OK, another in my long line of stupid questions. And yes, believe it or not I have spent time reading the manual. For some reason, the couple of times I have gotten into a ground vehicle, I have not been able to get the darn thing to move. Here is what I try. "E" to start the engine, "Q" to put it in gear, then "W" in case I was shifting the wrong way..... What am I missing?

Push your joystick forward fella....use q to go up the gears, w to go back down (climbing hills etc)... :salute

After you hit Q to get into first gear, push joystick forward to start moving. If you hit Q once, then W you are just back into the neutral gear - no movement of course. There is a gear indicator at the drivers position.
If still nothing works, your stick may not mapped for Mode 2 yet (the standard mode for vehicles) - Just go to map controllers, select your stick, select Mode 2 and klick the "Copy Mode 1" button.
Two more tips:
- You can set your views in tanks just like in a plane. It's essential for the drivers position, where you can use the arrow / pg up keys to move your head outside the tank. Contrary to a frequent belief this doesn't make you more vulnerable.
- While moving, you can steer your tank from the commander's or gunner's position by using the rudder.

Once again, very helpful. Many thanks. <<S>>

be sure to set up your stick in "mode 2" if you have it switch for vehicles.

I tried mapping my CH HOTAS setup for mode 2 to try a vehicle but when I went back to fly a plane all my mode 1 settings had been deleted.
I don't use the CH program, I use the in game controller mapper.

Make sure to check the box to automatically select modes. It will use the correct mode when you choose a plane or gv.

From the gunners position, can you Brake and switch Gears? Thank You Ketinkrad

No. That can be done only from drivers position.
