RC2000 automatic

Unless I press the acc fully, in automatic mode, the cars keep changing up and down instead of accelerating ? Is this just a bug, or is there some fix for it ??? (Yes I know it will go away if I select manual..) Had a similar permanent problem earlier when the brakes were hanging. Helped with some upper deadzone, so thats not it anymore.... Controller: Wingman FF Wheel. Joergen

Doses it have anything to do with the terrain or 'agricultural debris' (cow shit) on the road? The terrain has varying resistance which can drop you gears.

No , I dont think thats it. Looks like a bug in the program, happens allmost every time I accelerate. As soon as the car has changed up the program decides the rews are too low, so it shifts back down again, and now the rews are too high, so up a gear again etc. etc. ..... In most cases it does eventually stay in the higher gear and continue accelerating, but I loose a lot of time when this happens... Joergen

Is your gearbox set to the right? > > Doses it have anything to do with the terrain or 'agricultural debris' > (cow > > shit) on the road?

I don't have a clue why your having this problem. I don't remember ever hearing of it before so I wouldn't call it a bug. Maybe try posting this at the RC forum at High Gear www.simracingnews.com David G Fisher

that happens when you damage your gearbox. same thing happened to me. try to repair your gearbox before the stage and i think it will be fine. cheers -can > > Doses it have anything to do with the terrain or 'agricultural debris' > (cow > > shit) on the road?

No I am using the middle gear ratio. Changing the gear ratio will off course affect the acceleration but it should not confuse the automatic shifting. Been driving some more, think the problem is worse on the A8 cars, and when driving uphill ? Joergen

There was already a post about the same problem. No solution though, but at least I am not the only one seeing the problem ;-) Joergen

On Tue, 1 Feb 2000 00:46:05 +0100, "J Skantse" I think I had a similar problem at some point, so you are not alone. In my case I think the problem was due to having unchecked the single axis mode for the pedals (LWFF) in controller set-up (as I use in GPL) and then not setting up each pedal in the set up within RC2000. I definitely got rid of the problem initially by using the single axis option for the pedals but then left foot braking is not possible - mind you touching the brakes with the way they're modelled is not very useful for delicate car control!!!!> Roger
