev matching and clutch required for downshifts.
You can test for that. If you can take it out of gear by setting your h-pattern shifter to neutral, it's a manual. If it stays in gear it's sequential. The UI info may still be wrong here and there, I wouldn't put too much weight in it until final release.
Yeah. I think it was SEQ and couldn't put it in neutral in beta or so. Gonna play it with shifter from now on.
@Gevatter @David Wright @Zolazem I am 100% certain it's SEQ because if I go from 1 to 4 it first goes to 2 and 4 instead of 1 4, etc. Unless the transmission can't go from 1 to 4 Wiki
@Ivysaur I know that it was SEQ in AMS1 and in the AMS2 Beta, but I haven't used it in a while, and maybe something changed, but if you can't go to neutral like I described. it's SEQ.
The one we have in the game looks like an older model than 2012 though. Pretty sure it’s supposed to have a 4-speed h-shifter with straight cut gears.
Strange. Both can go into Neutral. But if you shift from 1 to 4 it goes 1 2 3 4 and vice versa. So it behaves like a SEQ but you can put it in N with H-shifter. So there's something wrong. Perhaps an ''fix'' for a next update. @Gevatter @Obizzz Seq or shifter. We will see.
Are we going to have the same conversation about this repeated for every sequential shifting car in the game? Am I going crazy or some of the same people involved in multiple of these? The answer is the same in all cases...
Even though I'm running the risk of boring @Marc Collins by talking about things that aren't interesting to him, I checked, it's definitely sequential. I guess @Ivysaur you set it to first gear when you tested it? It comes out of first to neutral of course. It doesn't come out of third gear when I set my shifter to manual. That's for the Formula Trainer and Formula Trainer Advanced.
Strange. I can put it in neutral, but the Lancer RS I can't put into neutral. Perhaps it's bugged or so. I've auto-clutch off.
That's really strange, because I can't, also with Auto Clutch off. Maybe something in the controller configuration?
We should be told these things once and for all instead of spending ages trying to work it all out. Just saying ( cough...reiza?..)
It's not boring me, it's annoying when the identical conversations among some of the same people occur about the identical topic and the only difference is [name of vehicle]--as if the other conversations did not exist (my problem to be annoyed, no one else's). As concluded, cars with sequential shifters in real life work perfectly with sequential shifters in AMS/AMS 2. However, they also "work" (barely) with an H-shifter, likely because some people do not have sequential shifters so what are they supposed to do--not use the car or be forced into simcade mode of auto shifting or auto-clutch? No, there is an opening for them so they can use manual shifting in the game. Same thing for clutch. Not everyone has one, so should we tell those people to go home, or, have an auto-clutch. I realize now that it was in some other thread(s) that someone asked about the transmissions in the Trainers...and it had already been answered that they were sequentials. That makes this thread slightly less redundant We could get rid of at least 100 threads in this forum if Reiza would just take a few minutes to update the car selection screens with universally accurate info! It's not like these are all well-known vehicles to a mass audience...not sure what the strategy is to leave it a dog's breakfast. I can't imagine it is so difficult to update a small amount of text. Unless it's a code for "this car is not finished"...but I doubt it.
