FS22_ExtraGears

FS22 allows you to bind gears to keybinds. And if you set the game to manual or manual with clutch allows for a more realistic/manual driving experience

The game only allows you to bind

Flappy paddle gear up/down
Gears 1-8
Gear Groups 1-4

So for vehicles with more than 8 gears (in either direction) you have to use flappy paddle.

This mod adds additional Gear Keybindings, up to 18, and Gear Groups 5-6.

If using this mod it is IMPORANT to use the Extra Gears 1-8 Bindings, not the base games 1-8

Alterantively lets you bind controls for "shift mode", this makes the gearbox similar to Euro Truck Simulator 2.

You can press a button to set various shift increments

For 6 speed shifters

Shift Mode 6 Up, the gear shift you bound (1-6) adds 6 gears so 1-6 is now 7-12
Shift Mode 12 Up, the gear shift you bound (1-6) adds 12 gears so 1-6 is now 13-18
Shift Mode 18 Up, the gear shift you bound (1-6) adds 12 gears so 1-6 is now 19-24

For 8 speed shifters

Shift Mode 8 Up, the gear shift you bound (1-8) adds 8 gears so 1-8 is now 9-16
Shift Mode 16 Up, the gear shift you bound (1-8) adds 16 gears so 1-8 is now 17-22

For others, you can flappy paddle the incrementer

Shift add 6 - Just add 6 to the gears
Shift remove 6 - Just remove 6 to the gears
Shift add 8 - Just add 8 to the gears
Shift remove 8 - Just remove 8 to the gears

A on screen Display will below the Gears tell you the current gear offset you have set.

This mod additionally adds Gear Groups 5/6 for binding as needed!
