    At present there is unfortunately an issue where if you are using the horn (LS) the reverser can sometimes slide to off or neutral applying the emergency brakes if the stick isn't kept completely away from the deadzone (which also appears to not be adjustable in settings).

    If the reverser was changed to (LB+LS) it would mean this would no longer be possible.

    This change would also allow high (LS up) and low (LS down) tones to the horn.

    Please consider this change as it would make a huge positive impact to QOL on Xbox and PlayStation.

    I can safely say I've never had the issue here as reverser is set to up and down on the d-pad for me

    No, never had that problem either. Works fine the way it is. Honestly don't see the problem, how are you even getting close to the reverser when using the horn?

    I use an X-Box controller and have never once experienced this as the reverser is set to the D-Pad.

    It sounds like the OP is using the classic controller scheme where the reverser is on the left stick and not on the d-pad like in the immersion controller scheme that most players use.

    This was exactly the first thing I was thinking about, when I read the OP. So time to change to the immersion controller scheme or taking the risk hitting the reverser to neutral or off.

    I only have this issue when using the HUD that shows your timetable, but that's on me as it's binded to the same thing and only happens if I forget to go into camera mode on an external camera.

    May be worth checking your sensitivity settings, OP, or using immersion controls.

    Exactly this. I feel the classic controller scheme is much better for allowing different views externally also.
