Hi Dev,
I’m using RealDash on a Toyota GT86 unfortunately I don’t know to send the file to you but I will keep trying. I have shared it in my realdash
Most of the dash is straightforward at first glance, but there are some interactive features and logic that aren’t obvious unless you know they’re there, for example:
• Pressing MAP switches to show tyre pressures and vice versa
• Pressing the Toyota logo toggles the media view
• Pressing the TRD logo switches the dash to a red “sport” theme
• Pressing RPM activates launch mode (rev bar flashes, “Launch activated” indicator shows, RPM display changes to launch RPM in red)
• When 2nd gear is selected, launch mode automatically cancels and everything returns to normal
• There is also a custom shift light and some warning logic
I’m mentioning this just so you know the file isn’t only static gauges and some behaviour is hidden behind touch areas and conditions.
The one issue I’m trying to solve is the calculated gear display.
I’m using:
“Gear (Master Speed, RPM, Gear Ratio)”
with correct gear ratios entered.
The gear is always correct once a gear is fully engaged. However, during downshifts (especially heel-toe), while the clutch is in and the drivetrain is unloaded, the calculated gear sometimes briefly flashes completely wrong gears (for example 4th or even 5th when going from 3rd to 2nd) before settling on the correct gear.
It does not show N unless stopped. It’s just mis-identifying the gear during the shift because RPM and speed are temporarily in an ambiguous state.
I’ve tried Value Smoothing (even at 100%), but it doesn’t really solve it because the underlying calculated value genuinely jumps to those gears for a short time.
Is there any supported way in RealDash to:
• Only update the displayed gear when the calculated gear has been stable for some time?
• Or hold the last valid gear until the new gear is clearly engaged?
• Or any other recommended approach for manual cars using calculated gear?
I’m completely fine with a small delay in the display if that’s what it takes. I just want to avoid showing obviously wrong gears during shifts.
Thanks for your time.
Kind regards,
John.
