How do I make my 7 speed fanatec shifter work with this game?
So o finally got this game working on vr. It is amazing. I want to use my very nice and expensive shifter work, but as of now it is pretty much worthless, lol. How do I get this to work while driving a tuck with so many gears?? I'm not even sure how they work in real life. Lol

In the Controls options, you see the Shifter 1, Shifter 2, Shifter 3 positions, right? Well, there's also Shifter Toggle 1 and Shifter Toggle 2. Using those, those Shifter 1, Shifter 2, Shifter 3, etc essentially get 2 additional gears.

Example:
Position 3, 1Low, Toggle 1: 1High, Toggle 1 + Position 4: 2Low. And it's like that. I think that's the setup for Eaton Fuller mode. Not sure about range, splitter, or range-splitter.

So what you're essentially doing is dividing the gears over the same keys. Edit: You wouldn't actually run through every single one of those 18 gears. You'd go from 3H straight to 4H, you know?

It is much easier if you have one of these.

I have 2 SKRS shifter knobs, one from CSIO and a much better one from TechAfflicton but sadly those companies are now defunct and not to be trusted. The one above works with the Fanatec shifter so it should be fine. They are a game changer and since you have Fanatec therefore spending money should not be a problem for you. :)
