Well, I've now spent several hours driving various models, and there is definite improvements to gearbox behaviour in most except the Volvos - they also seem a LOT more sensitive to holding gear from throttle (in all gears in fact) than the other makes.Komat wrote:The patch changes the way the gearbox behaves when driving at the speed limiter limit, adds the exclusive interior and decals to the new Volvo and fixes various small glitches (animations, positions) in the trucks.
I'm finding that both the 2013 and the Classic still almost refuse point blank to upshift to 12th when using adaptive auto at 90km/h, even when under zero/minimal load, and/or using CC. It does seem to behave properly at around ~93. It's pulling about 1500rpm at 90 in 11th so am wondering if the gearing/downshift rev point needs to be adjusted a little to make it work?
All other gears seem fine, however as said earlier definitely somewhat more sensitive to gear-holding on throttle than Scania, MAN, DAF, Iveco, Merced....<ahem>"Majestic" I haven't tainted my garage with Renault yet, so can't make judgement on it... Thinking about it, perhaps actually it's the other makes that need adjusting to make MORE sensitive in this regard? I find they rarely stay beyond 1600rpm even with the right foot firmly planted to the floor.
The "normal" real automatic in both the Volvos seems to be absolutely fine, these seem to happily upshift to 12th at around 85-86 under no load.
(No mods. G27 + pedals. Also tested with keyboard+mouse only controls. Windows build, if it makes a difference.)
