Title: GV's and First Gear
Post by: DevOps on February 01, 2016, 05:21:57 PM

lately I have been having issues getting any GV out of first gear.

I have been pressing W, even trying the old shift keys, Q and A.

What gives?

Wiggle your rudder.  Not sure why it happens, but when you start in a vehicle just do a quick kick on both sides and away you should go.

Wow, ok I will give a little wiggle. :)

I would have never thought to try that...

also make sure your rudder is centered.

Yes sir, recalibrating will fix this.  :)

Ya, if there's even a little turning input (regardless of what you use to steer), it will stay in first gear.  Sometimes increasing deadband if your control input choice (usually rudder pedals) is spikey helps.

In my experience, even if there's no input it will do this.  My rudders are centered and calibrated and more often than not when I enter a GV I need to kick them to get out of 1st.
