Can't use manual gear shifter with G920

[Bill (t.tv/thebillbo)]

I'm pretty sure I've assigned the correct keys in-game but I seem unable to manually change gears, is there something I'm missing as to what's going on?

I believe for g920 you need to have GHUB running in the background. Also, you mention you've assigned the correct "keys" but you actually need to assign your shifter gears too. Would help if you have content manager.

I have gHub in the background, I did assign keys in the shifter, what is content manager?

it's a 3rd party launcher for AC and it's pretty amazing. Gives so many more options. Anyone who plays AC should be using CM imo. Download it now, put the file in your AC root directory and install it, it will automatically sync with your AC and steam, so you can just launch AC from it without having to boot up AC any more so it's faster.

Once it's installed, go to CM > settings > controls, and make sure control device is set to wheel, then assign all your controls from scratch, gas, brakes, clutch, gears, will take a couple minutes. Then make sure your gears and pedals are showing working in CM controls, then start a race (make sure it's a manual car) and try your gear shifter again.

Also make sure in you have "Use H-shifter" ticked too in CM > settings > controls > Buttons.

Another benefit of using CM is you can just drag and drop mods in to it to install them, super simple. Except for the odd mods that require manual installation like SOL.

... also double check what type the car actually is, some cars can look H-pattern stick, but are sequential which is moved by paddles. It should be in car tags before you drive. Or just try both methods.
