    [BUG] Sometimes dosnt change gear

    IDK if its only for LaFerrari or is it for every car or is it only for me but when i get to 5th gear(im using automatic not manual) and then go in a corner and slide everything is fine but when i come out of the corner it is still in 5th gear then i need to let go the... throttle??? the thing that makes the car go forward... and press it again and it drops down to 3rd gear and everything is fine... if need i can make a video but it is random in a way that it dosnt always happen but when it does its realy anoying because it actualy slows u down...

    I wouldn't call it a bug myself, more like a case of poor design. That happens to all cars, and that's not the only issue with AT in this game.

    Using nitro on heavy wheelspin conditions - mainly on ice, but also happens to some cars on-road like a Circ 3400K or the Perf CTR3 from the Xfinity challenge - can cause premature upshifts.

    Either you learn to deal with it, or you take up Manual. The latter is the better option for your racing performance, but can take a while to get used to, especially durring off-road spec races.

    As I can understand DJ20K talks about unnecessary DOWNshifting. But downshifting works mostly fine...

    On the contrary, LaFerrari often hangs on the 7-th gear despite a very low torque. Even when you release the gas.

    Theres also the 'Shift a gear up when you jump'. Annoying. Basicly, when I hold down gas and do a bit longer jump, car always shifts gear up. Which is never what I want.

    I can't remember which car it was but it was notorious for what OP describes, always stuck in 6th, 7th gear, even when I was going 100 km/h after a corner/slide.

    Also, half gas doesn't work like it works on real cars. Volvo at least. The rev doesnt go to 8000 RPM before shifting to 2nd. RL automatic shifts down a gear or two when accelerating but only when you step fully on the gas.


    All are coding issues.

    That's why I want a semi-auto mode where shift keys still work so that you can manually shift down in these situations.
