Is that easy to change without clutch url?

I was wondering if is that easy to Don't use clutch in real life with synchronized gear box. I''ve tried a couple of times with my first car (a cords gsi) and it was possible only in a narrow range and while going particularly slow. I've never driven a car with dogbox engagement but as far as I know, it was easy and effective to change gear without using the clutch. I remember Lauda said that in the 70's they used clutch only to start and when they had problems on the gearbox, otherwise they tried to minimize clutch usage in order to avoid failures. But how about modern road cars? In AC they seems to have a motorbike gearbox.. for sure we don't have feedback on the lever, so calibrate moving speed could.be difficult..

Edit obviously I was talking about cars with h pattern gearbox

If you get the timing right then yes it can be that easy in R/L, but get it wrong and you are looking at an expensive repair bill. I trained as an HGV driver when double de-clutch was necessary to change up and down gears (crash boxes a long time ago). Getting the timing right (matching drive axle speed, with engine revs and gear) was essential or it just wouldn't go into gear. Same applies to syncro boxes without using the clutch.
You are right that you don't get the "feeling" on your gaming shifter, but in AC you do hear a crunching noise if you get it wrong. I believe Kunos will eventually introduce gearbox failures in game if you continually 'crash' the box.
I like driving the H-box cars but heal/toeing is difficult for me, so I tend to brake with my left foot and blip the throttle when changing down gears to avoid crashing. I don't always get it right but I'm getting better When Kunos does introduce the failures we'll see how good or bad I really am

 

McGraw, I was an HGV driver too, drove for supermarkets in the UK mostly!
On motorcycles and in cars with H pattern boxes, and trucks with full syncromesh H 4 over 4 boxes, I've always preferred clutch-less up-shifts and clutched down-shifts. I've always preferred clutching to change down, I find it quicker and it's easy to use the vehicle's revs to engine brake, I've always disliked changing down without the clutch, even though about 15 years ago or so I used to drive those double d or crash boxes everyday I found it cumbersome and annoying.

I agree with the above posts, I think you'd ideally need a FFB gear shifter so you can feel the cogs mesh and give you a horrible grinding sensation if you get it wrong! Actually for some hardware designer it wouldn't be that hard to design if Assetto could get the code right too.

 

If you have an FFB joystick, there's http://sourceforge.net/projects/j2hshifter/ to use as a shifter (actually it'll work without FFB, but you need to modify the joystick to remove springs & put in an H plate so it will stay in gear)
Don't think I've heard of a game supporting that mode directly though, that just simulates key presses each time you put it in gear so it can be mapped to the usual H-pattern controls.


I haven't had AC miss a gear yet, but clutch engagement is not really giving me any feeling either. It's fine most of the time but I have to focus on a few corners to downshift smoothly enough. Dunno what the cheapest form of tactile feedback for that would be.
