disable auto reverse

[Kahstrol]

auto reverse, i see other people complain about it and they claim to be on steering wheel or controller. im on keyboard and mouse, and i find this feature very annoying. it has single-handedly guzzled multiple hours worth of work by reversing off a cliff when i just want to brake. ive looked into it and ive seen alot of people complain about it, but clearly it is none of the devs current concerns. while youre at it, id be more than happy if there was a fully manual mode available for keyboard and mouse so i can manually switch between gears. other than these inconveniences, great game, im new and already have ranked up like 35 hours (10 of which was recovering from auto-reverse's doings).

The limited and uncontrolable gears is purely a gameplay choice. As for auto reverse, you're going to learn soon enough that using the auto gear will just give you problems. Haven't used it in a very long while, it's only low, high and pure reverse

They don't even care enough to put up a message in here that says "Stop asking us to disable auto reverse; it won't ever happen."

I don't disagree, but it's not likely to change at this point. I ended up using joy2key and my shifter. And I almost never use auto because it sucks a** on almost all surfaces. lol

I just have habbit to use Low+ on such areas, I even mapped them to keyboard - Low+ - Numpad 7 Low - Numpad 4, Low- Numpad 1, Reverse - Numpad 2, Auto - 5 , and Hi to 8. Easy to remember and Low+ does not auto reverse.

At 35 hours, you're still in the process of getting acquainted with the basics. If you're doing delicate maneuvers (driving by a cliffside is definitely a delicate one), you really shouldn't be using Automatic at all.

Another reason not to use Automatic, is that it's very bad for fuel efficiency. You don't really want to use Automatic unless you're doing multi-point turns in safe places where you're not in danger of wrecking, or unless you are using any gearbox that isn't a highway gearbox and you want to go faster at the expense of burning more fuel than normal.

I do touchpad (I don't use mice) and keyboard as well, and this isn't an issue with how the game was set up. It's an issue with your driving habits.
