It is possible to change gear by InSim or only in C#? I wonna write new automatic gearbox in c# for cruisers.

Nah, not with InSim, but it's possible to write a C# program that does this. You would need to simulate a key or button press to change the gear, but it's doable.

What about IS_SCH?

struct IS_SCH // Single CHaracter - send to simulate single character
{
    byte    Size;        // 8
    byte    Type;        // ISP_SCH
    byte    ReqI;        // 0
    byte    Zero;

    byte    CharB;        // key to press
    byte    Flags;        // bit 0 : SHIFT / bit 1 : CTRL
    byte    Spare2;
    byte    Spare3;
};

Should simulate a gear change in LFS, if you know the button it's mapped to. Unless I'm reading IS_SCH wrong

Well yeah, I forgot about that. My bad.

I don't think it'll work using SCHs, only non-driving related buttons (horn, hazard warning lights, etc.) can be SCH'ed afaik. Probably some sort of anti-cheating precaution.

But when I setted Z as gear_up and i go on sequential on G25 the gear can't be changed by C# but keyboard Z works!

Ah OK, didn't know that, haven't used SCH before
