Animated gear shifting possible???

[BigJnWorldWide]

I was watching the Positvie Lock video this moring and I noticed that the drivers were show shifting gears in the raodsters. I've NEVER seen this GT4 before. I tried racing on MT instead of AT with no satisfaction. How can I get my driver to shift gears?? Or is it a situation where the US versions didn't do that?

Your driver will shift when you're watching the replay regardless of you using AT or MT...

Yup, you just don't see it all the time because the camera can't take it on screen.

A great example of how the drivers shifts gears is in one of the licenses. Here, you have to go round Citta Di Aria with an Alfa Romeo Gulia Sprint ( Red). When using the chasing cam, you can clearly see him shifting.

Another car where you can see the driver shifting is the BMW Z4 👍

Unless your car has been tuned, then the driver apparently changes to paddle shifting behind the steering wheel

Um, what?

I just drove a 206 CC, at least his hand went down towards the gear, you can't see the knob though. But I assume it's animated gear shifting.

TUNED CARS!

i.e. cars in which you've changed the transmission to full-racing or whatever it's called. When you drive around in those, with the top down, the driver doesn't change gears anymore.

Okay, I tested the tranny thing. It's true. I don't see any shifts with the Full Customize tranny. Thanx for the help guys.

That's because they wanted to keep the game suitable for ages 3+

Hohoho!

Yes, well, I figured it had to do with tuned cars

I assume you meant changes "with", not "to". Sounds like he changes in the middle of the race. If you didn't mean that if the car had been tuned, he would have changed from a stick to paddles. However, I can't fit the "unless" in. Makes the whole point wrong. Switch out "unless", which I recall means "except" or can mean "if not" with "If", the sentence would have made perfect sense.

Anyway, a very interesting discovery of you, that he doesn't change gears with a stick when the car has a tricked out (I'm starting to sounding like the bonus material for Fast and Furious) gearbox. I've always pictured the driver as myself, hauling the gears back and forth nearly breaking the gearstick, with his sexy, sequential 'box.
I would never have spotted that fact, I guess. Takes an eye for detail to do so. (+rep'd)

Tuned doesn't necessarily mean fully-customizable tranny. I'm in the habit of running cars with racing clutch and flywheel to get the faster shifts, but leaving the tranny alone. I'd still consider that tuned, and the replay drivers reaches for the knob.


Good catch on the replay not showing it with full tranny, though. I never noticed.

Yes, that's another thing.
Before I started to read on several English forums, I thought everything was "tuning". It wasn't until a year ago I actually understood that, well, adding parts is called "modding", not "tuning," while altering the modifications you have, is called tuning.

You see my location? English is not first language... or hey, it is in fact. I did learn English before Spanish, but I speak much more Spanish than English nowadays

I noticed it out of pure curiosity, by the by. It always fascinated me that the driver actually changed gears, and the fact that he moves the stick forwards and backwards looks nice (although he doesn't follow the path of the gears, like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.), so when I changed the flywheel and the transmission, I was curious to see how fast could he move his arms... and he doesn't.

I hate paddle shifters. I've since removed all fully custom trannys from all of my cars just to spite them. My wife has the Honda Fit that was just released to the U.S. And sumumabi**h........she got the one with paddle shifters!!!!

Well there is a difference in that type of "paddle" shift vs an auto-clutch manual......Take that one in the fit, the computer basically allows you to shift the gear if it feels like there is no problem in doing so. An autoclutch manual ala DSG is basically a manual with an automated clutch pedal. You shift and the car does the legwork.

I think paddles take the fun out of driving. Get this. I just asked how she likes her car. She says it's fine but doesn't know what the paddles on the wheel are for!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahhahaa lol I'm never letting her shop by herself again.
