"As promised and requested"
First Patch
We included Manual Gear Mode but also left Automatic Gear Mode in game. So its now for you to decide which one do you prefer.
You switch between Gear Modes by pressing keyboard key 'G'.
When you use Manual Mode - you switch gears with 'R' and 'F'
Expect another patch in couple of days.
Patch 2 will include 'Freeride' Mode.
In 'Freeride' - all maps are unlocked and hunger/car damage/fuel will be disabled so you can roam freely and try to climb that mountains at the horizon - without worrying you run out of resources or trash your car.
