TOPIC: Cannot change gear in automatic?

Cannot change gear in automatic? 11 Sep 2015 04:50 #51442

This has been driving me crazy! I can't get out of Park on an automatic car - it just won't change gear, at all. All other controls are fine, but it won't change gear.

To preemptively answer some basic questions:
Yes, I'm pressing down the brake pedal
Yes, I've tried different button settings on both wheel and keyboard
Yes, I've tried with the "retain gear while pressed" both on and off
Yes, I've tried with standard vehicles as well as mod vehicles
Yes, I've tried different profiles
Yes, I've reinstalled the program
Yes, I've reinstalled the wheel driver
No, I haven't recently installed any updates
Yes, it worked perfectly fine previously
Yes, it's driving me insane.

Hi.

Be sure you have binded your gear shifts to buttons if you are using a shifter.

What kind of wheel do you have?

It's only a Thrustmaster Ferrari GT wheel, nothing fancy.

But yes, if you read above ;), I have tried it with the gear shifts having both wheel, AND keyboard bindings in case it was a problem with the wheel.

FYI, the gears change perfectly well in manuals, it's just the automatics that don't change.

Did this problem occur before, or is this the first time you tried auto?

Nope, I've had the game for years and had no problems except for the usual bugs that get sorted by simply reinstalling it. But I've been trying to fix this for a few months now.

Try deleting the Forward Development folder in your documents library. This resets your profile and all key bindings and control settings, giving you a new start. Or, try to re-assign your controls.
