Is it possible to have separate selections for axle ratios and transmissions?

Admittedly, this would mostly come into play for cars and trucks.

But I'm wondering if this would be doable as it would allow more flexibility for those vehicles without having to bloat the configuration file with clones.

Especially because in real life, choosing the right axle ratio is a major consideration.

All the major axle manufacturers (such as Dana and Meritor, for example) provide dozens of axle ratios for their models.

Hi Dudejo,

Adding configurations is a lot of work. The copy&paste work to duplicate some configurations for different axle speeds is much less work.

If I wanted to truly build a truck configuration with all the possible options as real life does, the configuration file would need up to 50 different entries. The vast majority of those would be clones for the sake of accommodating the axle ratios.

Having a separate selection for axle ratios would cut down that number down to a MUCH smaller fraction.

As a bonus, it would make it easier to adapt trucks to different map sizes, such as the 8km x 8km maps Corn Belt and Dakota.
