Don't know if this is a bug, but everytime i send someone a setup my gear shifts up automatically.

This is a problem when i do this at the start of a race, because i get penalties for starting to early.

Not sure its a bug, maybe there is something wrong with my controls

Do you use mouse and is your left mouse button bound to change up gear?

no, im using a wheel (logitech momo)

Even if you are using wheel lfs still picks up your mouse buttons.Your mouse button will still be bound to shift up, click on mouse/keyboard in options\controls and change it to something else.

thanks for the help, it was my mouse button
