You may want to try Smarty's, Scott A2HD truck, it has a few 15 speeds.

He also has nice "wheel pack" and some other mod's.

Is there some way to setup the 15 speed with Hshifter G27 wheel?

If you're looking for an accurate 15 speed shift pattern then no, not with the 15 speed transmissions as defined in most mods that supply 15 speed transmissions. These are usually configured with the ratios progressing in ratio sequence (ie, the gears are just sequentially shifted up and down the pattern like a 13 or 18 speed).

You'd need a transmission configured to follow the correct numerical gear sequence from deep-reduction up through to the top of the box.

THEN, you'd need to configure a 'gearbox_range_splitter.sii' file to provide the correct gear pattern and splitter button (which then becomes a deep-reduction button) function.

Examples follow: To use the following transmission definition in practice, you'd need to change the 'xxxx' string in the transmission accessory label to match the truck you're going to use it with and save the file in the '/def/vehicle/truck/<truckname>/transmission' folder. Suggested filename: rto_915_320.sii

If you use an existing 'gearbox_range_splitter.sii' configuration file be sure to back it up someplace before overwriting with this one.

These are examples only - untested in-game.

BTW, if you're interested I could put a mod together for the transmission for whatever truck you'd like.

You'd still have to install the gear pattern configuration (the second one in the above post) manually though as that's a profile configuration and not touchable via mod.

[Coal_Bucket_Outlaw]

is that the wrap around shift pattern?

[Fury6]

The one I posted above is the straight through pattern - Reverse is left and up, 1st is left and down, then the gears run sequentially up to 5th in the right and down hole.

It would also be trivial to do the other 15 speed pattern I'm familiar with where the 4th and 5th gears are transposed (4th is right and down, 5th is right and up).

[Coal_Bucket_Outlaw]

If you don't care, could you post that mod and include the gear pattern? It took me ages to make my 15 speed (mine has the same gear ratios), but my reverse gears are are switched and your sii file looks alot better than mine :P. I like the 15 speeds, good transmissions in real life, works good in game also.

[Fury6]

The file you need for the gear pattern is posted above... or did you mean you wanted the top-reversed style pattern (4th & 5th transposed)? That's pretty easily achieved by reversing the gear impulse index for all values 6 & 7.

eg:

    direct_gearbox_gear: <gearname> {
        gear_impulse_index: 7
        selector_1: <selector value>
        selector_2: <selector value>
        gear: <gearnumber>
    }

    direct_gearbox_gear: <gearname> {
        gear_impulse_index: 6
        selector_1: <selector value>
        selector_2: <selector value>
        gear: <gearnumber>
    }

all the way through the file.
--

I can put the mod together but as noted in my previous post there's no way to include the gear-set configuration (the 'gearbox_range_splitter.sii') file as part of the mod since it's a profile configuration, not a moddable truck accessory. It really *SHOULD* be a part of the transmission definition, but for some unfathomable (well to me, anyway) reason SCS didn't see it that way.
--

[edit]
I've uploaded both the gear-set pattern configurations to my google drive, access via this shared link[drive.google.com].

Copy one or both of the contained files to your ATS profile directory, located at:

<driveID>:\users\<userID>\documents\American Truck Simulator\profiles\<profileID>\

then rename one (or both) to one (or two) of:

gearbox_range.sii
gearbox_splitter.sii
gearbox_range_splitter.sii
--

In-game, open the 'Options-->Controls' menu and near the bottom under 'H-Shifter setup' select the appropriate "Eaton Fuller 15 Speed" gear-set from the 'Shifter layout' drop-down list.

[edit]

Initial work-up of the mod is up: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=886801039

[Coal_Bucket_Outlaw]

Thanks man :P great transmission but I did have problem with the shift pattern, splitter button was backwards, easy fix though

[Fury6]

It will depend on your controller hardware, it was the right way around for mine :P

[edit]
Oh and BTW, I should be thanking *you* guys. I'd been thinking off and on about a 15 speed over a long while now. Your posts gave me enough inspiration to consider it on the level of a practical mod and set me to action. Now, thanks to you, I have a working 15 speed gearbox I can use in my own trucks too :D.
