Why the first time I enter the track OSP isn’t triggered when gear 4 and beyond are engaged?

Almost all major racing game include the max forward gears value but some don’t so read this to understand what’s going on when the telemetry value is not provided by the game:

1) OSP by default start with gear 2 and don’t use the last gear (you can change this in setup)
2) OSP by default use the MAX FORWARD GEARS AT STARTUP  info to determine the max forward gears of current car (almost all simulations API does not provide this info)
3) At startup OSP works only with gear 2 and 3, excepted if you change the MAX FORWARD GEARS AT STARTUP in your setup because the simulation API doesn’t give us the number of gears of current car

Conclusion, if you want to have an OSP up and ready at startup, you have two choices:
1) you drive only ONE type of car so you can change MAX FORWARD GEARS AT STARTUP with a fixed value (i.e. using always F1 cars = 7 )
2) you drive more than one type of car (i.e. GT and F1 ), so when you go on the track engage all gears before leaving the stand
