Title: probably being a dolt but cant get gvs outta 1st gear
Post by: JimmyC on May 02, 2014, 05:18:11 PM
All my gvs stay  in 1st gear..
Cant get them to up a gear..its very annoying
Done shift w...does not seem to help...
 :headscratch: bet its an easy solution but I cant nail it
I came back to the game recently but I think its a new issue
I am probably being really stupid.
Any help would be much apreciatd
Cheers
Jimmy

Tanks are now running automatically, which means they shift for you.


Are you reaching your top speed?

Make sure your rudder trim is centered.

I quite often find if it's doing that for me, quick tap left and right on my rudder pedals, then hit W gets me moving again.  Shift-W doesn't really seem to work for me in that scenario sometimes, not sure why.  My rudders have a fair bit of deadband in them, so I don't think accidental rudder input is the issue.

The rudder seems to be the biggest problem I have,,, it happened to me the other day for the first time,  a little bit of turn and it will only creep along, no matter what you do!

Ive this problem also. Move your joystick around while holding down W and it should start shifting. Means your rudder trim isn't 100% centered.

Hope this helped

As an added tip, you can use the"stuck in first" deal as a way to creep along. Just get rolling and add just a touch of rudder. The tank will creep along slowly as you advance to a new position, or creep up on those enemy campers  :devil
