Automatic Gearbox won't stick
Hello.

I've set Real Automatic and assigned dpad-right to drive and dpad-left to rear but every time I press any of those buttons, gearbox won't stick... I have to keep the key pressed or it will go back into neutral.

I'm playing with a XBOX 360 Controller but ETS2 says I'm using Keyboard + XInput 1 and XBOX 360 as secondary. I also tried deleting all of the config and .sii files in global and user profile, nothing worked.

XInput and 360 are the same and they might be cancelling each other out. Remove the 360.

You're my man, thanks!
I could swear I set it up with "drive" and "Reverse" last time I had it working but it's not important now, problem solved, you made my day :) :freebeer:

Thanks a lot ! I just had the same issue after reinstalling ets2 on a new computer.
