Renault premium can't display custom gear name [NOT A BUG]

[CXN2615]

After rename gear name in gearbox mod by "transmission_names: .names"
It shows well on the nav box, but on the dashboard, it only show the number
If no "transmission_names: .names" it should be "14" rather than "7", so the rename somehow "works". but no luck with letters(but N and R can display)

renault use digital numbers IRL. so no letters (other that N,R and D).
if you want some, you have to mod dashboard and/or font as well.

but showing 7 instead of 14 is really strange. could you show me game log and the transmission mod, please?

ah, i didnt look well enough to the picture.
you, have "7H" in advisor. so you have renamed the gear succesfully. and dashboard shows all what he can based on given string (no letters). its expected behavior.

Thanks, I just think it use the MAN's logic because they both use ZF's 16 speed box
There is a lot Gearbox tech information about the Ratio, tprque,ect... but not much about how it's displayed on the dashborad

well, i looked into renault LCD font and for some strange reason there are letter "h" (small H) and "l" (small L) but not capitals.
so you can "fix" that by changing "7H" string to "7h".

or you can improve the font. i made a tweak that duplicates small letters to capitals and vice versa. and works nicely here. file "font/lcd_number.font"

you can add this change to your transmission names mod - its possible that this mod will require force mods as fonts are handled differently than rest of files. you have to try.
or wait for some future update where it will be included ..
