Gearbox Failure? [GPL]

Gearbox Failure? [GPL]

by Devo » Sun, 18 Oct 1998 04:00:00

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced gearbox failure in GPL.  I
qualified fairly well for an on-line race at the Glen last night, but
when I got dropped into the grid for the start I couldn't get my Ferrari
into first gear!

I did just re-configure my Thrustmaster Nascar Pro to use the buttons
on the wheel for clutch and arm, as opposed to look left, look right (how
I had it before).  Is it possible that because I had the clutch in (the
button pushed) that the channel to the gear shift got screwed up on my
wheel, or could this have been a random mechanical failure in GPL?

For the first part of the time on the grid for multi-player races, the
gearbox is disabled.  Just keep trying to get it into first gear.
Eventually the gearbox will be enabled (sometime just before the flag
man appears).
