Normal multiple downshift
What's a normal multiple downshift behavior ?
I thought that you pull the paddle, wait almost a second then it clunks you directly into the lowest safe calculated gear. The rpm is close or at redline.
Instead, I get a downshift then one more.
So I keep holding the down paddle, I get one downshift then a bit quicker one more.
Is this it?
I thought I'm cruising in 7th at 1500 rpm hold the paddle and bam! Biiiiig blip and here comes 4th and say hello to 6000 RPM ....
Am I trying this from too low an RPM?
I mean I goes from 7 to 6 and gains like 2-300 rpm then pause then down to 5th and maybe up to 3000-3500? After this I can hold the paddle till kingdom come, nothing else happens.

Lol try being in s+ and 7th gear and floor the car and hit the kick down.it will rev match to the lowest gear it can even if it's only for 300rpm before hitting the rev limiter.
In m mode it will drop a gear at a time.

Or hold the paddle while you floor it. It should kick down immediately like when you are in one of the non-M modes.

I tried to hold the paddle in manual mode from a low rpm. That was a disappointment.
I'll try to hold the paddle and floor it at the same time, let's see what this does.
