realistic automatic transmissions please
First of all, thanks for developing a new TDU!

As a long time player of TDU1 and 2 i really wish for a more realistic implementation of automatic transmissions. The only game that ever nailed it is BeamNG.
Older cars (e.g. muscle cars) should not feel like they have a dual clutch transmission.
Whats really killing the immersion while cruising are the unrealistic shiftpoints in most games (every gear is reved out, no matter how gently you accelerate)
A nice addition to that would be, that in "realistic mode" you could only drive the real transmission type of the vehicle. (similar to some Simracing games like Asetto Corsa)

Yeah it would actually be fun to get a kickdown when you floor it. Torque converters are bad but also fun in a game.

I hope for realism in the shifting as well. Not sure how well that could pull off. Not just automatics, but manual too. Proper rev sweeps and time to actually shift gears.

Vs another game where if you are using a clutch and manual, it makes every car a sequential shift.

Shifting was one of the most frustrating things for me in the Crew. No matter what you do, theres always that strange rev matching sound between the gears and it feels horrible. (manual and automatic)

I just dont get how nearly every Racing game fails that hard in terms of transmissions. How hard can it be to code a nice feeling Automatic instead of just using the same "If RPM is at maximum -> shift up" again..
Well, maybe im exaggerating a little bit, but i would just love to see it done right in TDU:SC.

The only game I know that has a realistic automatic implementation is BeamNG. Sadly I do not expect this game to have it either, but I hope they surprise me.
