Tried just now, and it has reverse. But. Only with auto gears, and once it goes into reverse it then won't select any forward gears
tried withor without auto clutch, and only difference is that it stalls the engine without.
Think mine works with manual Matt  Huh

I pursued a "steady drive" policy, trying to be consistent and not go off - cos these can go a very long way off on this track - and it paid off with one of my better results, a good one, thanks.  I can confirm, by the way, my Chapparal does have reverse in manual mode; I fpund that out plenty of times while practicing!  Only when I go to Neutral with an assigned button first though, then use the paddle, and the same to go back to 1st.

Erling : regarding your post
"Huggy: Glad you made it this time.  Did notice your car lagging badly, especially late in the race. Wondering if it may have played a part in your problem in the Boss Mustang race, whatever the reason might be.  Your nationality doesn't suggest it, but are you geographically far from the server ?   Or could it perhaps be someone else in the household hogging all the bandwidth ?"


Not far from a server as these things go, but even with a decent ISP (PlusNet) the fibre round here is not as fast as it might be, but it's the first mention I've had of any lag, which of course I didn't notice. No one else home at the time either! Any suggestions?

Disapointing race for me, got a puncture on lap 1 (never had a puncture in GTL) took me a whole lap to realise what was wrong with car then another lap to crawl back to pits (greyed out wheel in xd) rest of race lonely at back apart from when being lapped.

Great mod Jeep the Chaparral 3G was a joy to drive.

Grats to Ziu on win

Hi Matt
I've not found any issues with reverse on any of the Can Am cars but I have had problems in the past (With even default GTL cars).

Not sure what type of shifting you use? (Shifter, paddles,buttons).

I used to have a problem where the last gear was always selected and sometimes it would not recognise reverse. The solution for me was to change the "plr" file. "Gear Select Button Hold" from 0 ->1. Not sure if this helps. I guess it only applies to shifter setups.

Also I have accidentally assigned reverse to a different function when I have forgotten to put the stick in neutral when adding an assignment.

Thanks Guys
I can't get neutral either, so that may be part of the issue. This machine is not the one
I race on mostly, so the setup is different, like it doesn't have a working XB even though the files are there
I will play with it later.

Really enjoyed last nights race, despite being the last over the line - someone has to  Cheesy

I adopted a cautious start from the back of the grid which appeared to pay off as within seconds I could see on the horizon at least one car veer violently first to the left armco and then straight across the track to the right in a cloud of smoke, with everyone else losing time and positions avoiding the mayhem. I haven't checked the stats yet, but within a few corners I'd gained 4 places. Knowing that quali times were a true indication of pace, I was thereafter checking my rear mirror for the usual suspects to regain their ground and retake me, which they did.

Although these cars are a real handful, they are a fantastic challenge to keep the traction in check and I agree with earlier comments about this series having the potential to be one of the best for a number of years.

A succession of driving errors made sure I wasn't going to challenge anyone else and for the last 4 laps I ran with a blown front left, leaving a long tyre mark and smoke to go with it, but near zero control. But I did achieve my aim of finishing the race.

Grats to Ziu and all those who crossed the finishing line  clap

Matt: I ran my usual setup of manual gear with auto clutch.  Going into reverse, I first have to shift into neutral, via assigned button, and then click my downshift paddle. To move forward again, I must then switch to neutral via the same button, and then click the upshift paddle.  If you couldn't select neutral, that's probably the explanation.

Huggy: I have heard of wireless or sattelite internet connections having a delay that might affect gaming, but you mention fiber.  Thus at a loss to explain why you should lag - the data amounts sent by this more than 10 years old game should be modest by any standards, so I can't believe it would max out even a slow fiber connection.

Cheers,
Erling

The only question without answer is........what could happened if Geoffers drove McLaren M6............?  It was possible that i not could rest during the race.

No idea Ziu, the larger engined Lola I drove was the only car I tried. Rather than spend a little time on each car I decided just to concentrate on one, although from others posts it seems that the smaller Chevy powered Lola is quicker!  Roll Eyes

Start of the race was a disaster, I had 4 collisions before the first corner! Firstly Erling bogged down & I rear-ended him, then someone hit me from behind, almost got straightened up when a car passing on the right clipped me & sent me off onto the grass. Car didn't spin but shot back across the track, got it sorted & was heading trackwards when another car slammed into the back of me! helpsmilie I expected the car to now be undriveable but it actually worked quite well afterwards.

The damage definitely slowed the car on the straights though & I was only able to lap in the 2.13-2.14 range, as opposed to the regular 2.11s I was doing in practice. Still after all that I was more than happy to finish 4th. Will have to be a bit better prepared for the next CanAm race, still they are great fun to drive.  Grin

Congrats to the podium.  clap clap clap
