Link a Transmission Settings node to a Vehicle node and you can control how the gears of a car behave.
| Parameter | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Gear ratio magnitude | Multiplier for the rotation rate between the engine and the gearbox |
| Reverse gear ratio magnitude | Multiplier for the rotation rate between the engine and the gearbox when reversing |
| Gear switch time | How long it takes to switch gears, in seconds |
| Clutch release time | How long it takes to release the clutch (and reach full friction), in seconds |
| Gear switch latency | How long to wait after releasing the clutch before another switch is attempted, in seconds |
| Shift up RPM | If the RPM of the engine is bigger than this, the gear will be shifted up |
| Shift down RPM | If the RPM of the engine is smaller than this, the gear will be shifted down |
| Clutch strength | Strength of the clutch when fully engaged |
