Automatic Shifting Problem

Hello everyone,

Does anyone else have the problem of certain cars being completely unplayable if you have it set to automatic shifting? The main one that comes to mind is the Horizon Edition Viper. The game does not auto shift its gears within anywhere close to the speed it needs. So the car just constantly spins out. I’ve played a lot of Forza games and have never had a problem like this. Anyone know of a way to fix this problem, maybe through tuning or something?

Learn to use manual, or even better, manual with clutch.

It’s not as hard as you might think, and will become second nature in no time.

You’ll get better car control, improved shift time, and faster laps for your effort. There’s a reason most proper sports cars are not automatic IRL.

Best of luck!

I have been practicing with manual and I’m fine using it in actual races. I do prefer automatic for free roam stuff though. I discovered that switching the Viper’s stock transmission parts to race parts seems to have helped out a bit. It’s not perfect but much better than it was. Thanks for the reply.
