I was reading some old posts and found this statement, what do you guys think? True or false? It can't be true unless GPL is doing it because your actual real shifter won't do it. That was part of a thread that also contained this statement............. Actually, it doesn't matter what type of shifter you use because whether it's buttons or a sequential ( tm ) it's just microswitches telling it when to shift. So unless GPL is telling the engine to blip after the shift then it's simply a blip due to not matchng revs perfectly. hmmmm, food for thought. JM

ehhhm..i have learned to blip to match the revs, so why would this blip be due to not matching them? as an aside the alfa selespeed, and the ferrariF1 box do some very nice blipping for you too, it made it almost like driving a computergame...hmmmmm....maybe that is the way to go, not make the sims realistic, but the cars more unrealistic!!!! sudesh

True on both counts, GPL passes through neutral when changing gears and blips the throttle. -- Eric

Hi, sorry i was talking about real cars..GPL does the blipping for me i'm afraid(all aid turned off) Sudesh > > ehhhm..i have learned to blip to match the revs, so why would this blip > > be due to not matching them? > That's my point, you are doing it, not GPL. > JM

Ok, I'll try, view a replay from the in-car view. Advance it a frame at a time. Watch the shifter. On every shift you can see it pause in neutral for 5-12 frames or so. And on downshifts you can see the rev counter rise during the pause in neutral. In article <[email hidden]>, jmoore <[email hidden]> wrote:
