Gearbox problems
I'm having an issue where the automatic gearbox isn't working properly. For example, I'm in 5th gear and turn left at high speed. The rpm meter drops below 5000 (which is of course fine), but when I start accelerating again, the gearbox shifts gear at 5000rpm (and not 9000). After a few seconds I'm in 7th gear and the car just won't accelerate anymore, making it impossible to win a race. The only way to make the car accelerate again is if you have some nitrous or a turbo boost. Also, if I use a turbo boost at that point and get to high speeds, the car starts slowing down. The gearbox works fine on straights though. I tried reinstalling (both CD and download) and I'm still having the problem.
Any ideas? (I spent 45€ on this game and really don't want to throw it away.)
