Thanks alot to AndroidXP!

After doing 10 laps without changing gears by itself once it's save to say the problem is indeed caused by the shift buttons on my wheel.

Now lets see if my I can convince my wife I really need the G25 because this one's 'broken'...

As far as I'm concearned, problem solved, this thread is to be considered closed.

Quote from AndroidXP :

I'm pretty sure this is not a problem with LFS but with your wheel. It's probably the paddle buttons getting worn out and sending random shift commands. For example the MS Sidewinder FF wheel was notorious to start double-shifting after a while; I suspect something similar is happening with your wheel. If the "gearshift debounce" setting doesn't fix it, I fear you're out of luck.

After reading the above I changed the shifting buttons. And that seems to have solved it. Need to do some more laps as the gear changes didn't happen all too often, but things seem to be okay. Will do a couple more laps tonight if I can find the time to make sure.

For Denthul here's a scheenshot of the Driver menu in LFS:

Hi all,

Found out the replay links dont work, fixed that. Please have a look at them.

I also checked if setting my controllers axis from separate to combined would solve the problem, but sadly it doesnt. The downshifts still happen.

If nobody has a clue on how to fix this I'll reinstall Windows and install the latest drivers for my wheel as a last resort.

(btw, I'll ask the mods to move this thread to the Technical Assistance section...)

Quote from Denthul :

In those menus, is Auto Gearshift on or off? Because I can only get the cars to do that if I'm using automatic shifting.

Ofcourse I know the car will shift down by itself when selecting automatic shifting. But that's not my case. I have it set to sequential as mentioned twice before.

In the previous replay I had Debounce set to 80ms (default= 40ms) to see if that might help me. It doesn't, as the sudden gearchanges also occur when I set Debounce to 20ms, as shown in the following replay:

(Right after leaving the 4th hard corner, entering the "hammerhead" at 40 secs...)

There seems to be some misunderstanding of the problems I'm having.

First of all, my settings (that might be relevant):
[Driver menu]
- Brake help: No
- Gear shift mode: Sequential
- Autoclutch: Yes
[Controls menu]
- Throttle / brake axis: Separate
- Gear shift mode: Sequential
- Clutch: Button
- Handbrake: Button
- Button Control rate: 4.00
- Thtl / Brk centre reduction: 0.00

My controller:
- Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP (no clutch)

My problem:
- The car (or at least the GTR class) shifts down 1 gear halfway through hard corners. So lets say I'm doing a hard corner in 2nd gear; the car sometimes shifts down to 1st gear all over sudden without me touching the gears. By keeping the revs up as much as I can though corners, I can keep it from shifting down by itself.

I saved a replay to show my problem. Take notice of the gears as I leave the 2nd hard corner at 26 secs.

Hi all,

I'm having kind of a strange problem. Halfway through a hard corner, pacing along at -say- the lower ranges of the 2nd gear, the car suddenly shifts back to 1st gear sometimes. Same happens in 3rd gear, changing to 2nd without me initiating the gear change. This only happens if my foot is off the gass pedal (or at least not stepping on it). As long as I keep my foot gently on the pedal revving at around halfway the scale, there's no problem.

This happens with at least the GTR class cars. As I don't drive the others alot I dont know if all cars behave like this.

I set the gears to sequential and I use a Logitech Formula Force GP wheel. I installed the X Patch, that had been updated to Y and then bought the S2 licence to unlock everything.

Is this normal behaviour or do I have to check up on some settings?
