    For example change some files to get something nice spawned instead of the same white pick up, or change deafult license plate?

    I believe you can set a different default spawn with the new Garage feature.

    Yes you can.
    Use the GARAGE or press the 'Set as default' button in OPTIONS > GAMEPLAY, and the current vehicle you use will be the default one.

    It is still like before.
    If you press A or B on the controller, it will switch to the manual tranmission.

    My bad, should have checked before.
    It changed indeed.

    I will ask around and see what can be done.

    But you can also assign the Q button to the controller if you want:

    Could you maybe bring this option back? It was something so simple and so useful that I actually think it was the most used feature of the game. Wanted an arcade system? Just drive. Wanted to change gears? Just change gears. I really want it back :'(

    The change was motivated because many users that discover beamng and try it for the first time, inadvertently shift gears while trying to figure out the controls, which means the car won't always move if you simply press throttle afterwards.

    I reverted back to the previous behaviour (manually needing to change the shifting mode) for the time being to prevent frustration in those cases. H-shifter users still have the smart shifting mode changer.

    Next version will try yet another different approach for this, we'll see how it works :)

    LIke double pressing the gear up button? That would prevent new users from accidentally changing it to manual (When I try out new game I always press each button only once and see what happens) and would still be very easy for more experienced users to change it

    Still undecided. Probably it'll just remember your preferred choice, but we'll see.

    Or just make an option for this in the settings menu. :) I really like that feature. I'll be glad when it's back!
