SOENDERBY Automatic 1-3+R Gear Controller
A fairly straight forward controller that automatically shifts up at a configurable high RPS, and down at an also configurable low RPS. You control the Reverse-Neutral-Drive position with Up/down from a seat. The controller also controls the clutch automatically, multiplying the w/s input when in drive or reverse, and keeping it disengaged in neutral gear.

Setup
It's pretty much connecting the nodes to their respective components, but some may be misunderstood especially for newer builders, so heres what could be done wrong and how to do it right
Up/down -
Connect to the driver seats up/down node, and configure that control on the seat to be 100% sensitivity, so that its an instant value when pressed.
Engine enabled -
Make sure that this node in the controller gets a constant ON signal whenever the engine used is running. If not, the gears will not work as the controller resets the gear when the engine is disabled.
W/S -
Connect this, and the clutch output to your engine clutch, if you want the controller to manage clutch values. It is not necessary, you can use your own clutch control and it will theoretically not effect anything, although i have not tested it.
Current gear -
Connect to a dial, or configure to a 7-segment if desired to monitor the current gear. The node will output -1 when in reverse, 0 when in neutral, and 1 through 3 displaying the gear number.

Gear configuration guide
If you are unsure on how to setup your gears in game, you can view the last featured picture on this page and see how the gearbox, i used when i made this controller, looks.
Its firstly a gear facing the engine (indicated by the blue arrows) in ration off 3:2 and on: -1:1 (reverse), followed by 3 gears facing the wheels, all configured ratio off 9:5 and on 3:2

The system works great with the ZE modular engine controller

This workshop upload is my very first ever, so if you run into flaws (which is likely) then let me know, although take into consideration that i am not much online, and so reading comments is not my first priority. (this dude even expect people to see his upload like, who does he think he is)
If i am lucky enough to have my controller used in another workshop upload, i will kindly ask to be credited, and maybe hit me up in the comments or something and id love to see what it was used it.
Oh yeah and you may have noticed SOENDERBY written a bunch of places. That's my fictional company that i brand everything i upload with.
Thank you and enjoy
