Realistic Shifting in Forza Horizon: A Player's Quest for Realism

Introduction

In the vibrant world of virtual racing, the boundaries between game and reality are becoming increasingly indistinct. I’m Gino, a passionate Forza Horizon player, and I’ve embarked on a mission to blur these lines even further. Inspired by the game’s stunning landscapes and the peaceful sensation of driving, I’ve noticed something crucial was missing—the gearbox.

The Drive for Authenticity

Forza Horizon mesmerizes us with its beautiful environments and engaging gameplay, yet the automatic gearbox doesn’t quite capture the true essence of driving. Driven by my passion, I set out to create a gearbox mod that closely replicates the intricate workings of a real car’s transmission.

The Mod That Elevates Driving

My realistic gearbox mod isn’t just a minor adjustment; it’s a significant transformation of the driving experience in Forza Horizon. It introduces:

  • Smooth and Natural Shifts: Gear changes that are as smooth as they are in real driving.
  • Varied Driving Modes: Choose from Normal, Sports, Eco, or Manual modes, each shaping the driving experience to your preference.

The Community’s Voice

The desire for a more realistic gearbox is echoed in online forums and discussions. Players are seeking a deeper connection with their virtual cars—a clear indication that there’s a strong interest in my project.

A Collaboration of Significance

My proposal to the Forza Horizon development team is more than just an improvement; it’s a call to take the game’s realism to new heights. Integrating this mod could make Forza Horizon not just a game, but a benchmark for virtual driving experiences.

The Road Ahead

While I wait for a response from the development team, the dream of a more authentic Forza Horizon driving experience remains alive. I invite the community to watch the demo video and join the conversation about what the future could hold for the game’s gearbox.

Conclusion

At the intersection of gaming and reality, my gearbox mod for Forza Horizon stands as a testament to all who seek a genuine driving experience. It’s about more than just playing a game; it’s about feeling every shift and turn as if you’re actually out on the road.

Why did you get AI to make this entire post?

Ignoring the AI image which just made me sad, the post doesnt actually say anything other than express the desire for " Smooth and Natural Shifts" (whatever that means, you/the AI didnt explain it) and " Varied Driving Modes" with some level of dissatisfaction shown towards automatic gearboxes.
Then the post is literally just there 2 times, as you pasted it in from somewhere else and didnt notice you did it an extra time, and you left the AI UI message there… how professional.

that aside, is it that you dont like the automatic gearbox setting in the game and would like different modes availible (presumably in some menu) that changes the shift points of the car? I think that would be nice for those that play on auto, though I would be worried about it being forgotten about about and then a player enters the trial or something and all of a sudden is stuck with awful shift points for racing.

Can I suggest in the meantime that you instead settle for the setting called “Manual” which allows for the changing of gears without needing to use the clutch? that way you can just tap X or B when you would expect the car to shift up in an “Eco mode”.
Also, please dont use AI to fill up the forum, just write 2 sentences saying what you want or actually have something to say that takes this many words.
