[Floating gears down with jake brake on...]

Hello and thank you for making this posting. I hope I can be of some assistance. 
 

Something you have to understand when it comes to floating the gears and you don't see this in a lot of videos is you have to understand the truck you have to understand the weight that you're hauling you have to know the gears that you have and you need to know the grade of the road you're currently traveling on a lot of things what I do is as I'm slowing down and I'm using the jake brake I will shift down and I'll let the RPM wind up and it just as it almost bottoms out then I'll go to downshift again and that's how I'm floating my gears while using jake brake it depends on each truck and it depends on how you drive so my type of driving style may be completely different to yours this is something that you literally have to learn on your own and you have to feel comfortable there's thousands and thousands of people on here and every one of them could tell you something different so the best way to describe it would be go ahead and get in the truck and get on Flat Road and start downshifting and see how it works and then if your are not really getting any kind of response then go somewhere that has a downgrade but not a very steep one and try to start downshifting while floating through the gears that way then you'll get an understanding of how the truck actually handles

Hey there.

 

Mostly I've been using the Kenworths. My issue is when I'm at max gear, max speed, with RPMs up in 2,000. On average how much do I have to let them fall? I know when at 1,500 I can let them fall to 1000, bring them up to around 1,500, then down shift. The issue is when my RPMs are maxed in the last gear 7 L, or 7 H. I'm guessing allowing them to fall at 1,500, and then bringing them up to 2,000 for a downshift is just too high? That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Hello there @Carolina_Trucking

Here's a video that explains how to float gears easily, and what RPM's you should be at when doing so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOhkliFhnn4

If you need any further help, don't hesitate to let me know 

Kind regards,

Unfortunately, he doesn't float down with the jake brake on.  I'm trying to find out what's the rpms for floating down when it's on.

[Floating gears down with jake brake on...]

I can float them down without the jake brake on, but I can't when it's on. What RPMs should I be floating down at?

All of my inquiries are covered. This can be located to solved.

Alright, from what I can tell, it seems when I type 'uset' before typing rest of the command in, it works.

 

However, every time I boot up a game, do I have to type the code in, or does the game save it?

It was a spelling mistake on my part, the command is g_hshifter_synchronized, not g_hshifter_synchronous

It does require the 0 at the end too correct?

I'll try responding today with an answer. I need to try out it in order to confirm if it's solved yet or not.

Advanced shifting acts like a synchronous shifter

 

g_hshifter_synchronous 0 makes it act like its non-synchronous

 

The difference between a synchronous gearbox/non-synchronous gearbox is not an easy task to explain without imagery or video, so I recommend looking up how various synchronous/non-synchronous gearboxes work on YouTube.

I may've figured out the issue now. When I type it in, it says unknown command in red text; however, when I use other commands, like weather ones, that red text doesn't pop up. It seems as if it's not accepting the synchronized command. Do you know why?

No -  g_hshifter_synchronous and "Advanced shifting" are different.

 

Advanced shifting by itself simulates a synchronous shifter. Simple shifting (+ simple shifting with warning sounds) is pretty much just unrealistic.

What's the difference between the two? I know on advanced mode, without the command entered, I can't simply shift when I want to, without gear grind.

Thanks for the move. Wasn't sure where I needed to post it at.

[Is g_hshifter_scynchronized 0 still needed?]

To my comprehension, it makes the transmission non-scynchronized, but I believe I've read somewhere that advanced mode currently does the same thing for you, as typing in that command does.

 

Can anyone confirm if this is the case or not?

[How do I get 1.37.1.16?]

Such a simple fix. Much thanks for the aid.

[How do I get 1.37.1.16?]

Currently I have 1.38.0.88, but I require 1.37.1.16 to play TruckersMP. I looked in my proprieties and Beta for versions, but my game doesn't have 1.37.1.16 anywhere listed. I'm guessing I'll have to actually download it somewhere.
