Smile Re: Automatic Shifting Algorithm

*Warning this is coming from a person who also has a vague idea what he is doing* I would try and forgo providing any imput from the joysticks. The whole purpose of an automatic transmission is that you can jam the pedal all the way down without having to worry about destroying the motor. I would focus on the wheel speed only. At 0-X1 the gearbox would be set to to the lowest gear. At x1-x2 the gearbox would shift up. At x2-x3 the gearbox would then again shift up. At x3-max speed the gearbox would be at it's final speed. The x's represent the maximum speeds that the gear transmision would obtain. So in my eyes it would be a simple inequality.
If speed is greather than 0 but less than X1 shift into lowest gear ratio.
If speed is greater than X1 but less than X2 shift up into second gear.
If speed is greather than X2 but less than X3 shift up into third gear.
If speed is greater than X3 or equal to max speed shift into forth.
