This is most notable if desired speed is set in the cruise control or if you're flooring it and have the speed limiter turned on. The bug occurs when driving in automatic mode with a constant speed and short distance between two gears. When the truck has reached the desired speed, it will depress the throttle causing the RPM to drop. If it drops below the green line, it will cause the transmission to shift down. This slows down the truck a little, flooring the throttle. It will gain speed at the lower gear until it reaches the top of the green line. Then it will shift up into the higher gear and keep accelerating until it reaches the desired speed. When this happens, the RPM drops, downshifts, and so it goes on again and again.
Here are some exceptions:
- If coming to an uphill, it will stay in the current gear.
- If going down a steep hill it may not downshift.
I've pointed out some parts in the video that may be relevant.
- In the beginning of the video I have just entered the motorway and the truck is building up speed and shifting up as expected.
- At 0:40 it will shift into 14th gear, and from there the nightmare starts.
- At 1:14 I go up a hill, and it will stay in 14th gear as long as it can't reach 90km/h
- At 1:21 I enter a downhill causing it to roll faster than 90km/h
- At 1:36 it goes down to 90km/h and immediately shifts down. You'll also notice that I engage the cruise control.
- 4:35 another uphill followed by another downhill and then another uphill
- 6:55 overrev?

I hope this will be taken a look at, and possibly fixed. Not just for the purpose of a mod, but a fix for that may be usable in the future, and maybe even improve the the shifting in the vanilla game.
