Many many thanks for this very helpful tutorial. I upgraded to an 18 speed Peterbilt and tried everything to get my shifter sorted. Deleted config and control files. Set up a 2nd profile to try various ideas but nada. Rediscovered your video and the key was using the bottom right slot for reverse. Then everything fell into place. Heaps of other videos omitted this important step. So thanks again.

Hey what shifter do you have and what stearing wheele do you have?

@dieselsmokegaming 5 ай бұрын

All of the links to what I use are in the description. The actual steering wheel I use is just a generic 6 bolt steering wheel attached to the Logitech G29 steering wheel base. The shifter I use is a generic shifter from Amazon attached to the Thrustmaster TH8A shifter base.

You have to plug up the shifter base and shifter into USB ports on your computer. I use a USB hub to plug in everything.

I bought a similar shifter a few months back and now it stopped working on me. I never downloaded any software and my computer recognizes the shifter but not the inputs. I’ve switched the ports I’ve put the usb in and I can’t get it to work and sometimes it says hardware error in the device manager

@dieselsmokegaming 5 ай бұрын

I've had the same thing happen to me, I'm not sure why it does it. I had to buy another shifter. So far this one has held up and has good reviews. I'm assuming something shorted out internally on my old shifter. I never took it apart to confirm it though. If this one goes out I will purchase a custom one from someone like ats accessories. If that happens I will update the links in my description. If you are good with working on things you could take yours apart to see if anything has come apart on the inside. I don't really have a good answer for you buddy, I'm sorry.

Hi man, just got a question, i have the same knob with the logitecht g29 gear shifter. Is installed the knob but in game it shows up under the name ANXTF1. When i try to set up my stick itself does not work, the range selector and the splitter do work, but i can't get it in any gear somehow. What did you do to make it work with ats or ets2?

@dieselsmokegaming 10 ай бұрын

I haven't had that problem. It sounds like your Logitech base isn't being recognized. You are using the G29 gear shifter that came with the wheel? If so, and this may be a dumb question, but do you have the shifter plugged into the bottom of the steering wheel? Make sure that connection is tight, I don't recall having any problems when I was using the Logitech shifter. If all connections are tight, try to run the setup wizard and see if it will let you set up the shifter that way.

I can’t find any shifters that mimic the actual shifter in the truck I drive. I drive an Eaton 10 speed where reverse is top left and 1/6 is bottom left and gears 5/10 are on the bottom right. Any ideas on where I might find something to be realistic to what I actually drive? Or is this something that can be remapped and then I can ignore the top plate that has the pattern? I’m trying to make it as realistic as possible and don’t want to shift different in game compared to real life

@dieselsmokegaming 7 ай бұрын

I'm honestly not sure. I haven't used a 10 speed in the game so I will have to play around with it when I get on next time. I'm pretty sure there's a 10 speed option in the drop down menu in the settings. I'm not sure if you've tried that or not. I'll get on when I get off work and see if I can get it figured out.

i just bought a 18 speed shifter. But, i see that the high/low shifter arent in correct position, isn´t? Cause if you want to change from low to high speed, you need to press down the side switch instead of press up.... is there a way to revert it?

@dieselsmokegaming 9 ай бұрын

I haven't found a way to revert it back to the way it's supposed to be. I think the game recognizes the switch a certain way. I have had other people tell me that I can take the shifter apart and rotate the switch around to make it work the opposite way though. I haven't done it but it could be something to look into.

You don't go through all the gears, look for videos from real truckers you barely need to use the splitter in low range. In game, I sometimes split my low range gears when I'm on a ramp pulling heavy loads.

@dieselsmokegaming Жыл бұрын

That is correct, in game I barely split gears unless I'm recording a video and want it for dramatic effect or when I'm using an underpowered engine fully loaded.

@motox4124 6 ай бұрын

You might not need to go through all the gears in ats, but in real life it is good practice and sometimes necessary to go through all the gears. It helps everything wear evenly instead of abusing certain gears.

@raithrover1976 5 ай бұрын

@@motox4124Using some gears more than others won't do those gears any harm. Most real-life truck drivers have a regular block-changing patern that misses out certain gears. The main aim is to avoid unnecessary clutch slipping in lower gears when pulling away from a standing start.

Yes it is inverted, on a real Eaton Fuller the switch moves forwards and backwards. Since my button moves up and down the game on recognizes it a certain wait when you program it. I've tried to program it the right way but it won't recognize it that way for some reason.

Why does everyone drive in low? I haven't hardly seen anyone drive in high, isn't high supposed to give you faster speed, saves fuel, and more? Besides the times you need low and high like range-splitting and the roads, why does everyone drive in low?

@dieselsmokegaming 8 ай бұрын

Yes, high gear does give you better speed and fuel mileage but, low gears give you better torque. You need to get big heavy loads moving and keep them moving and low gears are best for that. You get into your high gears once you are up to speed on the highway.
