Using clutch + paddle shifters

So I'll be getting the t500rs delivered very soon. However it doens't have H-shifter, so I wont be able to use proper manual gear shifting, but it does have the clutch pedal, so I've been thinking.

Is it possible to bypass this problem, so that I'd use the clutch, just as I would with the H shifter, but than instead of actually using a stick, I'd use the paddles to move through the gears.

In other words, will not having an H-shifter set up in AC settings, and disabling auto-clutch enable proper clutch simulation?

 

You can use the clutch exactly as though you have the H shifter. Just received my T500RS

 

so, if you drive the f40, and press the paddle shifter without the clutch it wont shift?

 

Yes, it will. If it's a downshift you might kill the gearbox tho.

 

If you can afford a T500 you can afford the TH8RS to go with it...

 

Meh, I mount my wheel to the desk when I play, than put it away. The t500 itself was borderline extreme for that, but I decided to still get it. Having a th8 seems reeeaaly over the top...

I might consider it at some point later in time, but for now the t500 will do....--

 

Make sure you have a stable table, that sucker will rock that thing all over the room and your monitor will walk away with its tail between its legs.

I got the wheel without the shifter, but it didnt take long after I learned to heel'n'toe and stuff that I had to get it... and its worth every over the top penny.

 

Aye, having a good shifter and driving H gate cars properly is 70% of the fun. The thought of paddle shifting an H gate car make me throw up a little

 

I didn't get the TH8RS because the stick sits too high to be practical when desk mounted, and I have nothing else to attach it to at the moment

 

H pattern is also significant faster. 0.3 a lap generally

 

I also have the t500 without H shifter. Using manual clutch is impossible unless u have an H shifter selected in the controle setting. U can still use the clutch but the game will apply auto clutch at the same time. So for drifting its good but not for racing.

Auto clutch is off when u cant shift with paddles in an H shifter car. If u can then auto clutch is on even when u turn it off in the assists settings.

^ ahh thats whats going on when i had auto clutch off and tried driving cars with clutches using my csr pedals with the dfgt paddle shifters and wondering why i could shift wo the clutch at all even with auto turned off.

well bugger.

 

The worst thing is that people with H shifter have an slight advantages with H shifter cars because they can up and down shift without using the clutch. Kunos should force using the clutch when h shifter is being used to take away the advantage.

I had a buddy he could do that in his car, but his whole transmission was 3/4 shot lol.

 

I didn't wanted to start a new thread so I will ask here if I can.
I would like to know how to correctly use clutch and or throttle let off in cars with automatic transmissions (up-shifts) and what is better for which car especially.
I found some drivers let off the throttle very quickly while up-shifting and some hit the clutch very quickly while keeping the accelerator fully pressed.
I know there are many techniques, like for example double clutch (downshifting with manual) and using clutch and throttle can vary at the same car with a different driver, but some collected info about what cars like the most would be great.
I mean for example with which car I can up-shift with full throttle and use only throttle blip during the down-shifting (clutch only for start) and where is better to release throttle a bit or hit a clutch quickly (speaking all the time about paddle shifters) I am kind of a new into "paddling" cause I somehow hated it but adapting quickly
I like the H-shifter so much that I used to use it even with automatic transmission cars (probably because of usually poor clutch and gearbox modelling). For example using H-shifter in Zonda (another sims) makes me faster and more happy myself behind the wheel. I know it's not "realistic" but I'm just faster with H-shifter, because I do not need to focus on "6,5,4,3,2" in a 3 seconds period to avoid over-shifting and can focus more at the driving line etc. Right hand is like on autopilot then
Edit: hah, first clue just found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powershifting

 

Oh nevermind, I'm progressing more deep into the "speed secrets" book finding all the answers and explanations! Really impressive book!

 

Not true unless you know a trick for my G27 that I don't.

You can physically put it in gear but the game won't go to that gear unless you are either using the clutch or rev matching

 

up-shift no clutch or rev matching needed, just lift of the throttle. down-shift just blip. easy to do and faster than paddles. If u cant do that then its your settings that are wrong.
