speed problems in GVs please help

[Taurus45]

Hello All:

When in Tank almost always it will not shift out of 1st gear, this regardless of how often I hit W. Sometimes if I turn eng off and restart it that will fix problem but most times will not.

I woud say that this happens about 90% of time I use Tank or other GV, could my connection be causing this?

Are you using a twisty stick?. If there is any kind of turning input the tank will not shift gears. Check to be sure your stick isn't out of calibration and adding some turn input.

 This new transmission was a terrible change to the tanks in here. I know what you are saying about the tank not moving. I used to GV most the time I played AH until this new transmission came along and now I fly most the time. To bad we can't get the Supreme Court to review this decision.

I had the same problem at one time. The Fugitive's answer was the ticket to making it work.

Try calibrating your stick.

 Taurus,

  Hey old friend!   

  Select mode 2 and then hilite the yaw axis,check advanced box and go to the deadpan slider,move it up about 1/4 to 1/2 inch,see if that removes the unwanted rudder inputs.  Also I told you it's shift + W to go to high gear!

   Increasing deadpan increases the centering effect and should remove that unwanted input.



   YMMV.

Fugi,

Are you saying that the analog device you map to the Z-axis(rudder) will interfere with the transmission program function if it detects input? How can this be since we use the Z-axis to control the direction of the vehical?

I have the same problem with wirbels that I cannot get the wirbel to stop moving even if I hit the stop button. I have to turn off the engine. I often wind up stopped against trees or bushes after creeping into them when I hit the stop button then try to down shift to a stop manualy. Or hitting the stop button down shifts for a moment then the wirble shifts back up to full speed. I experience this in other vehicals sometimes. I'm using a Ch Fighter Stick and Saitek rudder pedals with my Go, Stop and Gears up\down mapped to buttons on my CH Throttel.

yes that is what I mean. If there is any "turn" input the tank will not shift gears. I use it to creep around. Add a bit of input to one of my rudders as I can run around in which ever gear I want.
