Neutral to 1st Gear

[fmora]

Hey Everyone,

I'm new to VDrift and the linux world; I just installed Ubuntu and VDrift. I have a question about auto shifting. I have it enabled but I noticed it doesn't shift from neutral to 1st gear; is this by design? or is there a way to enable this feature? I have my boys playing and it would be easier for them to press the gas button to accelerate at the beginning of the race. Also, is there a way to bind a key to make the car go in reverse? Instead of down shifting to reverse and then hitting the gas is there a way to bind this to one key? Keep up the great work!

Thanks!
