Description

When in low 2 (in a automatic) in just about ever real life car that i have been into still shifts from 1st to 2nd gear but doesn't shift past 2nd gear. in the game it is set to where if you shift into low 2 its already into 2nd gear regardless of if your stopped or moving slow enough to be in 1st gear. This issue only gets amplified from the RPM not dropping down fast enough and if you switch to low 2 it will lurch the car. if you want second gear from launch then switch to a sequential shift.

It's not the same as if having a manual transmission and having it in second gear from the start. This might be hard to do in a game considering how the game is built (as with most racing/driving games that simulate a automatic transmission using a automatic manual method).
It would be nice to have automatic mode to accurately simulate a automatic transmission then having it a automatic manual but i can understand the implications of trying to implement such a thing in the game.

This is because RoR's engine code is very outdated and the "Automatic" shift is really just an automatic manual gearbox. Unfortunately nothing can be done until the whole engine code is redone.
