Can’t shift in simple or real automatic

[tbecker1725]

I’ve got the combar silverado and the right lane gaming F450 and I can’t shift in real or simple auto in any of them. I have to use sequential. Anyone know a fix?

Maybe I misunderstand your question but in Simple and Real Automatic you only set the firection. Forward, Neutral and Reverse, not individual gears like in Sequential and H-shifter.

What is the difference between, Simple and Real automatic. I am using real.

Simple:
- Forward = Accelerate forward (works as gas pedal)
- Reverse = Accelerate backward (works as gas pedal but reversing)
Simple works much like a model railroad, at least the old-fashioned one I had as a kid some decades ago.

Real Automatic:
- Forward = Set gear in forward position. Use gas pedal or a key to accelerate. Much like Drive position in an IRL automatic car.
- Reverse = Set gear in reverse position. Use gas pedal or a key to accelerate backward.

Cant shift in real or simple automatic

I play on keyboard and mouse and all of a sudden, half my mods wont shift up or down at all. some dont have issues and some do. Anyone else having these issues? anyone know a fix?

[MagnusA]

Obviously mod issues. Contact the mod authors. They dhould be able to correct these bugs in their modds.

I would get rid of those sloppy written mods...

Sorry but i can not really see a difference . Forward is forward,
backword is backward. It does not seem to me, if you use a shifter or a button.
Might be me that is being a little simple here.

Simple use the same control for both direction selection and acceleration, I think it is the up arrow for Accelerate Forward and down arrow for Accelerate Backward. No brakes in Simple if I remember correctly.

Real Automatic uses separate controls for direction selection and accelerating/braking. "Shift up" to put the gearbox in forward and press another control for the actual acceleration (gas/brake pedal or whatever key you've assigned. Acceleration and brakes are also separate.

Personally I find Real Automatic most intuitive and natural of these two modes. Like Ozwald mentions above, Simple actually feels a bit awkward to use.

Thank you. I will stay with my real automatic. To be honest never
reall thought of usin anything else.

If you use any of the AMT transmissions in Loader Saints "Real Eaton Fuller Transmissions" mod, paired sensibly with whatever engine you choose, you will get a good result in simple automatic mode. Truck shifts through the gears up and down smoothly and in the correct operating range. And yeah, you do have brakes, which also behave as they should.

The issue with Simple Auto is that braking is also reverse. So if you come to a red light, let off the brake for some reason, and hit the brake again you may start reversing unintentionally. It also makes it difficult to reverse intentionally since it's so unintuitive compared to a real vehicle. With Real Auto the transmission behaves the same while driving, but the brake is always brake and the throttle is always the throttle. You just have to use buttons to shift between forward, neutral, and reverse. It's much more realistic and easier to control (at least after the initial task of breaking muscle memory from Simple Auto).

Your point is well taken. I do find that annoying from time to time.

Blimey Ozwald.
That seem's more trouble than it's worth.

[tbecker1725]

In one of the trucks, It will stay in A3 he whole time, and it won't shift up. and in big rigs, it will only stay in R1. wont change gears is my issue.

yes. the silverado, F450, and now my free supra is giving me issues now. would you like for me to attach a log txt file?

ContaCt the mod author. He/she should be able to give support to the mod and maybe repair the bug.

Especially if you paid for it. No support for oaid mods here on Stram.
