Talk:Audi TT RS Coupé Championship/@comment-94.76.19.153-20190507132859/@comment-28169398-20190507203516

I brought it up to FM yesterday and got a very detailed answer, but as I am not an automotive engineer, I only kind of got it.

The gear ratios are basically exactly what the data Audi publishes on the car is. The TT RS has 2 final drives (gear ratio for the differentials) and it goes back and forth between the two when shifting between gears (except between 6th and 7th)... LOTS OF TECHNICAL LANGUAGE THAT I DON"T UNDERSTAND WELL ENOUGH TO EXPLAIN... RR3 only simulates a single final drive. So there is a disconnect when it selects gears on downshifts...

They are looking into whether or not they can work around this, it doesn't sound like it is straight forward, but it isn't something that can be fixed with a hot fix, so we probably won't see the fix for the duration of this update or next if they are able to come up with one.

As a side note, some people have commented on the accuracy of the gearing on the Chiron. That is an example of the attention to detail the new lead designer has for cars.
