I’m playing with a H pattern shifter and when rewinding in a race it can be hard to choose the right gear when you resume play. Often I choose too low a gear and this causes the car to spin out of control. Is there any way to tell what gear your in when rewinding? The HUD disappears during the rewind.
I think if you were to be in cockpit, some cars display the gear on the dash or wheel. Other than that, I can’t think of another way.
I had a look in the news section, and didn’t see nothing about it.

It is annoying but I normally just rewind again and reselect the right gear.
The annoying thing is I think there is a bug with sim damage and rewind. If you are in the wrong gear after a rewind, the transmission will take damage. If you hit rewind again, I think the damage sustained earlier remains.
If you are referring to telemtry, it always displays 4% transmission damage.
I have to confirm what happened, but I was accumulating 4% increments of damage after every rewind that I didn’t have the shifter in the right gear.
I noticed during the drive that I was getting clutch slip in the meat of the power band. So after finishing the race, I watched the replay with telemetry.
When I watched the replay back, I saw that out of nowhere, an extra 4% damage would get applied to the transmission and I realised it was because I had to rewind that corner twice and that during the first rewind, I was in the wrong gear.
But it happened a while ago, while I was adjusting to the new steerring wheel and I turned sim damage off after that. Won’t be back at my Xbox for a while to confirm.
The extra damage was getting applied in the middle of a straight where I was maybe in 4th or 5th, but I was rewinding from a corner that saw me in 2nd or 3rd. Watching the replay back, the car is accelerating in the middle of the power band and suddenly an extra 4% damage gets added without there being a gear shift or clutch being touched.
You can always post this in the feature wishlist section. Turn 10 will read the wishlist thread, see your request, and if enough people make a similar request, it will make it into an iteration of the game five years ago…

Or they could read the thread, see his request, and if enough people make a similar request, they could have a good laugh and never do anything about it. Feels like the “troubleshooting” thread or whatever it’s called is their way of saying “talk to the hand”

Yea and this entire section is just to take that extra space on their drives…
Is there correct engine sound to rewinding? never used it since FM3… If no disregard next statement. If yes could you listen to it switch gears before it stops, and set the stick to correspond?
Wouldn’t call it correct but there is sound played in reverse. There is also a rewind sound played over the top of everything too.
Problem is I will often skip gears on the downshifts, braking from 5th say and changing into 2nd with an appropriate rev match.
I know the HUD disappears but can you turn telemetry on when you rewind or turn it on before hitting rewind (it might then stay up) so you can see what gear you are in?
