Peculiar engine/driving mishap in the GT3 RS

Engine sound completely cuts out and once the car was back on the ground it was as if the brakes were locked up. Tach drops to 1. Did the PDK get stuck in neutral?

 

You stalled it lol. Never brake when the (driven) wheels are in the air. Actually dont brake period when that happens.

 

That was my first thought although I didnt think that was possible in AC. Thanx! I usually brake just before I go airborne then a bit shortly after, clearly my timing was off, hahaha. Been a while since I'd driven Nords, twas' a messy lap, lol

 

Well, it half stalled at least. Enough to upset the drivetrain on landing since it had to catch up. In most games it would do that. Altho much worse when proper stalling is modeled I reckon.

 

I had the same last night with the 918, landed (probably broke mid air) and no engine sound whatsoever, was in 4th but with my gas pedal pressed nothing happened, changed down and it reved its nuts off.
Checked the replay a couple of times and although I believe I was mashing the gas pedal at the time my pedals app says otherwise

 

Its goofy because I've driven over 2000 miles at Nords and never did anything this silly, first time for everything I guess, ha! I've never gotten a handle on the 918, that car feels like alien tech to me , a higher quality wheel might help.

 

Yeah happened to me also a few times.

You braked when your wheels where in the air, so it almost stalled it and the auto clutch kicked in (rev stays at 1k), so that's why it didn't went back up when you came back to the ground, but after you gave some gas to release the auto clutch.

The downshift protection even keeps working, so if your speed is too fast for i.e. 3rd gear then you can change from 4th to highest gear all you want.
Only a touch on the throttle brings the engine back up so the auto-clutch disengages.


And in the replay the clutch isn't saved so you don't see what happens. I recorded the 918 video while driving so it shows the clutch.

 

Ahhh, very interesting. Thanx for this !

 

I was sure I had the throttle pedal mashed after I had landed, revs only came on after I changed down (into the red line), that's why it felt so weird at the time

 

Possible, but every time I had it only a throttle-blip solved it.

I even once forced it and tried different things, like shifting, braking, waiting/rolling. That's how I know the downshift protection was working.
