Transmission Realism?
 

Is there only 6 gears?

Or will we have the option for range-change and/or gear splitters?
if so:
Will these be implemented by an extra keystroke?

Conference is over I think Nobody will answer these questions, Maybe I'm wrong :)

Evengy said they will answer more

I think he said they will answer those questions which weren't answered in conference thread, but not new ones asked yesterday.

Like I've heard from TruckPol,there are only 6 gears...They just think about Logitech G25
As you can see from the videos,trucks are acting like car(fast acceleration,fast brake,crap turning) and there is no damn need for 6+ gears

But let's hope there is :S

As I see from videos I'm happy that physics are better than Wos for me, and I like how fast they are going, in wos you drive at 80 but it feels like 40! now thats what is crap!

Evengy said they will answer more soon, we have to post them in the main forum tho not the conference one.

I need more than 6 gears... the game needs more than 6 gears! there should be an option for 6 or 18! etc! at least switches to change ranges or something i hate in 18WOS u just go through the whole gear box like.... up up up up up up argh! if i wanted to split a gear I WOULD!!

Is the transmission (h gate) shift achieved by key / button strokes?

Well even though I'm not sure, I think that there'll be a button to change between the Hi/Lo range. But I'm not so sure you'll be able to split gears. Hopefully yes :D
Maybe Evgeny can confirm this?

on the g25 shifter each gear represents a button, if u have a shifter with more buttons u can achieve more gears? its very easy to implement a range shift and splitter, extremely easy i can build a shift gate consisting of 6 gates 6 buttons and each button can represent a 3 gears from the press of a switch or two. check my post on building your own shifter, i will be soon uploading diagrams!
