9th & 10th Gear Select Input

[blckphnx]

Is there any possibility of adding an input for gear 9 and gear 10? I'm working on some authentic Mercedes transmissions but to create the appropriate reverse position, I would need an input for a ninth and tenth gear as Mercedes manual transmissions have 9-10 positions for their shift levers.

I didn't think that anybody had a shifter with 10 positions or would want to map 10 buttons from a keyboard towards the gears.. But yeah I can add another 2 gear direct selection inputs that shouldn't be a problem

So I am using a shifter with 8 positions, but I am also using a truck shift knob with an Arudino board to simulate additional positions using vjoy on the backend and the combination key functionality in game. I will give you and example:

Here are the shift layouts I am looking to simulate:

Here is my actual shifter layout:

R 1 3 5 7
|-+-N-+-|
  2 4 6

Here is the pattern I'm creating by using one of the shift knobs as a sort of modifer (which from the point of the software works perfectly to simulate this thanks to your mod):

    5 7 <- With modifier pressed
R 1 3
|-+-N-|
  2 4
    6 8 <-With modifier pressed

Each gear has a high and low range for 16 forward and 2 reverse gears

    5 7 <- With modifier pressed
R 1 3   C
|-+-N-+-|
  2 4
    6 8 <-With modifier pressed

All gears on a single range. The crawler (C) gear goes on my shifters 7th position because of the need for a push down to engage which prevents using it in normal operation.

  5 7 <- With modifier pressed
1 3
|-N-|
2 4
  6 8 <-With modifier pressed

This is specifically for a Unimog. For this one I use a separate shifter as a direction shuttle and range selector.

the 9th and 10th position actually give me the ability to do this layout using my shifter and your mod. I cannot tell you how awesome this is.

I realize this is somewhat of a special case (instead of tractors, this is being used to simulate Mercedes agriculture heavy vehicles such as the Unimog and Zetros utility trucks) but I can imagine this helping others.

Most trucks I have seen so far don't have full 10 gears, usually 4, 5 or 6 gears with a splitter to make 8/10/12 gears. A splitter is the same as a rangeset in RMT. This still only has those initial gear positions then though, the split gears work via a button/lever. I don't know too much about trucks though
