Is this bug ever going to be addressed at all?
All the cars with sequential shifters haven’t worked right since the game was released. The driver moves the shifter once for upshifting and downshifting and won’t touch them when you continue to upshift or downshift.
I’ve been pleading with them to fix this since launch. The R390 Nissan, most touring cars and some rally cars do this. Tanner Foust’s Beetle doesn’t even animate, nor do some manuals in several older F1 cars. Even the TVR Sagaris and Mazda MX-5 Cup animate as paddle shifts, even though they are manuals.
Now that you mention it, some shifters just go side to side instead of the up down motion it should do.
I think this is by design, because it works as a selector, not as a proper shifter. So you upshift, the lever moves and all the upshifting you do will not move the lever unless you downshift, which repeats the routine for downshifts.
There are many bugs in shifting animations across all the cars, but I don’t think they feel like fixing it for now, because the Spec Miata remains bugged since release despite numerous people reporting it in the forums. ForzaRC is more important to them (and I say this ironically, of course).
