Auto Clutch On / Off different ??

The engine is not able to be stalled right now, maybe it will later but who knows. I do believe there is a time penalty using auto clutch in an H-pattern car such as the E30. This "penalty" is probably a few tenths of a second compared to somebody that knows what they are doing with a clutch and H-pattern; of coarse if they mis-time one shift it will cost them plenty more than a few tenths and that will never happen using auto-clutch. Aris told me back when we got the Tech Preview that using auto-clutch and sequential was maybe three tenths of a second a lap slower than correctly using clutch and H-pattern......Once mechanical damage is implemented the penalty for missing shifts will be even more severe than the few tenths of lost time.

And yes, auto-clutch is engaged for people with no H-pattern shifter in cars that use it even in pro settings mode. There is no time penalty for using sequential shifter in cars that have semi-auto gearboxes modeled aka Ferrari F458, Mclaren, etc.

 

I think even though we are able to shift with auto clutch off, it will cause mechanical damage when it is implemented

 

Even though if player lift throttle ?? So Auto clutch should always ON for anyone who has no clutch & H shifter ??

 

Even on pro mode settings auto clutch will be enabled automatically for anyone who has no clutch and H pattern on cars that are appropriate to H pattern.

Blipping the throttle on downshifts is not automatically turned on....

 

By the way which one is the option to check the top time track vs car combo in the game ?? My best time is merely 2:01.985 for BMW M3 E30 vs New Monza, like to know how many seconds i fall behind compare to the top one.

 

Ic. So there is no shame to leave it ON for my case ya. Good then

 

You have no clutch, no H-pattern, no shame for it to be on at all.

 

By the way how come no setup request / sharing thread in this forum ?? Like i say i doing a slow 2:01.9xx BMW M3 E30 vs new Monza atm and i like to request for a nice setup to save me sometime, i have to admit though i dont mind to play difficult physic racing game but i always lazy & hate to do setup for any game, even arcade one.

 

I hope this will change, when you put auto-clutch off, it should not auto-clutch, period.

 

Im glad to hear that cars can stall.. lol
Doesn't happen with a gamepad, so I just assumed it didn't happen.

 

They do stall, but start automatically as soon as you hold the clutch down

 

im my experience, when stall happens, I have to brake to stop the car or close to stop, then cluthch open then gas to start the car again. can be annoying when I spun on drifting. but I like the added realism

 

Ahh kk, so no engine start button?
Well I suppose that works, quick of way getting going while still simulating a stall.

 

I think you're right, maybe I missed this.

No engine start button yet in fact, but I think it's still to be implemented in the future.

 

Cool, thatll be neat. Still, im glad you can stall, I wanna teach my girlfriend to drive standard using AC and not my real car xD

 

Haha, safe choice.

 

I find it weired that with my G27 I can push and pull the shifter without needing to press the clutch pedal, (autoclutch off). Occasionally I create an angry noise by doing so if I had the gas pedal pressed while shifting. But the clutch pedal currently is not needed for shifting. Okay, it is over twenty years since I drove a car in real life, but I still recall that the clutch pedal was there for a reason. Uncomplete implementation of this feature?

I agree with those wanting a separate engine-start button, mappable to the hardware. You should be worried about not killing yourt engine when spinning of the track or breaking hard and almost top a standstill. Like in RBR, if you killed the engine, you lost much time with reengaging it. Good opportunity to show off with your repertoire of on-the-ready curses.

 

You can shift without the clutch pedal irl as well, if you do it right. Cars with dog boxes (normally race cars) actually don't need the clutch at all to shift, you just need to lift the throttle for upshifts and to blip for downshifts. Cars with a synchromesh don't need the clutch either, but it's much harder to get the syncing just right without it.

 

At least in the E30 you shouldn't be able to shift without a clutch that easy.

 

Ah, I did not know that. Nice.
