yes.. thats right! .. you have to list too much.. and thats very difficult to drive.. just liftig a littl bit is only sometimes possible.. too much mistakes happen!

i also think so..
the ks1 needs a littl bit of adjustment.. and the sim must be getting better..

I have to disagree with oppolo: the current shifting of the ks1 is unrealistic both with and without shift help. Your point that it takes training is proof of this. I have missed maybe 3 upshifts in 5 years of racing real life shifter karts, and I would put those down to times when my shift linkage was coming out of adjustment. In KRP i have completed perhaps 3 laps out of hundreds where there was no problem with the upshift. I have given my real life karts to countless newbs with no experince to drive and though they dont know when to shift, when they want an upshift, it goes in! Shifter karts are very easy to shift in real life - easier than just about any other vehicle you could imagine! (except probably an F1 car).

I am using a G27 wheel with default settings- i dont know if there is some kind of button dwell setting or what that would fix this?

Sorry for the rant, but this bug completely ruins the sim for me, which just kills me because I really want to enjoy it!

there is no trick about g25 or g27

i haven't experience with real kart but i suppose that i can do gear up only when the engine is not pulling, isn't it?
and this is what happens in krp, only a little bit lift the gas and the gear goes up

here is another replay (goldenport) showing how quickly krp can gear up (i don't know about shift help because i never use any helps) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I2AW7TCU

anyway this is not real, is a game, and a game has compromises, in this case we can't pull the shift lever until the engine is pulling, if we pull the shift lever and then lift, the gear doesn't go up

damn.. you havn't got any experience with real shifter karts.. then don't talk.. i drive KZ2 a lot of years but i testet krp with and without idle help.. but without it isn't possible to shift up as an real kart.. it isn't possible because you have to lift too much and that sucks a little bit..!! und with the shift help the downshiftig isn't good.. if you are breaking the gear doesn't go down.. and in real karts you can shift down whenever you want and it goes very easy.. i really love this simulator .. it's fantastic.. not as the mod in rfactor.. that really sucks.. but i think the ks1 needs an update to shift better and the online mod must be getting better.. all other things are great.. the game doesn't need any new karts and body kits.. it just need a good online mod without lagging too much and then all other things can be upgreated!
