Hyundai IONIQ 5 N - Missing Manual Mode/Gear Shifts in HUD and Animation

Dear PlayGround Games, the Ignition sound mode and simulated manual transmission IONIQ 5 N are what mak the car so special compared to the lifeless EVs we already have in game. Please do not rob the vehicle of its personality.

The sound simulation is done so well IRL that you can hit the car’s rev limiter and the car responds like any ICE vehicle would! The sound also responds to bumps and gear shifts too like an ICE vehicle!

It is really bothersome that the car has no simulated gears and engine sound. Does not matter of you are the forts to add this car to the game, execution always matters!

The IRL car has a fantastic MANUAL shift mode that, once again, fully responds and behaves like an ICE car, with simulated sound - power reduction based on gear number when driving from standstill -and even lurching back-and-forth movements based on each shift!

Requesting to add simulated gears for the IONIQ 5 N. There is no engagement in driving an EV in one gear and Hyundai proved this.

Was really looking forward to playing around with the Ionig 5 N pretending its an ICE car and shift and make noises, much like many other virtual cars already do and figured it was easy to for the game to get this right. Alas its another fridge on wheels. I still hope they will update it and have it switchable between electric appliance transportation device mode and EV pretending its a stupid fun car mode

This sounds more like an SHUB suggestion rather than a THUB one.

(Incidentally, the manual shift mode you’re referring to is called N e-Shift)

Hey!

The IONIQ 5 N is coming to GT7 next month. I hope Polyphony Digital will have the big opportunity to record its Active simulated sound and have “E-shift” Paddle shifting animations.

I’m waiting to see how they will treat the 911 Turbo S and Ioniq 5 N. Such a shame FORZA.
