Selecting laden/unladen starting gears in Automatic

#1 Post by Austin.S » 20 Sep 2021 05:30

The title is pretty self-explanatory.

I find it weird that game selects starting gear based on final drive ratio.

For example, when pairing low torque engine with high reduction final drive, the transmission still starts at 3rd gear when hauling hauling 60+ ton cargo.

Another example, when unladen, the truck starts at 6th gear. The highest unladen starting gear I've seen is 4th gear on real Scania, not sure about other trucks.

I wish there is a way to select in which gear truck starts when both laden and unladen.
