throttle not working?

baron12 · Oct 3, 2014

so i didn't play AC for some time now (it worked fine when i last tried). throttle doesn't seem to respond when I am in the car, if I press clutch RPM will rise, I can also change gears, but no response from throttle. Also it works normally in g27 profiler, and also in the game settings it responds perfectly whether I invert it or not, but in the car nothing. any help?

Could be a cutch setting problem. If the clutch is set up but inverted so its always on it would cause the problem you describe. If you don't have a clutch just unbind it and see if that works.

i have the clutch, and it looks normal in options > controls... also everything works fine in other games. I didn't change anything since I last played so I really have no clue what could be wrong suddenly.

Have you considered just setting your wheel and pedals up from scatch ingame. Takes 5 minutes.

AC has dropped settings on me before. I thought I'd everything set up but I didn't invert the clutch so it worked backwards.

I just had the same issue, except restarting didn't work for me. All the controls were perfect and the axis were all normal. All I did to fix it was switch map and cars, very weird fix. I see you fixed your issue, but I am just throwing this out there if someone has the same issue as me and is stuck!

seems like is a common issue in servers, if you got this problem and everything else is working fine, then is not your game it's just the server car.

ok this was weird, all i needed to do was to reset computer, but then the settings in AC were all wrong (combined axis were set, throttle was half pressed even if i didn't touch it etc...) but those were easy to fix then, and yeah i only needed to reset.
