Ok so weird gripe with Forza 5 and all forzas i think, but why doesn’t the gear stick move when u shift up/down or why don’t you see the paddles move towards you when u pull them to change gears, it hasn’t made much sense to me, It couldn’t be that hard to animate the paddle moving backwards, the gear stick thing wouldn’t even be noticeable by a lot i think, since most cars you can’t even see it but i’ve always wondered that. it would look so much cooler if they moved.
Long answer: T10’s apparently so busy trying to make the perfect game that they actually don’t make it perfect. Honestly though, I do see what you’re after, as they spend enough time on every other part of the car as is, and they do already animate steering wheels and driver movement… Animated gear sticks and handbrakes gave my DiRT3 experience a surprising level of depth from something so small… It’d be cool to see the extra animations in a future Forza.
Short answer: Nope.
The in cockpit driver isn’t a patch on the one in FM4 when it comes to co-ordinated movements. This issue has been raised a number of times. And it can be very irritating. one assumes T10 will address it eventually. I’m trying to decide if its my imagination if less of the actual dashboard instruments are working now.
