    Hi

    might be a very stupid question, but I found absolutely nothing on this:
    When a car is beached, e.g. on a high curb, rF2 tells me to "use throttle and gear direction to push" ... erm... and how do I do this? I tried everything, from holding the upshift pushed, etc... nothing.

    Thanks

    press the throttle and upshift. IF you are truly beached on a curb, there might not be enuf motion to get you moving again. Try it on a flat piece of track or infield. with the power on but no engine started, press the throttle and engage 1st gear. See if that works.

    There is only a predefined force the invisible marshals can push with, so it's possible you were too stuck to move.

    Thanks, but this did not work, even on a flat track, or does this only work when the message appears, or does it depend on the car? I tried with the Bentley...

    I think it only works when you see the message. It usually happens when you're against an object, although it may be that mods with a 'pit crew push' force defined will allow you to switch the car off in pitlane and get a push there. I'm not sure if having neither the marshal nor pitcrew force defined will stop it working at all.
