Automatic gear box behavior.
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Automatic gear boxes are not working properly. Especially on raisings and when using "fast forward" keyboard control. (simulating the use of "Kickdown").

The gear box should let the engine use revelations up to the maximum revelations per second before shifting into a higher gear. The gear box should shift down into a lower gear if necessary when using "fast forward" (simulating the use of "Kickdown").

The gear box should use up maximum revelations before shifting up and shift down if necessary when trying to climb a hill.

Right now vehicles become slower steadily when climbing a hill and the gear box never shift down. This wrong behavior also leads to the wierd fact vehicles become the more quiet the larger the hill is they want to climb (because revelations/min are decreasing with lower speeds).

Steps To Reproduce

Take any kind of vehicle.

Use the "fast forward" keyboard control/key. The gear box will not shift down. The car is not accelerating at a maximum rate, because it is not using maximum revelations.

Try to drive onto a hill. The gear box will not shift down and the engine will become more and more quiet.

Additional Information

2 videos of what I'm talking about. This is how it should be in Arma 3, too.
(no great examples but the best I could find searching in youtube real quick)

Here is a better example for "Climbing a hill":

http://youtu.be/cpCXtgoLU-s?t=10s

Notice how the truck is shifting down a gear at 0:17 and 0:24 and the rev/min are increasing in the process, of course. That's what the gear box in Arma 3 should do, too.
Another good example at 3:20.
