Full Version: Neutral to 1st Gear

Hey Everyone,

I'm new to VDrift and the linux world; I just installed Ubuntu and VDrift. I have a question about auto shifting. I have it enabled but I noticed it doesn't shift from neutral to 1st gear; is this by design? or is there a way to enable this feature? I have my boys playing and it would be easier for them to press the gas button to accelerate at the beginning of the race. Also, is there a way to bind a key to make the car go in reverse? Instead of down shifting to reverse and then hitting the gas is there a way to bind this to one key? Keep up the great work!

Thanks!

the neutral to first is by design to let you do a burnout etc (makes it more realistic). same concept with the reverse.... but im sure if you mess around with the controls file a bit you can get it to work Big Grin Big Grin
If you look in the options, controls section there are some options to bind certain gear changes to certain buttons. You can set a button to put the car into reverse, but you'll have to press the gas button to get it to go anywhere.
