I've tried tanking a little lately and found something I wonder if "normal". When you first spawn or after you stop to look around. To move forward you are suppose to hold the W key and the vehicle should start to move forward and shift automatically. For some reason I got transmission problems. If I don't yaw a little with my rudder pedal, it stays in first gear for ever. So I need to play a little rudder, then leave it and it will shift automatically until last gear or top speed. Is it the way it's suppose to be? Can you shift manually like before or it's all automatic? Tks

if you want your tank to move on full speed just press SHIFT + W. that should put you in the last gear and get you where you want to go. no need to use the rudder, and it shifts automatically.

However, if your stick/ rudder is out of calibration it will keep it in first gear. The idea is you are turning so you can't build enough rpms to shift. That's why when you add some rudder it shifts.
-
You are right Fugitive about out of calibration but if it was that much off, it would kick out of autopilot when I'm flying and it's not. :headscratch:
-
My guess is the autopilot needs more input before disengaging, whereas GV control takes very little input to start the vehicle turning.

Calibrate when in mode 2 as well.
-
I've found the same problem even after calibration.
-
Ive had the same problem off and on even after calibrating.
-
Same here. Calibrating doesn't seem to make a difference. Also it is intermittent in the same evening which is not consistent with a calibration issue.
-
Do you guys use twisty sticks? I know I never have a problem unless I get lazy and just hang my feet on my pedals. If Im no touching them I have no issues at all.

No I use CH rudder pedals. they are clean, aligned and calibrated. I have the problem as discribed by the OP with my feet on or off of the pedals. I must touch one of the pedals to get the automatic transmission to shift gears.
-
I've had the same problem on several occasions. I've found the only way to fix it is to stop then start again. Hitting shift W doesn't work to get it to shift unless it's already working normally and if I let go of my stick my tank goes straight.
-
Same here for the CH setup. Checked manually to see numbers jumping and they are not. Also found that if I just stop, see the tranny come into neutral and try again sometimes it worked fine like BaldEagle said. Not consistant at all. Maybe it's some kind of bug. Unfortunately, sometimes when you up a tank, seconds are very long if the spawn is camped :)
-
It happens with me either using my keyboard W or the W I have mapped onto my G-13 game board. Since I discovered how they changed GVs I mapped everything to my G-13 and now only use my joystick to fire and turn the turret.
-
Which tanks/GV's are you having issues with? All of them or just certain ones?
-
Me Dot it's everything, tanks, m3, m8 up to now.
Black70 :salute
-
Yep, it's everything. For me it's been Tiger, Panzer, Osti and Wirble.
-
Interesting... I've not had a single issue with any gv not doing as I ask it to do. I hit W, it creeps forward. I hit W 4-5 times, it speeds up a bit more. I hit Shift/W and away I go to the races. Same goes for reverse. I've had no issues turning, aiming, firing, zooming, farting, or anything.
Maybe I will hold a training clinic on controlling a gv. ;)
-
I've got clean CH pedals as well, occasionally have that '1st' gear problem. Turn engine OFF, turn it ON, calibrate all axis....USUALLY squares it away, though more than once, being stuck in first gear has gotten me killed
-
The new gv system gets me too. Doesnt want to leave 1st gear, downshifts on flat terrain,etc.
:cheers: Oz
-
Anybody figure this out??
-
Only time I have any trouble is when I lean one of my feet against the pedals. As soon as I tap the pedals to center them, the thing takes off.

me, all of them.
It's likely the one thing that make me want to :bhead more than anything... It's crap honestly...
