I'm setting up a C125 with an M400 ECU in a Honda roadrace car. Until we get the wheel speed sensors working, I'd like to use GPS speed and engine RPMs for the gear indicator. I've set up the ratios properly, but since I cannot drive the car currently, I'm using the simulation function to test the gear indicator - however it doesn't work. I set a screen up to display Engine RPM and GPS speed, which are correctly displaying the values that I input, but the gear indicator stays on "N" regardless of the values I put in. Is this an indication of a problem, or will the gear indicator not work in simulation mode?

I did notice some of the calculated fields that use GPS Speed are also not updating like I'd expect, for example Ground Speed. It's equal to GPS Speed, but remains 0 despite GPS Speed equaling the value I input.

Thanks again!

Because of the way GPS channels work in the background you can't simulate them properly.

Other than actually driving the car, the only way to test your setup is to change the channel input into your speed/distance calculations to one that can be simulated (such as a constant channel) and then change it back to GPS Speed to be used in the car.
