While watching various FM7 footage on YouTube lately, I’ve noticed that multiple cars have incorrect shifting animations. Two I have specifically spotted are the 2017 #22 Holden V8 Supercar and the 2009 #92 BMW M3 GT2.
For both these cars, the first shift animation is like that of a normal manual car, moving the gear stick back into second, and then no animations happen for any of the other upshifts. Likewise, the first downshift moves the stick forward, and subsequent downshifts also have no animation. What makes this odd is that both these cars have sequential gearboxes, meaning that the stick should simply return to a central position after every shift up or down, and would not stay forward or back.
Hopefully this bug can be remedied, as it makes these cars, and presumably others with the same style of gearbox, look quite inaccurate from cockpit view.
