Manual Transmission 5.0.0

5.0.0

I really should've incremented major/minor versions instead of patches for
those older releases that had a ton of new stuff. Oh well. Might as well start
now!

New features

Adaptive all-wheel drive

This new feature, under Driving Assists, simulates all kinds of all-wheel-drive
systems. The torque split (front drive bias) is updated in real-time depending
on grip, understeer or oversteer. This very much affects the driving
characteristics, so it's wise to just use through the vehicle-specific configs.

For steering wheels and keyboards, the drive bias can be adjusted in real-time
with hotkeys, to simulate manual AWD systems like in the old Subaru Impreza STi.

Demo: Skyline GT-R R32 - ATTESA E-TS test,
using an early implementation.

The feature requires the
Handling Replacement
library.

Launch control

Launch control, also known as two-step holds the RPM at a set value. When used
with Turbo Fix x.y.z, it helps
spool up the turbo while maintaining a good RPM to launch. With the right
Turbo Fix settings, many explosions can be had.

Demo: Launch control and anti-lag test

To use launch control:

1. Stop the car and engage first gear
2. Hold the brakes
3. Apply throttle
4. Release the brakes to launch!

While launch control limits the revs, it also manages the clutch for you, so
you can safely remove your foot or finger from the clutch pedal.

Launch control can be turned off and on with a hotkey/button for any input.

Vehicle Configuration improvements

Per-vehicle configurations has been completely reworked internally. Changes
in the menu now properly affect and save for the current active configuration.

New configurations can be created in-game too. Improvements in selectively
saving individual options now enable you to "touch" a setting, have it saved
to the file, and share it easily.

Almost all settings carry over, save for a few small things that have been
moved, removed and/or renamed. Most significantly is the plate-matching:
Spaces are significant now. Check Information.txt for more info.

Manual Transmission v4.6.6

v4.6.6

A big small change! Most significant changes in order of gameplay impact:

• The automatic transmission has been entirely revised and should be MUCH more flexible now. A menu page is added where you can tweak all aspects of the new automatic transmission.
• The sequential and automatic shifting have been updated to use the handling values. This makes shifting a little bit slower, but correctly simulates the clutch time using the handling data.
• An experimental ABS has been added, which works for all vehicles including those without ABS. It should make steering under braking much better, though on gravel might increase braking distance.
• An updater checker has been added, to inform you of new updates. This can be completely turned off. Full disclosure: It only checks the GitHub releases page for a new release. No other data is sent or downloaded.
• A C-style API has been added and decorators are now deprecated. Check this gist for a C# implementation and this gist for a C++ implementation, of using these exported functions from the Gears.asi library.

Full change log:

• Revise automatic transmission shifting behavior
• Revise clutch creep and stalling behavior
• Revise sequential/auto shift clutch behavior
• Add experimental scripted ABS
• Add update checker, allows to be turned off or to ignore an update
• Add C-style exported functions, replaces decorators and adds AI blacklisting
• Fix an issue for FiveM other players where other vehicles are not shifting
• Fix support for 10th gear
• Fix an issue where steering deadzone is not saved properly
• Fix an issue where force feedback continues playing when ejected from a car
• Fix an issue where hazard lights cancelled when turning, like normal signal lights
• Fix an issue where turning lights would override hazard lights
• Fix an issue where script re-locks DECOR_REGISTER if something else unlocked it
• General code improvements
