Description

Game Version number: 1.4.0.45
Modded?: No

Issue Description: Previously, I believe on update 1.2.x, vehicles held their position when placed in reverse gear on a downhill slope, effectively acting as if a brake was applied (as it is in real life). On the following updates ,1.3 and 1.4 , vehicles now roll downhill even when in reverse gear. Engine on and first gear uphill works, but the moment you turn off the engine it acts as if it was on neutral.

(How it should be) Manual & Automatic Transmission Cars :

-With the handbrake released;
  -Reverse gear resists downhill movement — similar to first gear uphill. On the contrary, reverse while on a uphill or first gear on a dowhill results in the car moving;
  -If the gear is on neutral, the car should roll freely.

In game, as of now, only engine on first gear uphill works.

Severity: Minor
Resolution: Open
Reproducibility: Always
Operating System: Windows 11 x64
Operating System Version: 23H2
Category: General

Steps To Reproduce

1- Spawn any standard wheeled vehicle
2- Position it on a moderate incline facing down.
3- Release handbrake, engage reverse gear and click W.
4- Observe vehicle behavior.

Observed Behavior: Vehicle begins rolling downhill despite being in reverse gear, gear status appears to have no effect.
Expected Behavior: Vehicle should remain stationary when placed in reverse gear on a downhill, whether engine is on or off.

Additional Information

Occurs with engine both on and off. It acts as like it was on neutral.

Check older versions (1.2.x I believe), I remember it worked back then for I was amazed at the driving physics in the game.

Sure it doesn't need to be like real life where a real steep slope would require more than a gear engaged to stop the car, but it was more realistic (and fun) before than what it is now.
