Odd behavior when switching between forward and reverse on a double clutching transmission

[Dudejo]

Basically, I can switch between forward and reverse as if it was a tractor's Power Shuttle.

I am not required to lift the clutch, stop the truck or even go into Neutal.

I used a "Band-Aid" fix to rectify the issue but it's odd how the reverse gear seems to otherwise ignore the general requirements of shifting.

        <gears axleSpeed="3.73" tireWidth="315" tireRatio="80" rimDiameter="22.5" shiftTimeMs="500" reverseReset="false" doubleClutch="true">
            <gear name="L" maxRange="1" forwardOnly="true" inverseRatio="2.78"/>
            <gear name="R" reverseOnly="true" inverseRatio="2.99"/>
            <gear name="1" forwardOnly="true" inverseRatio="1.95"/>
            <gear name="2" forwardOnly="true" inverseRatio="1.38"/>
            <gear name="3" forwardOnly="true" inverseRatio="1.00"/>
            <gear name="4" forwardOnly="true" inverseRatio="0.73"/>
        </gears>

        <ranges doubleClutch="true" defaultRange="1">
            <range name="L" inverseRatio="3.78"/>
            <range name="H" inverseRatio="1.00"/>
        </ranges>

        <reverse onlyStopped="true"/><!-- Band-Aid fix to enforce stopping the truck before shifting into reverse -->

Die you try

<gearboxMogli ... autoStartStop="false">
...
  <reverse manualClutch="true"/>
...
</gearboxMogli>

?

ManualClutch will force a declutching requirement, yes. It will still let me engage reverse while moving, however. Are the default flags optimized for a modern tractor?

autoStartStop has no effect on any requirements. However, I prefer it on "true" for double clutching purposes as it allows me to float the gears. When set to "false", it forces me to clutch when accelerating forwards.

Ok, if you just want to make sure that you can change direction if you are fully stoppend then onlyStopped="true" is the right flag.

Technically, the gearbox does not engage the reverse gear while moving forwards. It will brake automatically.

[Dudejo]

yeah, combining onlyStopped and manualClutch will replicate a typical behavior or cars and trucks.

speaking of onlyStopped, this lock-out is common on mechanical range selectors for tractors, 4WD pick-ups and reverse gears for anything without a synchronized or power shuttle.
