Starting Gear (BETA)

v7 beta documentation in progress. v7 beta documentation may be incomplete or inaccurate.
v7 functions and features may be significantly different from previous ACS versions.
These instructions are not valid for current v6+ ACS!


StartingGear is a variable at the top of your Root Settings. The setting defines your default gear assignment when first sitting on/starting up the vehicle. Normally it is set to 1, first gear.

If you set up first gear as an ultra-low barely crawling speed for special occasions, you may want to set the starting gear to 2nd. AutoDropToFirst will also return you to your starting gear.

Note that in order to shift to reverse, a starting gear higher than first means one extra gear to down-shift past in normal use.

integer         StartingGear=       1;
