In real cars i possible to shift neutral when you pusch both padles. This option could be helpfull in some situations.

Can you make reference to which cars? I don't know any cars that can do this (not that i've tried holding both at the same time before)

Which type of sequential gearbox ? Computer controlled ?

FYI, the only car in LFS with a sequential gearbox + paddles is the BF1, all other sequentially shifted cars are actually simulating a sequential gearstick, where it is impossible to engage both the up and downshift at the same time.

Only padles:
Lamborgini Gallardo.

Gearstick:
BMW M3 with SMG have padles and gearstick.
Gearstick Function:
Left: Neutral
Right: Switching manual/ automatic
Front/back: Down/UP

So, in a Gallardo, when you pusch both paddles at the same time the gearbox goes into neutral ?

Interesting. I'll look for more info.

why would you want to do this? you could also just clutch.

Quote from carey :

I’d rather have a neutral button (that could only be engaged whilst in first gear).

and why - if you want to do it at all - would you want it to be only possible from the first gear?

If that was the case you would just down shift to neutral

I personally dont see the function of this suggestion, what good would it do?

In some siuations (after accident, etc) you need downshift lot of gears (from 6 to 1 or R)

But this is real!
Race cars with seq. gearbox must shift down one by one, like a bike!

Real race cars with sequential transmissions do not allow you to downshift past 1st gear. You always have to pull a lever or push a button or pull a cord for neutral. Same for road cars. Sometimes it's pulling both paddles (really bad idea IMO), but most modern sequentials have a stick on the center console that has a neutral setting just like an auto box.

I always try to put the car in neutral when I spin in LFS. I would like a neutral button of some kind. Though, if I had a clutch pedal I'd just use that.

Can't you just push the clutch ? Instant neutral transmission...
Get a button for clutch if you don't afford a clutch pedal.

If you have a accident when you are in 6th gear (over 200kmph), you don't need to get back to first gear, you need to get back to the pits in the Shift+P way.

After spin without damage. In race somebody can hit you in a back in high speed corner.

Shift+P = End of race for you.

good idea, but i dont think now is the time to add it

Big update is comig. This is only small function. This does not need lot of coding.
So why not?

i guess you are right, but even a day of time delayed will make some selfish noobs go crazy!
