reverse with the break pedal ???

[leb111]

Hi guys i searched the forum and didnt find my answer.

I got a logitech dfgt and i really hate to use triangle to reverse.

Is there a way ot change it so when the car reach 0 kmh it reverse ??

 

[grbmrdj]

Dude why would you do that? what if your trying to line up on the starting grid with your foot on the brake and your reverse into the car behind you? but anyway, no I'm pretty sure there isn't.

 

[Filthy]

Yes its a shame that you can't change it because the reverse on a wheel is so intrusive, a hopefull solution in a future patch would be for reverse to be selectable like a gear. What some people do on th dfgt is to use the gear stick as reverse and only use the paddle shifters for gears.

What car goes backwards with the brake pedal? That's just stupid.



Button marked R is reverse. Having a button to go backwards is not exactly new. Admittedly, you then press the throttle to go backwards, but the button press is still there.

AHAHA, best statement ever!

My truck doesn't have a "triangle button" in real world, and all cars go backward with brake pedal in NFS games.

...... seriously? *palm to face*

 

[altijdgriep]

I've assigned reverse to shifter forward and handbrake backward. Dfgt shifter is pretty useless anyway.

If you're using reverse, things have already gone badly. It happens occasionally, sure, but I'd rather keep reverse as a peripheral button than any other solution. I'm certainly glad my brake pedal doesn't magically turn into reverse! In any case, It's not GT's fault but the wheel manufacturers.

That's what PD should do. And to make the manoeuvre faster let us use paddles to go back to 1st gear.

You sir, are not worthy of owning GT5. Please do not swear on this forum. "NFS" should be added to the swear filter, plus instantly banning everyone that is using the word.

But, as I said in another thread scarily close to this one...

All of the officially supported GT wheels have paddles behind the wheel and/or a sequential lever. This, in effect, gives every car in GT a sequential gearbox.

No real life sequential gearbox can go from 1 to N to R. They all have a button or some kind of procedure to go into reverse. Admittedly, you then press the throttle to gain speed in reverse, but the button push is still required.

Your truck also doesn't have a huge TV in front of your face either. There are some things PD cannot replicate, and going down the box into reverse is something a sequential box does not do, so having reverse as a button is fine in my book.

And anyway, if you need to use reverse, you're doing it wrong.

Ideally it should be should be with the other gears seperated by neutral. e.g R,N,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Forza has it on the shifter but no neutral and this is a major pain as if you down shift 1 to many times you end up in reverse with no warning. Much better for R to be elsewhere than this. As mentioned above if you need to use R in a race you have a problem already and I would rather have R in a place that is hard to get to than to have it where I am likely to get it by mistake and take myself out of the race.

 

[CoolColJ]

I just map it to the stick - pushing forward, pull back is my handbrake 👍
Works really well after you get used to it, allows you to spin the wheel freely unlike holding the triangle down

This also allows you to drop down to first gear quickly, just shove it into reverse (will only engage at low speeds) and then hit gas to pop back into 1st gear

I played NFS on the PC if you ever tried "Porsche Unleashed" it wasn't a bad game. They had driving test where you had to use reverse and back the car through cones within a time period, you had to drive the car on a skid pad come to cones then back up. So not all NFS games were bad only the newer ones.

 

[Obli]

I'm surprised at some of the defensive answers here for what is a reasonable question. Mistakes happen and we need to reverse. When using a wheel, holding a button on the wheel while (possibly) needing to rotate it is a problem. Some suggestions are useful but it doesn't answer the following question.

Question for Kaz and the team: Why can't we select reverse gear by shifting down from neutral and then use the accelerator to reverse? It seems logical and realistic and should be simple to implement.

Agreed Porsche Unleased was a great game at the time. It is really a shame they did not continue down that road with the newer editions. btw in that game you had Reverse just below Neutral and the races always started you in Neutral so you had to shift to 1st at go or you would just be sitting there reving the engine while everyone else drives away

Assuming of course you were using a manual trans. In auto the R was on the brake and it shifted to 1st on the start for you.

Not all Need for Speed games use the break to reverse - Shift doesnt - you just downshift from neutral and it goes into reverse (like in a real car) and you press the throtle and backwards you go.

PD could do the same in this GT and if they wanted to make it more like a real racing car maybe we would have to press a botton to be able to go from neutral to reverse but still be able to use the throtle to go backwards (like in a F1 for example - where you have to press a botton to engage reverse)

In GT5 you cant even put the car on neutral

Ok thanks for the useless and good comments.

I think I will use the shifter since its much easier to find than a triangle somewhere on the wheel. As you can see, when you just crashed in a wall the wheel is not always at his "start position".

I was asking this question because I found that I was losing much more time on the grass with a wheel VS the controller. And as many other said, I play many many many car games and almost every game will go on reverse with the break pedal.

I should have bought a wheel with a clutch !

 

[leb111]

OH i didnt see the messages about " if you need to reverse your doing it wrong"....

Yeah right, I mean, you guys NEVER crash in a wall ! When your in a 20 laps FGT race and you miss the last corner you don't want to start searching for the *** triangle button.

 

[JackC8]

I really wish they had it as a gear, like in F1 2010. Downshift past neutral and into reverse. Triangle is just weird, like an arcade game.

 

[tribolik]

If you have the DFGT and you feel that reversing is a big deal to you - you can always map the horn button to reverse (unless you use it to signal your coming back to the track - but let me warn you that the AI is deaf)
The horn is in the center of the wheel and its a very large button - you really cant miss it and its always at his "start position".
Or you can use the break pedal and break with the triangle
Or you can use your head and figure it out yourself if your going to have that atitude towards people that reply to your thread

 

[lampadione]

He's right.
I use the triangle button for hazard lights. I painted it red so it feels even better.
In fact, isn't this supposed to be a Real Driving Simulator?
So:
triangle = hazards

And when I need to go backward, I simply rotate my playseat by 180° facing the wall not the TV.

I'm sorry if I broke your little heart, but if you read my post I began with a thanks to all the good answers.

You can lock the topic I got my answers thanks !

 

[r2nyGT5]

Why can't we have a reverse gear after shifting down from N? I found it weird to have to press a reverse button instead of having it's own gear like on a real car.
