GearShifter

So, Nanta recently wrote to me asking for help with the FT code for the shifter.
I explained to him how to make a simple system, but I thought that moving the handle diagonally wasn't right, so I'm posting this mechanism where the handle actually moves in the H direction.

FT

selecting a gearby pressing Yaw:

Gear clamp(Gear+clamp(Yaw10000,-1,1)ceil(rate(ceil(abs(Yaw))*0.001)),-1,5)

FT for rotators:

ShiftHor
smooth((Gear=1|Gear=2?1:(Gear=3|Gear=4?0:(Gear=5|Gear=(-1)?-1:0))),(abs(ShiftVer)>0.1?0:50))
ShiftVer
smooth((Gear=1|Gear=3|Gear=5?1:(Gear=2|Gear=4|Gear=-1?-1:0)), pow(abs(ShiftVer) + 0.05, 0.7) * 10)

    @MVC So I once considered allowing continuous downshifting by holding the yaw input during deceleration to mimic skip-shifting, but this approach might compromise the driving interaction.

    @FinnAatrox To do this, we need to imagine how to implement the logic of such switching. obviously, we can't switch from 5 to 2 using only two buttons. I can make the switch using activation groups, but this is obviously not a convenient approach. I can also make the gearshift automatic instead of manual, and the handle will move properly, but obviously this is not what we are thinking about.

    It seems still cannot skip-shift downshifts (e.g., 5th → 2nd), maybe with no real breakthrough in mastering this technique?
