FFB Shifter Support

Now this is not really a "new" thing. The use of FFB Joysticks as Shifters is a pretty old idea, even though there weren't really any FFB Joysticks in the market during the last ~10 years.
But if you have one and use an appropriate program, it works out of the box, nothing to be done by the game devs.

Now finally a company seems to go into this direction again (possibly coming end of 2018 or in 2019) with a very cool and interesting concept by not using motors/servos but the electromagnets directly:


They do support shifter mode (around 1:14min), so you can use it for that.
However, it would be even cooler, if the game would support it directly (meaning that it just acts like a FFB joystick) as that would allow for some cool features, like:
- Automatic change between H-shifter and sequential shifter
- Automatic change between different H-shifter patterns, e.g. 4-speed, 5-speed, 4-speed dog leg etc.
- Locking gears, be it because they aren't there (like 5th gear in a 4-speed box)
- Locking gears because of faulty shifting (not using clutch or similar)

Surely not the focus within the current development (of ACC), but maybe for the future, when H-shifter cars in AC are a thing again.
