Actually the range and splitter perform similar but different functions. The range function is used alone in the 10 sp trans to go from 5th to 6th thru 10. In 13 & 18 sps the splitter functions divides each transmission gear into a low and a high gear. Called a splitter because it splits the gears into 2 parts. Thats a simple way of putting it

13 and 18 speeds are not numbered the way you have them. These are set shift patterns in the game. Can always view a video on youtube to see the actual shift patterns.

18 for example would be when using a shift knob:

1L, 1H, 2L, 2H...get to 4th and then you flip up the range selector and have 5L, 5H, 6L, 6H up to 8L, 8H.

You will see 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18 etc. only when driving an automatic in game.

That is definitely not an Eaton Fuller 13 or 18 speed shift pattern which is what I thought you were referring to.

I use a shifter and the 18 speed transmissions for this game. There are 4 "sets" of gears. While using manual shifters, the gears are not 1,2,3,4,5 etc. It goes this way istead, LL, L, 1L, 1H, 2L, 2H, 3L, 3H, etc. Using the Range button, you switch between the High and Low range gears, while the Splitter button will switch which gear you are in while using the shifter. TO help explain it better, going from slot 3 of the shifter right to slot 4 brings the truck from 2H to 3H, essentially skipping a gear, 3L. This way, one position on the shifter can be 4 different gears, such as 2L, 2H, 6L and 6H are all in the same spot on the shifter. Range will switch between 2H and 2L, and 6H and 6L, but to switch that position on the shifter from gear 2 to gear 6 wil require the splitter button.

This is much harder to explain by text than I was hoping, but I hope this helps

I don't know what shift pattern that guy is using but normally you would shift according to this

then, how the guy in that gameplay i mentioned, is using normal numbers, without L and H?

probably because the mack is an automatic in game so the gears are gonna show up like an automatic even though his driving manually

watch this video and don't mind the fancy shifter it just has two buttons on it splitter and range which i just have bound to my wheel.

A splitter is simply a set of auxilliary gears which gives you a "half step" between gears. Think of it as a separate transmission, with 2 conditions, one of which gives a gear reduction, the other of which gives 1:1 straight through. An Eaton Fuller 18 speed is actually an 8 speed, the splitter allows half steps generally referred to as L and H, so you have 1L, 1H, 2L, 2H etc for a total of 16 gears. There are two additional super low"granny" gears, LowL and LowH, which are not normally used in the sequence of shifts, for a total of 18 forward gears.

as you can see, the shifter layout is settings to EAton fuller 18 speed, which are simulating a real EATON fuller speed in real life, right? what that guy in the video that i mentioned is using i think is the SPLITTER option. or no?

No his using both range and splitter.

If you just want to use the splitter you should optimally only use a gearbox with 12 gears or less otherwise if i recall correctly you end up having to press the splitter 3 times to find what gear you want which gets confusing.

Here are some patterns for American and European manual transmissions

I have a G29, and use manual.

If in game settings you choose your layout as Eaton you will get the realistic 1LH, 2LH... if you set it to "Range + Splitter" you will get 1, 2, 3, 4...
Same for ETS2, choose any brand name gear box to get the HL pattern. Nothing to do with the truck brand.

As I play both games, and have every single truck available in each game, daily drive a different one, and do a lot of "quick jobs".

And getting older to remember every single layout, decided to use "Range and Splitter", so every time each gear is in the same position.

For the Low range, usually 1 to 5 (for 12 speeds), 1 to 7 (for 16 speeds) and 1 to 9 (for 18 speeds) I almost never Split the gear, ie. normal loaded will go 3, 5, 7.
And in the High range will split most of them, so 9, 10, 11, 12...

Also in my opinion is easier to use the advanced splitter Clutch and Accelerator, that means that you can split by just lifting the accelerator pedal or when you press the clutch.

i just want to use only the splitter option, not more.

?
that makes no sense...the splitter just gives you half steps between gears. The range function gives you access to the full range of gears from lowest to highest, but with no half steps in between. You can drive with range and no splitter, but not with splitter and no range.

so if i select my shifter layout in SPLITTER, i can't drive?

no you can shift pretty well with only a splitter as long as you don't use more than 12 gears
the pattern would look like this on a G290 shifter

1/2 5/6 9/10
|||==|||==|||==|||
3/4 7/8 11/12 R

with the G290 you have to push the gear stick down to get reverse.
