[Santo Antony Kalleri]

simple as that, cant shift gear. am using thrustmaster t300 rs gt with th8a shifter. i can assign the controls through shifter, but its not working ingame. that means i cant drive the car. am just sitting there as a duck. any help greatly appreciated, thanks

Have you set the ingame setting to
Manual H pattern or Manual H pattern with clutch . ?

[Santo Antony Kalleri]

yes, a bunch of times , and restarted the game just in case, still doesnt work.

On pc TH8A has to connected to pc straight with ubs,

(for some reason only on consoles shifter is supported through wheelbase in both modes+handbrake-mode, only sequential mode works through the wheelbase on pc but not h-pattern mode and idk about handbrake-mode)

But if u have shifter connected to pc via usb and it's still not working then:
- try another usb port, maybe 2.0-port if u have one of those (or usb 3.0 port if it's in a 2.0-por,t or just another usb port), most likely issues isn't here
- check drivers for shifter

Everything else seems to be fine
- u can see shifter as an input device in game and u have entered it and assigned gears for shifter,
- u have selected transmission-type to Manual H-pattern or Manual H-pattern with clutch (no sequential) forcing all cars to use H-pattern

What car were u driving? DI u test multiple cars with h-pattern like H1 fwd Lancia Fulvia, and a sequential like all all R2's, all R5's etc

Test all the cars in time trial just to se h-pattern works in some.

Verify game files if nothing seems to help and all settings etc are set correctly.

edit: do you have a clutch pedal? if not u have to use Manual H-pattern mode (the one without clutch).

Can u get first gear on? or are missing the gears and u have clutch-pedal then put clutch saturation down to 50% so u miss less gears (then clutch pedal only needs to be pressed halfway and u can move stick, on 100% saturation clutch has to fully pressed before u can move stick which leads many misses).

thanks buddy, its solved. i knew i was doing something stupid. the thing is i was using sequential gear in a H pattern car. i didnt know it needed to be H pattren shifter if am driving an H pattern car, cause before this i was playing Beamng. In Beamng you dont need to swap out gear shifter, anything was ok. thanks for all the help guys.

Well u can force all cars to be with H-pattern if u want so. U just need select only H-pattern-mode to that option-> assists-> type of transmission (without sequential-mode option).

Or if u select Manual H-pattern with/without clutch and Manual Sequential game will then use paddle shifters for sequential cars (disables h-pattern in those car), modern rally cars have been sequential (stick/paddles) since late 1990s.
